To determine if a Sync Bluetooth device location has adequate signal strength, you can measure the Bluetooth signal strength at its installation location.

Primex recommends using the nRF Connect for Mobile . This app allows you to scan and explore Bluetooth® low energy devices. The app is available for Apple and Android™ devices and can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

Primex recommends using the Android app, which its use has resulted in more accurate results.

A Bluetooth Bridge advertises as Bridge and Bluetooth Clocks and Repeaters advertise as a PrimexClock. In the Android app, the clock or repeater OneVUe 12-digit BT (Bluetooth) ID is displayed to uniquely identify each device advertising. In the Apple IOS app, the ID does not represent a device's OneVue Bluetooth ID and may be difficult to identify the device.

During a scan, it may take up to 10 minutes for a clock or repeater to advertise its strength.

  • Sync Bluetooth Clock & Sync Bluetooth Repeater: Bluetooth Radio Frequency (RF) signal is required to be -1 to -85 dBm at its installation location.

  • Sync Bluetooth Bridge: Bluetooth Radio Frequency (RF) signal is required to be -1 to -75 dBm at its installation location.
