SPECIAL PRODUCTS
Flashpointer is a highly flexible interface unit which can be
used to provide an effective data connection between almost any
data source and many types of radio communication system. An
example of where this is best applied is when Flashpointer is used
with a fire alarm panel. When the Alarm is activated the
information is transmitted to a Handset and displayed as text. It
is possible to accommodate both the modern address alarm, and the
older legacy systems. In addition Flashpointer has been supplied
fully compatible with Building Management Systems (BMS) to provide
a wide range of information output.
Callpointer is a telephone system interface unit which can be
used to provide a two-way voice connection between almost any
telephone system and many types of radio communication system.
Callpointer is used to connect an on-site PABX telephone system to
a Base Station so that any telephone extension can contact any
radio handset. In reverse, a suitable radio handset can contact
any telephone user and hold a conversation with them. Where the
radio handset is fitted with a full keypad the maximum dialling
flexibility is achieved.
Taskpointer is a system which allows Text to be inputted at a
PC or Workstation and transmitted to a radio Handset and displayed
as a readable message. Taskpointer provides an effective means of
communicating status messages to your team members on-site. In
addition the handset can send Status Messages to provide the
office with confirmation that the job has been completed.
Pinpointer is a system which allows the location of radio
handsets to be determined and the information displayed. The
system installation comprises a number of small low power beacons
which provide the handset with positional information. The handset
will communicate its Identity and Position to the control point as
necessary. In the event of an incident an emergency button on the
handset can be used to summon assistance. This facility is useful
in improving lone worker safety.
Mandown
is a facility which can be incorporated in many types of
on-site portable radio systems. The radio handset with this
facility will sense the transition from vertical to
horizontal and provide the handset user with an audible
warning that an alarm is about to be transmitted. If no
action is taken within a short period - usually ten seconds
- the handset will send an alarm transmission to a control
point with the identity of the caller.
Lone Worker is a facility which can be incorporated
in many types of on-site portable radio systems. The radio
handset with this facility will sense whether a user has
made a transmission within a preset period. If there has
been no radio activity within this period the handset will
provide an audible alert. The user can acknowledge the alert
by pressing a button on the handset which will reset the
timer; if no reset is obtained the handset will send an
alarm to a control point with the identity of the caller.

accommodated using suitable voltage converters which are

Antenna System Installation
The base station antenna system is probably the most
important item in any installation. We provide a wide range
of masts, towers, feeder cables and antennas to suit any
requirement. The antenna radiating pattern is carefully
considered when designing and specifying the radio system to
ensure the coverage is adequate. In addition our long term
experience of the requirements of the Licensing Authority
which is OFCOM in the UK will ensure that the design will
not exceed the known licence limitations.
Programming Capability
The programming of most popular types of two-way radio
equipment can be undertaken by our service department. We
are familiar with most of the commonly used signalling
systems including Selective Calling using 5Tone and FFSK. We
can often suggest small changes in equipment programming
which will enhance its operation and add value for the user.
Systems Analysis
Where a system is not providing the level of service
required we offer our consultancy service which will provide
a system inspection, analysis and a written report which can
be used to determine technical options and funding
requirements. This service may not necessarily be chargeable
depending on the system complexity.

mind on a fixed budget. Many types of communication
equipment are covered and the availability of service spare
