RSSI Signal Strength Reading
Press and release SW2 once. This shows the
strength of the RSSI signal on the level LEDs, with
LED 1 indicating the weakest and LED 3 indicating
the strongest 2.4GHz RSSI signal strength.

LED 1 indicating the weakest and LED 3 indicating
the strongest 2.4GHz RSSI signal strength.
Battery Level Indication
Press and release SW2 twice in succession. This
displays the battery level on the three level LEDs,
with 1 indicating a low battery level, 2 indicating a
medium battery level, and 3 indicating a high
battery level.

58KHz Signal Lock Status
No button press required. The status LED flashes
red with no 58 KHz present, and flashes green at a
rate of approximately once per second as soon as
a 58 KHz signal lock is achieved.

Setting the unit as transmitter or receiver
Pressing and holding down SW1 displays the
current configuration. Pressing and holding down
SW1, while pressing and releasing SW2, one time,
toggles the unit between transmitter and receiver
mode. The setting is indicated by the 3 level LEDs.
The level LED 1 indicates the receiver function,
while the level LED 3 indicates a transmitter.

Power Save Mode
The phasing tool goes into power save mode to
preserve the battery when no 58 kHz signal is
detected for five consecutive seconds. All LEDs
turn off when it enters power save mode. The
phasing tool wakes up from power save mode
once a 58 kHz signal is detected. The mode is
disabled when the USB cable is connected
between the phasing tool and the computer.

System Synchronization Test Function
When the phasing tool is set to receiver mode, and
has a signal lock on the 58 kHz of a system whose
phase is being checked, it indicates the phase

58kHz Field Strength Mode
When the phasing tool is set to receiver mode, and
a laptop computer is connected the 58 kHz field
strength quality can be seen by typing “2” in the
command line of the laptop console window. This
starts the “PLL summary print” function that
continuously prints to the screen the lock or unlock
state of the phase lock loop and a relative signal
strength quality rating system represented by
groups of stars.

The displayed signal strength is based on the level
of the previous reading. Moving from a weaker field
to a stronger field results in an increase in the star
rating, and moving from a stronger field to a
weaker field would result in a decrease in the star
rating.

The field strength quality can be useful to locate
the point where the field is the strongest on
concealed antennas systems or some deactivators.
