Introduction
The MPA3 is a low power Pendant transmitter and is part of a range of Short Range Device products manufactured by
Scope Communications UK Ltd. It is intended to be used in portable applications that require radio alerts on demand
from a user or automatically in the event of a fall or "man down" scenario*.
* dependant on unit's programmed configuration.
Frequency can be programmed from 430MHz - 460MHz with a power output of 10dBm. Standard Scope radio protocol
is transmitted to receiver devices and so can be used direct to pagers, although other protocols can be used on request.
Device Functionality
Removable Lithium battery power source.
2 triggers that can be configured for Normally Open, Normally Closed, or Toggle operation with multiple
repeats and a configurable repeat timer.
Configurable "repeat until cancel" mode.
3 axis accelerometer for Fall Detection, Shock Detection, ,Motion Detection or Tilt Detection.
Call cancelling using magnetic wand.
Configurable Test Call timer function.
Note : This is a low power device designed to for long life and minimal power consumption. Device settings can have a
considerable impact on the battery life.
3 Ancillary devices accompany the MPA if required.
An MPA programmer used to configure the MPA3. This is a contact free device powered by USB that connects
to the application software running on a PC. The MPA3 programmer is a write only device
An MPA "Read" cable that the user can use to connect to the MPA3 and read the device configuration.
An MPA docking unit that allows the user to safely store the MPA3 when not being used and which
automatically turns off the Accelerometer (if configured) and turns it back on when removed from the device.
These units can be purchased separately if required, they are not required for the MPA3 to operate as the device can be
configured to the user requirements in the factory.
