Please note that radio range testing and site surveys should only be conducted by qualified radio
installation engineers who have a thorough understanding of UHF radio propagation characteristics in a
commercial environment.
This test kit can be used to simulate several products. Before continuing it is essential that you know
which product family is being proposed for the site so that you can conduct the relevant test(s). If you
don't know, stop and find out. If any further advice is needed / technical manuals, please call our
technical support team on 01803 860720 or support@scope-uk.com.
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THE TRANSMITTER BEING TESTED IS FITTED WITH AN AERIAL BEFORE APPLYING

- Page 3 -20 dBm (22.4mV) signal is far stronger than a -40dBm (2.24 mV) signal. B) The received signal strength received at the pager will be different from a Scope fixed receiver. All areas that do not receive a page when one is due, should be classed as out of range until a new page is received at an acceptable level with no corruption, then the range shall be classed as acceptable to work with the proposed location of the transmitter.
- Page 4 If full coverage cannot be achieved using a single transmitter, then additional transmitters and/or radio transponders will be required. The design of such systems can be complex, and advice should be sought from the Scope Technical Support Team on 01803 860720 or support@scope-uk.com. Page 4 of 10 RTESTPUMAN 1.7...
- Page 5 The supplementary features of PageTek Pro Mk2 systems (e.g., sending panel data to pagers, and/or messages from the ConnexPage PC paging application) are outside the scope of BS5839-1 and can therefore, potentially be used with radio transponders, possibly alongside additional transmitters as described above.

- Page 8 Scope Communications UK Ltd RTESTP User Manual Mini Dipole Antenna Model LDP Mounting Instructions Half-wave lightweight dipole antenna (LDPBNC) For optimum coverage, the dipole radiators must be positioned vertically, with the “E” symbol facing downwards towards the ground. Avoid mounting the dipole on or near to any metal girders, pillars, or other metallic obstructions.
- Page 9 Scope transmitters operate on UHF frequencies which incur high power losses in the antenna feeder cable. Always use quality 50 OHM coaxial cable. RG58 is only acceptable on cable runs of up to 5 metres.
- Page 10 If a repeater is needed, position the transmitter where you believe the repeater should be located and conduct the test again. Keep in mind that the Scope receivers may have different characteristics. Please note that these tests only reflect the conditions at the time of testing.
