System Operation
1) Connect the 90 degree aerial to the BNC connector (bayonet twist lock) located at the side of the
transmitter. Slide the plastic cover over the connector, engaging the two lugs into the corresponding
recesses in the side of the case. This will maintain the aerial in an upright position, which is important for
optimising the range of the transmitter. See Figure 1.
2) Connect the power supply to the power socket located at the far right hand rear corner of the base
station. See Figure 2. Ensure the two jack plugs are fitted (DC1 and DC2), even if they are not wired to a
switch, as removal will trigger the unit when it is first powered up (unless they have been programmed out -
see
Program Parameters, section 2: Inputs
)
Important note: Only use the power supply supplied with your system! The use of non-approved supplies
will invalidate all warranty and service.
3) Check that the pagers have their batteries inserted and that they are turned on (refer to the individual
pager instruction manuals supplied with the system).
4) Plug the power supply into a convenient wall socket and turn on the power. When the unit is first
powered up the system will display the following screen for a few seconds:

>
The flashing cursor invites you to enter a pager number (this can be any number between 1 and 9,999) after
which you must press ENTER for the number to be accepted. Pressing the CANCEL key at this stage will
return the user to the pager number prompt to begin again. Pressing the SEND key in place of the ENTER
key will transmit a tone only message to the pager using the default beep type .
5) After pressing ENTER, the next screen appears to offer the selection of the beep types. Again, the
flashing cursor invites you to enter a selection.
At this point the operator may choose to select a beep type 1,2,3 or 4,
or press ENTER without making a selection. This will attach the default
beep type to the call. (It should be noted that not all pager types
currently carry the transmitter selectable beep type). In the event that
BEEP TYPE (1-4):
your pagers are so equipped, selecting 1,2,3 and 4 will correspond to
>
beep types A, B, C and D respectively. Pressing the SEND key at this
stage will send a tone only message together with the beep type selected.
6) After selecting the beep type, press ENTER. The screen will now prompt
ENTER MESSAGE:
for you to enter a message of up to 20 digits, including [, ] and spaces.
>
Note: the screen will scroll after entering 15 digits.
7) After selecting the message, press ENTER or SEND. The call will now
be transmitted to the pager. A confirmation message will briefly appear
Sending Message
on the screen.
Please Wait
Pressing the ‘CANCEL’ key at any stage of operation and any entry level will immediately revert the unit to
the ‘ENTER PAGER No:’ prompt.
Dry Contacts
There are two volt-free (dry) contacts available for use with either Normally Open, Normally Closed or
Change of State switches (see
Program Parameters, section 2: Inputs
). When either is triggered, the
programmed message(s) will be sent to the selected pager (or group of pagers). When used in the
Normally Open mode only, the message will repeat whilst in the active state (can be used as a safety
mode).
Connection is via 3.5mm locking jack plugs at the rear of the unit (see fig. 2).
