Pagers Direct

Product Information

The new Connexions 3 system features an advanced paging encoder and transmitter with 8 dry-contact inputs, up to 3 serial ports, USB, Ethernet and telephone interface options. Internal protocol conversion option converts alien data, including ESPA444, from third party equipment into paging protocol.

Internal Protocol conversion enables paging from third party products that do not have paging ability such as intruder, fire or nurse call panels. The Connexions transmitter is normally linked to the panels serial printer port from where the data is captured, processed and converted to paging data before being transmitted to the pagers. Various third party panels are currently supported including Galaxy, Advanced, Menvier, Televic and Notifier with more being added all the time.

It can be connected directly to a personal computer with the aid of Connex Page software. This allows paging in both numeric and alphanumeric formats, with other enhanced features such as the ability to store unlimited pre-programmed messages, coupled with automatic diary scheduling functions to remind personnel about meetings, appointments and duties. These can be programmed hours, days, weeks, even months in advance. You can even use the software to send text messages to mobile phones! The 5 user and unlimited user versions of the software enable you to install the program across an entire network providing paging system access to anyone equipped with a terminal.

The Connexions transmitter is designed to work at UHF frequencies which give an incredibly high degree of reliability in terms of the signalling success within the commercial environment, whilst using very small and unobtrusive aerials. The Connexions system 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.

The standard quarter wave aerial (approx. 6 inches tall) will provide more than adequate performance for most industrial sites and buildings well in excess of 100,000 sq ft, or a free radiated range of up to a mile. Performance can be further improved by using a centre fed half wave dipole aerial mounted either inside, or outside the building at a more elevated height (see below).
