I. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, you own SPY RF TesT ! With its software, with the Spy RF ModeM TesT this device enables you to
determine precisely the position of your SPY RF recorders in an installation.
Indeed, the presence of obstacles (walls, partitions, furniture, people, diverse objects…) on the radio waves path between a
modem and a recorder weakens the signal, what could disturb an effective radio transmission. The nature and thickness of
crossed walls must be taken into account. It is to notice that the thickness of an obstacle should be measured in the radio
signal direction: it is harder for a radio signal to cross a wall obliquely than perpendicularly.

III. SPY RF USE

a) Stop

At reception, the SPY RF TesT is stopped. To activate it, you have to press on the button.

b) Start

To stop the SPY RF TesT, please press twice again the pushbutton.

c) Finding right places of spy RF recorders

Plug the Spy RF ModeM on the main power. The green led must light on.

Turn on the Spy RF TesT. The green light must light on.

Look for the best position (> 80%) according to the screen indications . Repeat the operation as many times as
necessary, depending on the number of recorders you have to place. If the level is below 80%, find another
position or if it will be necessary to use a Spy RF RelaY.

d) Finding right places of Spy RF RelaY

Plug the Spy RF ModeM on the main power. The green led must light on. Press the button on the side of the
ModeM to switch the power to 500mW; The red led must light on

Turn on the Spy RF Test and then press the pushbutton to switch the power to 500mW. The red led must light on

Look for the best position (> 80%) according to the screen indications. Repeat the operation as many times as
necessary, depending on the number of Spy RF RelaY you have to place regarding the position of the Spy RF
RelaY.
Once the position determined, move the ModeM Spy RF TestT to this position and search the position of the Spy
RF recorders (see III 3).
If the level is below 80%, it is necessary to use a 2nd Spy RF RelaY, so repeat the section (III 4)

Maximum reception level

The green led lights continuously. The Spy RF
TesT receive in 25mW (like any Spy RF except
Spy RF RelaY)
