Other Antennas

 

 
The range and performance of this equipment can be improved by the addition of more efficient 
antennas*. These can be installed either inside or outside the building and are connected to the 
transmitter with 50 OHM coaxial cable.  
 
Glass mount antenna (UHFGM): for installation on the inside of a suitable window. This can boost 
range, especially if it is required in one direction from the building. 
 
The centre fed half wave di-pole, measuring approximately 12 inches from tip to tip, will provide 
excellent all round local signalling. This can be mounted either inside or outside a building. Two 
versions are available:  
1) a light duty antenna suitable for sheltered environments/internal installation (LUHFDP). 
2)  a heavy duty stainless unit with optional mounting hardware for more arduous applications 
(UHFDP). 
 
Other antennas, including co-linears, are available for external applications. Pre-terminated coaxial 
feeder cables are available for 5, 10 or 15 metre requirements. Consult our Sales Department for 
further details. 
 

Note !

 High frequencies can equate to high power losses. Always use quality cable. RG58 is only 

acceptable on cable runs of up to 5 metres. We recommend RG213, or equivalent, on greater 
lengths. If in doubt consult our Technical Department. 
 

*subject to license conditions. Specifically, mounting height and Effective Radiated Power (ERP)

 

Service Information  

 
If you experience a problem with your equipment you must first telephone our service hotline, where 
we may request that you undertake a few simple checks. If a problem still remains, we will arrange 
collection of your system by overnight carrier at our expense. Upon receipt, we will endeavour to 
service or replace the system within 24 working hours and return the same by overnight carrier. 
 
We suggest that you retain the packaging for your control equipment. Incorrectly packed goods 
returned for service are the responsibility of the customer. If we deem that new packaging is required 
before we can return the unit, a charge will be made. 
 
In the event that a pager requires service, return it directly to Scope (in the pre-addressed service bag 
supplied with your system) by registered post. Ensure that you carefully fill out the service form 
provided. Failure to complete this form in full will result in inevitable delays!    
 
Pagers returned with flat, incorrectly installed or leaking batteries will be charged for!
