Setup Guide
Indoor/outdoor: Dip switch 1, default setting is for “outdoor”, no matter the sensor is placed indoor or outdoor, set this dip switch to outdoor to avoid system picks up noise and triggering false lightning.
Antenna: Dip switch 2, default setting is for long antenna, as this is the antenna used inside.Please do not make any change with this dip switch setting.
Sensitivity: Dip switch 3,4. Default setting is for sensitivity between high and mid. If you think the sensor picked up a lot false lightning strikes, then please try with sensitivity Mid or Low. If sensor missed lightning detection, you may try with high sensitivity setting. If set to high sensitivity and still has missed lightning detection, then you may try with Dip switch 1 for “Indoor” setting to make the system even with higher gain and make the system most sensitive.
