Radio range settings

How to increase range if needed

Setting radio range

Senders ship with the range set at normal which is 800' with out obstructions impeding the signal. It can be increased for special case scenarios that need additional distance.


Option 1 - Use the display

The remote display can set radio range on connected nodes and is a simpler method. Refer to the display guide on setting radio range for more information.


Option 2 - Use the hardware button

Accessing internal controls

Unscrew the sensor cords and pull straight out to remove them. Remove the nuts on the sensor connectors using a 11mm socket.

  1. Remove the black endcap by unscrewing the 4 screws.  Screws are self-retaining in the endcap so loosen one halfway until you feel resistance then move to the next.  Continue until they are fully removed.

  2. Slide the circuit board out 1/2” to see the dip switch at the left.


Click the ZERO button to increase to the next higher level setting.  The status light will flash yellow to indicate the range setting you are on  (one flash = level 1, two flash = level 2, ...).  Once you reach the highest level setting the next press will be back to the start at normal.

Press and hold the MAX button for 1 sec to save your changes.
