Range check

To communicate to Bindelo Central, the SL900 sensors must be in the range of an SL900-Collector.

To help deploy the SL900 and ensure the sensor is within the range of the collector. On the backside of the sensor, under the battery lid, is a button.

  • 1 Range press button, 2 Range LED

When this button is pressed for a couple of seconds, the Range LED will flash and then be solid, indicating the range test mode is on. Every time that the Collector replies to a ping from the sensor, the Range LED will blink; this means that the Collector is in range. It is essential to turn off the range test mode by pressing the button again until the LED turn off. While the sensor is in range test mode, it won’t send any readings, and the battery will be depleted very soon.
