PREFACE
Equipment Applications
It is the user’s responsibility to determine the suitability of the Scope products for any given application. Scope, including
its subsidiaries and Distributors, cannot provide specific advice within this manual, as each application will require
independent evaluation. Common sense dictates that certain applications may require back up systems to cover in the
event of mains or equipment failure. All applications should be thoroughly assessed by the installer in conjunction with
the customer so as to minimize risk. Scope has no control of the use and application of the frequencies issued by the FCC.
Some equipment that is individually licensed may have a greater degree of protection than other equipment that is
operated on a FCC License Assignment basis. The following information, however, may be of benefit.
Equipment Testing
Range tests should be carried out at least once a week on portable radio equipment, more often when critical criteria
apply. This should involve testing the unit past the limit of its required working range. Good working practice dictates that
a suitable system installation log, covering both portable and fixed equipment must be generated, together with a record of
the dates when the system has been manually checked and/or serviced, (with the aid of suitable test equipment etc.)
enabling the system performance to be compared with the original installation data.
The frequency of the tests required will vary between applications. If portable equipment has been dropped or is worn by
a person involved in an accident, the unit should be tested again before re-use. It must be stressed that the physical range
tests are essential and that any construction work or movement of plant or equipment could alter the signaling capability
of the unit. Radio equipment, like any other requires servicing from time to time to ensure that it is operating to its
optimum performance. It is therefore essential that equipment is inspected and tested by authorized service centers at least
once a year.
