10.2.2 Set RF Silence and RF Sleep

The Set RF Silence and RF Sleep menu allows the user to initiate radio silence for a predetermined amount
of time, over the entire network. RF Sleep terminates communication (sleep command) between all of the
wireless radio modules in the network as a power saving feature. A longer sleep time will increase delay
between alarm conditions occurring and the alarms being activated. RF Silence prevents radios from
interfering with other RF devices on site (remote detonators). This feature will stay on until the user turns it
off, the sensors are not monitored and no alarms can be activated.
