1.3 Diagnostic Function Breakdown
RF SIGNAL STRENGTH:
RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indication. It is a measure of the strength
of a 433MHz ARC signal that has been received by the Diagnostic Tool.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION:
The low battery icon is displayed when the battery power is less than 2.8V.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE SELECTION:
MOTOR Mode
REMOTE Mode
SENSOR Mode
REPEATER Mode
HUB Mode
(See Section 1.4)
CHANNEL:
There are six channels from 0 to 5. Each channel can only be paired to one motor.
The previous pair relation will be overwritten if a new motor is paired to the
diagnostic tool in the same channel.
ARROW ICONS FOR TRANSMISSION & RECEIVING:
UP icon indicates that data is being transmitted.
DOWN icon indicates that valid data is receiving.
NON-POWER SAVING MODE ICON
Circular icon indicates power saving mode is not active. The Diagnostic Tool will not
turn off after 60 seconds when it is not in use in this state.
NUMBER OF CRC ERRORS:
If a “bad CRC” is received, this counter is incremented by 1 each time. The
maximum count is 99 after which it rolls back to 0.
PRODUCT IDENTIFIER/ADDRESS DISPLAY:
In each mode, it shows the address of the testing device in the current channel.
The signal strength is displayed in dbm where the highest power signal is -40dbm
and the lowest is -120dbm. This range is also graphically represented by the bar-
graph indicator.

2 DIAGNOSTIC SCENARIOS
Using the MOTOR mode, the Diagnostic Tool simulates (pretends to be) a standard remote, so it can send
commands (just like a normal remote) and then measure the RF response signal being sent to it by a Motor.
The received signal strength is displayed on the diagnostic remote.
1. Select the MOTOR mode on the Diagnostic Tool [section 1.4]
2. Select a channel
3. Pair the ARC Motor to the Diagnostic Tool [section 1.7]
4. Press the UP, DOWN or STOP button of the Diagnostic Tool
5. Evaluate Diagnostic Tool readings at a distance
The 433 MHz signal power reduces with the increase of the propagation. The sensitivity of the motors or
remote controls is -120dbm. The Diagnostic Remote can measure the signal power of the transmitter over a
distance.

USING THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL:
CRC ERRORS – These can be caused by interference. A common cause can be garage door remotes and lack
of signal strength. Turn off anything that emits an RF signal while testing.
SIGNAL STRENGTH – Measure the RF Signal power transmitted from the motor. The signal attenuates with
the increase of propagation distance. The minimum value should be bigger than -110dbm for reliable RF
communication.

address of the standard remote with the Diagnostic Tool.
4. Fix the Diagnostic Tool next to the motor antenna.
5. Move away from the motor antenna/Diagnostic Tool.
6. Press a standard remote button over a distance.
7. Evaluate Diagnostic Tool readings. The address should be the same as set in step 3.
8. Toggle the POWER SAVING MODE to ON on the Diagnostic Remote once completed.
2.2 Remote Control RF Signal Reception Test
OPTIONAL: Use wire to attach Diagnostic Remote in place next to motor antenna (wire not supplied).
IMPORTANT: Ensure shade can rotate without interference.

USING THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL:
CRC ERRORS – These can be caused by interference. A common cause can be garage door remotes and lack
of signal strength. Turn off anything that emits an RF signal while testing.
SIGNAL STRENGTH – The power of the RF signal from the tested remote propagated over a distance. The
longer the distance, the weaker the signal power. The value should be more than -110dbm for good RF
communication.
DESTINATION ADDRESS - This information can be used to check if the signal is from the test remote.
