Alerts and Page Relay Settings:
Unlike the dedicated page relay, the alert relay is configurable for various functions. It can be
configured to signal an alarm when an undesirable condition exists such as high temperature in the
base station or a low battery in a Beltpac. It can also be used as a general purpose output
controlled by a button on a Beltpac. The relay can be enabled for any combination of these actions.
The Page relay can be used to activate an external paging amplifier when a Beltpac user presses the
Page button. The enable setting on this page enables or disables paging for all users.
You can change the Base Alerts and Page Relay settings from the Configure tab>Edit Advanced
Alerts
box> Advanced>Alerts & Relay path as shown below:
Alert Settings
To set the Alert relay to close under the desired conditions select any or all of the boxes in the Alert
frame. If no boxes are checked, the alert relay will not be used.
• Error indicates the base detects a catastrophic error condition.
• Over Temp indicates the internal base temperature is excessive.
• BP Low Battery indicates that any Beltpac in the system has a low battery.
• BP Button indicates any Beltpac button that has been programmed as an alert button.
As an over temperature alarm, the relay is energized whenever the base station internal temperature
exceeds 60°C. It remains energized until the temperature falls below 55°C. The base will not shut
down automatically due to over temperature conditions.
However, operating the system above
the specified ambient temperatures may result in improper operation or damage.
