How to Program Oscillate on Flex® from a Controller

If your Flex Monitor has a wireless or panel-mounted controller, you can program oscillation patterns without using the SmartPlex App. This is ideal for in-field setups where quick deployment and directional sweeping are needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Enter Oscillate Program Mode
    • Hold down the Oscillate button on the controller for 5–10 seconds.
    • The controller will start flashing orange, indicating you’re in Oscillate Program Mode.
  2. Set the First Oscillation Point
    • Move the monitor to the first desired position in your sweep.
    • Tap the Oscillate button once.
    • The controller will flash white, confirming the position is saved.
  3. Set the Second Oscillation Point
    • Move the monitor to the second sweep point.Tap the Oscillate button again.A second white flash confirms the point is accepted.
    A minimum of two points is required for oscillation to function.
  4. (Optional) Add More Sweep Points
    • Continue setting additional points using the same process.
    • Tap the Oscillate button once at each new position.
  5. Exit Program Mode
    • Hold down the Oscillate button again for 5–10 seconds.
    • The controller will turn blue, signaling that you’ve exited programming mode.
