3.1 RFSS Site Evaluation
To test RFSS at a desired location for a new device installation:
1. Prepare the wLSN Hub for site testing.
Refer to Section 3.1.1.
2. Test the site for acceptable RFSS using one of the following
options:
- The wLSN Hub and a device
Refer to Section 3.1.2 on page 9.
- The wLSN Hub and the Installation Tool
Refer to Section 3.1.3 on page 11.
3.1.1 Preparing the wLSN Hub for Site Testing and RFSS Mode

3. Find a suitable location for the hub base and apply power by
either connecting it to the control panel (refer to the control
panel’s installation instructions), or temporarily connecting a
9 VDC to 12 VDC battery.
4. Insert the wLSN Hub back into the base. Rotate the
enclosure locking mechanism to the locked position.
5. Proceed to the appropriate procedure as selected in Step 2
of Section 3.1 RFSS Site Evaluation.
3.1.2 RFSS Testing Between wLSN Hub and Device
1. Take the device being tested to its planned mounting
location.
2. Remove and re-insert the device’s batteries.
The device’s LED turns on for approximately 5 sec.
3. Quickly press and release the tamper switch button (refer to
Figure 2) four times while the LED is on (5 sec) to enter
RFSS mode.

4. To start a new RFSS session, press and release the device’s
tamper switch once.
To force a device out of RFSS Mode, press and hold the
device’s tamper switch for 5 sec, or remove and reinsert the
device’s batteries.
5. Repeat this procedure for each device you are testing. When
you finish testing the devices, return the wLSN Hub’s
switches to their original position.

wLSN | Reference Guide | 3.0 RFSS Mode (RF Signal Strength)
Refer to Mode 1 and Mode 2 (page 12) for more information
on acceptable signal strength levels.
If the RFSS is unacceptable, reposition either the wLSN
Hub or the Installation Tool until an acceptable location is
found.
5. Repeat this procedure for each device’s location you are
testing. When you finish testing locations, return the wLSN
Hub’s switches to their original position.

Mode 2 provides two indicators of signal strength: Packet
Success Ratio (PSR) and Received Signal Strength (RSS).
PSR is the ratio of successfully received packets to sent
packets. The Installation Tool shows PSR as a percentage.
For example, if the wLSN Hub sends 10 packets and the
Installation Tool receives 9 packets, the PSR is 90%.
RSS indicates the power level of the received messages.
The Installation Tool shows RSS using power bars. The
maximum number of bars is five.
The best location for placing the device is the one that
shows the highest PSR percentage and the highest number
of power bars. A PSR of 100% and five RSS power bars
indicates the strongest signal, which identifies the best
location.

Exiting RFSS Mode
The Installation Tool automatically exits RFSS Mode 5 min after
the last key press. You can also press and hold the [*] and [#] keys
together to exit RFSS Mode. The Installation Tool powers down
from the main menu 30 sec after the last key press.

3.2 RFSS Automatic Entry
RFSS Automatic Entry is part of incremental device
enrollment. To use RFSS Automatic Entry, ensure your
control panel supports incremental device enrollment.
Otherwise, refer to
page 8 to enter RFSS and enroll devices.
To check RFSS and enroll devices one at a time into the system:
1. Start the discovery process from the control panel.
Refer to your control panel’s installation instructions.
2. Install the batteries or remove the battery tab from the
device when the system prompts you to do so. The following
events occur:
a. The device’s LED turns on for approximately 5 sec to
indicate a successful power-up self-test.
b. The device detects the system.
c. The wLSN Hub and device exchange data packets.
During this exchange, the device’s LED turns off for
approximately 7 to 11 sec.
d. When the data exchange is complete, the device’s LED
shows the RFSS evaluation results for approximately 15
sec.

device’s tamper switch for 5 sec. Before the device exits
RFSS Mode, it tests for RFSS again and shows the results on
its LED for approximately 15 sec.
5. When the discovery process is complete, the system exits
RFSS Mode. To test the device, fault and restore the device’s
input (for example, remove the magnet from the doorwindow contact) once. At this time, the system announces
the point number it assigned to the device.
3.3 Manual RFSS Testing
To place a specific device into RFSS Mode for troubleshooting
purposes:
1. Remove the device from where it is mounted.
2. Remove and re-insert the batteries.
