Repeater
A Repeater is a device that receives the signals from Quick Response
transmitter and communicates them to the Receiver. This enables the system to
cover larger facilities. Repeaters are supervised; a routine signal is sent from
each Repeater and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault
event is generated in the Event List at the computer.
Locator
Locators receive signals from Quick Response transmitters, add location data,
and communicates the signals to the receiver. When an event occurs, the map of
your facility will indicate the Locator that received the signal from the alarming
device. Locators are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Locator and
if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in
the Event List at the computer.
Paging Base
The Paging Base (optional) sends radio frequency signals to the pager
receiver(s) when events occur. The pager receiver indicates the name, room
number, and event type of the transmitter that issued the alarm.
Back-Up Interface
The Back-up Interface is an optional device that takes over the responsibility of
communicating with the paging base and provides alarm information
(transmitter number only) in the event of an inoperable computer.
