Scope CX6 Connexions Mains Powered Transmitter

Scope CX6 Connexions Mains Powered Transmitter

The Connexions System has always provided the latest in on-site paging technology at a realistic price, its modular design concept allows you to buy the basic unit and to add to it as your company’s needs change so the initial outlay is kept to a minimum.

Flexibility has always been the key word with the Scope Connexions Systems, with its modular high-performance interfaces enabling robust connectivity to many host devices. They include connection to internal telephone, PC network, RS232, RS485, USB, dry-contacts and voltage triggers. There is also an internal protocol conversion option, which enables the translation of incoming RS232 data from host hardware into paging data, providing paging from various fire, intruder, nurse call, building management systems etc.

The basic unit has two RS232 ports and eight dry contact inputs, which enables the system to be hard wired to anything from an alarm control panel to a front door bell to alert prescribed users in the event that required criteria occur. All Connexions systems are supplied configured with default settings and are able to support up to 4-digit pager numbers as standard (9999), so expansion is already built in.

The transmitter is designed to work at UHF frequencies which give an incredibly high degree of reliability in terms of the signalling success within a commercial environment, whilst using very small and unobtrusive aerials. It uses the same international standard digital signalling system (POCSAG) deployed by most wide area paging companies. This is accepted to be amongst the most sophisticated and reliable in the world.
