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.
