Frequently asked questions 7
This chapter answers and provides further information for the most frequently asked questions about
the MySentry system.
How do I turn the monitor on/off?
Turn the Monitor on/off by plugging it into, and out of, the power supply. There is no power switch.
How many pumps does MySentry monitor?
MySentry is designed to monitor a single pump.
How often does the pump send a transmission?
The pump sends a transmission every minute.
What is the RF frequency that the MySentry transmitter uses?
The MySentry operates at ultra high frequency, similar to a mobile phone.
What situations will cause RF interference?
Most cellular (mobile) phones and 900 MHz cordless phones, when transmitting or receiving, may cause
significant interruption of transmitter-receiver communication. It is likely that other devices
operating in similar frequency ranges will have a similar effect. This interference, however, does not
cause any incorrect data to be sent and will not cause any harm to your transmitter.
The pump includes a programmable WEAK SIGNAL alert that notifies you when one or more expected
transmissions were not received as expected by the pump. (The pump will also issue a LOST SENSOR
alert if communication is interrupted for an extended period of time.)
