Troubleshooting | BT1 not pairing when sending multiple RS-232 commands

Learn how to resolve a pairing issue when multiple RS-232 commands are sent.

Problem

BT1 will not complete pairing when sending multiple RS-232 commands.


Causes

When the BT1 receives multiple commands, it will process them sequentially as received cutting off the previous process.


Solution | Workaround

A delay between commands is needed to ensure each process is completed.

Example

If issuing the BTB command to initiate pairing, you must then wait before issuing a BTS for device status (5-10seconds should suffice). If you request a status before the unit has had a chance to connect, the pairing will fail.
