How to identify what signals are causing the Zone Protector to alert?

The Zone Protector adds an event to the System Event Log each time it alerts.
It is possible to view the event log to determine what signals are causing  the Zone Protector to alert.

 

  1. Login to the Zone Protectors web interface
  2. Click on Device Information to display the System Event Log
  3. Scroll  to the top to System Event Log window to display the most recent event (refresh your browser if necessary)
  4. Note the RF Alert event(s) listed
  5. The RF Alert event contains the following information
  • Channel Name
  •  dBr value (strength of the signal)
  • (Firmware 2.15 onwards also displays the specific frequency detected)

 

In the example below a signal was detected on the USA PCS 1900 cell phone band, this signal was relatively strong at 53dBr, indicating possible cell phone activity within the detection range.

It is also possible to reduce the detection radius (reduce the sensitivity) for each individual channel on the Zone protector  – Click here to learn how

It is possible to reduce or increase the detection radius (adjust the channel sensitivity) for each individual channel on the Zone protector.
