Ideally suited to a variety of Reception area, retail assistance and control applications, the 20-86-9000 is a small, high specification, POCSAG Call-Point paging transmitter utilising the 20-86-5000 paging transmitter printed circuit board. Messages can be sent directly to pocket pagers, audible or visual alarms or to LCD screens.
Call-Point Transmitters - UHF
The 20-86 range of products can send text messages directly to paging receivers, providing simpler, lower cost systems since intermediate receivers and transmitters are not required for short range applications.
Using an appropriate receiver, the 20-86-9000, can also be used for a general remote control applications such as turning on lights, disabling alarms etc.
Powered by a standard CR2032 coin cell, the transmitter will operate for more than one thousand transmissions under normal conditions before the battery needs to be replaced.
20-86 transmitters support up to five inputs, each of which can be programmed with up to a thirty five character message. The units can be programmed with a serial programming cable (purchased separately) or they can be supplied pre-programmed.
Although the 20-86 is a low power transmitter, when used as a call-point paging transmitter a direct line of sight range of up to eight hundred metres can be expected. When used within buildings the range will be reduced depending upon the building, but it will still be significant.
The 20-86-9000 fits the form factor of many standard electrical face plates so that it can remain in keeping with the surrounding switch gear in cosmetically sensitive areas.
By default the 20-86-9000 is supplied with a mounting block, but it can be flush mounted in the same manner as most electrical switch plates if required.
