The MINERVA pager system is designed to
provide a facility to signal all text messages or
alarm/fault messages from a local transmitter to
the pagers.
The transmitter connects to the serial printer port
of an MPIM, if a local printer is connected to the
controllers MPIM serial port, a second MPIM must
be used. The pager system requires a +12V d.c.
connection (from the MINERVA) and a serial port
connection. If the transmitter needs to be located
further than 2 m from the MINERVA, then a non-
standard serial printer cable may be used, up to a
maximum distance of 14m.
CAUTION: Before any installation is carried out, an
on site radio paging license must be obtained by
the customer. Care should be taken when
designing pager systems. Normal practice
indicates that a site survey should be done.
Contact Product Management for additional advise
on site surveys.
The Type A alarm pager can display alarm/fault
messages. The Type A maintenance pager
displays all messages sent by MINERVA.
The pagers:-
• Display messages sent out by the MINERVA as
displayed on the Minerva LCD
• Internal log of up to 40 events
• Audible and/or vibrate warning of event
• Allows the event log to be displayed.
The transmitter:-
• Connects using a 9way D type MINERVA
interface lead
• Can be setup for transmission to Type A
• Using standard aerial, provides a 500 metre
sphere of transmission in open air

Pager Interface
The function of the Consys configuration software
is to customise a MINERVA addressable panel
system to the requirements of the customer.
Configuration is performed on the basis of data
obtained from the customer. This data should
have been documented by the system designer
using form 180 (available from the website) and
includes the following information:
• The number and location of detectors and
other ancillaries.
• The addresses of the above devices
• The 'zoning' requirements
• The number and location of any interface
boards
• The addresses of the above boards
• Bell mapping options
• Co-Incidence grouping
• System fire options
• Network configuration
This information is fed into 'CONSYS' and stored
on a floppy disk. This disk can be used with a
laptop computer and downloaded into the panel
via a download lead. Most laptop computers have
9 way serial comms ports, but sometimes one
may require a 25 way serial download lead. A
"dongled" variant of Consys exists which only
permits Consys to be installed on PCs with a
dongle. Additionally variants also exist which
restrict access to Consys features i.e. customer
and distributor variants.
A number of Consys variants are available e.g.
UK (non-dongled), UK dongled, UK Customer, UK
distributor, US (non-dongled), Dutch (non-
dongled), Marine (dongled).
Registered copies of the Consys configuration
software are available from the technical
distribution department, Walthamstow, London
