Multi-Purpose Transmitter - VHF/UHF

20-85-0000

The 20-85 is a compact paging transmitter suitable for hand-held or wall mounted use. Each button on the unit can be programmed with its own unique message. Pressing a button will transmit the message associated with that button either to a pocket pager, or to industrial, forestry or commercial hardware in order to initiate relays and switch units on or off, as desired. The units are available in VHF and UHF versions.

Pressing a button will transmit the message associated with that button to a pocket pager where it will display on the screen. The units are available in VHF and UHF versions. Transmitters configured to send paging messages can be utilised in a wide variety of applications such as personal and commercial security, medical alert, paging in restaurants and bistros, and customer assistance in supermarkets or hardware stores.

Available as one, four and eight button units, four additional digital inputs are also available for use as required.

Note: The 20-85 should not be used for industrial machinery control where a fail-safe mode of operation is essential. Please contact Salcom for advice if this is a requirement.
