Caution:
A few wireless expanders installed close to each
other may interfere. In this case, use a different frequency
hopping pattern by setting appropriate DIP switches.

Connection quality
See Advisor Advanced Installation and Programming Manual
for more information.
Verifying the connection quality via control panel menu
You can verify the connection quality using appropriate control
panel internal menus.
The approximate connection quality levels are listed in Table 2
below.
