ROLLEASE ACMEDA Automate™ Programming Instructions | MT02-0101-072001 | 71.3 Diagnostic Function BreakdownRF SIGNAL STRENGTH:RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indication. It is a measure of the strength of a 433MHz ARC signal that has been received by the Diagnostic Tool. LOW BATTERY INDICATION:The low battery icon is displayed when the battery power is less than 2.8V.DIAGNOSTIC MODE SELECTION:MOTOR ModeREMOTE ModeSENSOR ModeREPEATER Mode HUB Mode(See Section 1.4)CHANNEL:There are six channels from 0 to 5. Each channel can only be paired to one motor. The previous pair relation will be overwritten if a new motor is paired to the diagnostic tool in the same channel.ARROW ICONS FOR TRANSMISSION & RECEIVING:UP icon indicates that data is being transmitted.DOWN icon indicates that valid data is receiving.NON-POWER SAVING MODE ICONCircular icon indicates power saving mode is not active. The Diagnostic Tool will not turn off after 60 seconds when it is not in use in this state.NUMBER OF CRC ERRORS:If a “bad CRC” is received, this counter is incremented by 1 each time. The maximum count is 99 after which it rolls back to 0. PRODUCT IDENTIFIER/ADDRESS DISPLAY:In each mode, it shows the address of the testing device in the current channel.The signal strength is displayed in dbm where the highest power signal is -40dbm and the lowest is -120dbm. This range is also graphically represented by the bar-graph indicator.
