8.3) Sounder Mute Facility
During fault or fire indication, the Pagetek Pro MK2’s internal sounder may be silenced by
pressing the Sounder Mute button on the front panel. If a new fault or fire condition arises,
the sounder will re-activate.
9) Pagers
9.1 In Range Indicator
a) All applicable Scope pagers are equipped with an In Range indicator function,
consisting of an antenna icon on the display, which will extinguish if the pager fails to
detect test calls sent by the Pagetek Pro MK2 transmitter within a preset time (default is 4
minutes).
b) When used with the Pagetek Pro MK2 system, an additional text message and tactile
alert feature is pre-programmed into the pager. If the pager fails to receive a test call within
a 4 minute period (test calls are sent every 50 seconds as a default), the pager will display
“NO SERVICE” and vibrate until acknowledged by the user. After acknowledgement, the
“NO SERVICE” message will remain on the pager until it comes back into the service area.
c) If the pager remains outside the coverage area, after 15 minutes it will provide a
vibrating reminder alert (2-3 seconds), repeated every 15 minutes until back in coverage.
d) Note that this function will be enabled for any pagers supplied with or for a Pagetek Pro
MK2 system.
9.2 Low Battery Indicator
a) All applicable Scope pagers are equipped with a Low Battery indicator function,
consisting of a part-empty battery icon on the display, which will appear when the battery
needs replacing.
b) When used with the Pagetek Pro MK2 system, an additional text message and tactile
alert feature is pre-programmed into the pager. This will display “LO CELL” or “LOW
BATTERY” and vibrate (distinct pattern) for 3 seconds, repeated every 15 minutes until the
battery is replaced (or becomes exhausted).
9.3 Vibrate alerts
a) All applicable Scope pagers are equipped with distinct vibrate alerts, so that a LOW
BATTERY or NO SERVICE type call can be differentiated from a FIRE type call. In all
cases, distinct messages are displayed on the pager’s screen. Contact our technical sales
team on 01803 860720 for further details and advice on selecting the most appropriate
pager for your requirements.
9.4 Hand Programming
Some pagers allow certain features to be programmed manually using the pager buttons.
