ARB® FixedBase™ AMI Field Service Tool
The Field Service Tool (FST) is a handheld-based device with an integrated 450MHz transceiver that utilizes the ARB® FixedBase™ AMI System’s two-way communication to confirm an installation is successful before the installer leaves the site. Upon a magnet swipe, the R450™ MIU sends a signal which is received by all collectors within range. The collector which records the best RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) sends a signal back in response. The FST records this communication in real-time and supplies the installer with a green light for successful installation or a red light indicating that signal strength isn’t optimal for two-way communication. This information is provided as part of the normal installation procedure, resulting in instantaneous validation of the installation.
