SIMPLE ALERT
PAGING SYSTEM
Installing the Transmitter
The first consideration in the placement of the transmitter is convenience. It should be
readily accessible in a central location within the paging area. Pay close attention to
nearby obstructions such as walls, pipes, ducts, mirrored glass, or other similar barriers
that may weaken or misdirect transmitted signals. Certain materials and construction,
especially metal, have the potential to partially or completely block the paging signal.
The next consideration involves safety. Ensure the unit is securely mounted
and away from liquids, extreme heat and possible physical damage. Also
remember that the transmitting unit requires a 110V-220V AC power outlet. Be
sure an antenna is attached prior to applying power to avoid damage to the
transmitter. An optional molded plastic cover is available as an accessory
purchase, to protect the transmitter, especially in areas where spillage is
possible.
For best results, the transmitter antenna must be vertical. Ideally the transmitter
should be centrally located within the area where paging is to occur. Since this
is not always possible, range testing at different locations may be required to
obtain the desired performance.
