Microframe Corporation Series 3400 - Coaster Call Paging System
4 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
4.1 DESCRIPTION
The Datapage Lite is a desktop transmit-
ter that can be used to transmit to up to 9999
coasters. This transmitter can also transmit an
out of range signal. If enabled, when coasters
are out of range of the transmitter they play a
melody (ie sing).
4.2 RANGE EXPANSION
The range and performance of this equip-
ment can be improved by the addition of more
efficient antennas.* These can be installed
either inside or outside the building and are
connected to the transmitter with 50 OHM
coaxial cable.
The center-fed half wave dipole, measuring
approximately 12 inches from tip to tip, will
provide excellent all round local signalling. It
is a light duty antenna suitable for sheltered
environments/internal installation (LUHFDP).
It includes a 15 foot cable.
NOTE: High frequencies can equate to
high power losses. Always use quality cable.
RG58 is only acceptable on cable runs of up to
5 meters (16.4 feet.) We recommend RG213,
or equivalent, on greater lengths. If in doubt
consult your dealer.
*Subject to license conditions. Specifically,
mounting height and Effective Radiated Power
(ERP).
4.3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
It is the purchaser's responsibility to deter-
mine the suitability of this equipment and its
derivatives for any given application.
Good working practice dictates that a suit-
able system installation log must be generated,
together with a record of the dates when the
system has been manually checked, (with the
aid of signal strength meters, etc.) enabling the
system performance to be compared with the
original installation data.
