Selecting A Pager

 

GD Systems' pagers can be roughly divided into 2 categories :-

 

Numeric

A numeric pager simply will only display numeric characters on the screen 0 - 9. These pager are ideal if all you with to communicate is a telephone number to call, or perhaps an alarm.

A system could be set up where an fridge high temperature alarm is configured to display as 1

An exception to this is theScope GEON8T  that will display some preprogrammed text in addition to all numeric characters

Alphanumeric

This type of pager is capable of displaying full alphnueric text.

This data can originate from another piece of equipment (eg a nurse cal system) which could display "CALL  Bedroom 21" for instance

Most paging transmitters can be connected to a PC which could enable a receptionist to page any text require "All avaliable first aid staff to the medical room" for instance.

A limited numer of messages can be canned or preprogrammed into the transmitter, which can be sent using keys on the tranmitter itself.
