1. Radio Quality Indication
Document Version: 2.00
(Successor of «Radio Quality Check»)
Sensor Firmware Version: all CBox Software Version: v3
Language: English

2. Objective of this document
Better understand the interaction between the sensors and the system
Identify a radio communication problem on a sensor
If a radio issue occurs, when/how to change the radio channel

3. Requirement: Software on CBox
Software CBox: v3.3.0 or later
In the control box’s « Basic Settings » menu the software version in use is shown on the bottom left

4. Requirement: Firmware on LED
Firmware LED Display: v1.6 or later
In the control box’s « Basic Settings » menu, click on « Sensor Check ». The firmware version of the LED is shown on the top left.

5. Assignment/Pairing of the Sensors
Each sensor is factory pre-configured to communicate only with one single control box. Prior to checking them, ensure yourself that they are actually communicating with the system through the « Sensor Check » menu.
If necessary, assign/pair a sensor by clicking on the machine element’s name.
Click on the blue « ? » in case of questions.

6. Radio Quality/Strength
Access the Radio Analysis menu through the button in the « Basic Settings » menu.
Note: If you don’t see this button, verify that you have the needed firmware version of the LED.

7. Radio Quality/Strength
« Lost frames » mode: Displays the raw information without periodic analysis.
« Reception Quality » mode: Displays the quality of transmission by indicating the total/received frames ratio in %.

Change the radio channel
Reset to zero

8. Radio Quality/Strength
In ‘Radio Quality', with the default average mode set to 5 seconds, you observe for each sensor the quality of the signal reception every 5 seconds.
Poor quality on a single sensor  Change the location of the sensor.
General poor quality
 Change the radio channel to improve reception.
Attention: If the reception is “really” poor, some (or all) sensors may not follow the channel change: Assign/pair them again.
 Change the location of the in-cab LED (= the antenna)
Examples:
- 100% of signal loss for 3 seconds or more, the Sensor displays red
- 50% of signal loss for 10 seconds: Half of the frames lost, the angle value will be refreshed only half of the time.
Note: Decrease the average to identify occasional interruptions.
