Extended Range
In large buildings or in old buildings with very thick internal walls the standard range may be insufficient. It is possible to increase the
operating range of the system from around 100m in open air to 1000m. To increase the range on the Pager or SignWave, simply switch
key 5 on. In the case of the Pager it will be necessary to switch the Pager off, move Key 5 to the on position and wait 4 seconds before
switching the unit back on before this change will take effect.
False Alarms
The SA3000 system is unaffected by other radio systems and it is impossible for other equipment to cause either the Pager or SignWave to
false trigger.
It is however possible for an SA3000 system in a neighbouring property to trigger another SA3000 system if they are both on the same
System Channel and within range. The typical open air range of a system is around 100m in open air.
Keys 1-4 on the Pager, SignWave and all transmitter units are used to set the system channel. Four keys will enable the user to select up
to 16 different system channels. All units within a system must have the same channel key settings in order to operate correctly, i.e. If the
Pager or SignWave have keys 1 and 2 in the on position it will be necessary for all transmitters to have keys 1 and 2 set to the on position
for the system to work.
If a system is receiving false alarms, it is most likely that the signals are being received from another SA3000 system nearby. If your
system is in long range mode (Key 5 is in the on position giving an effective range of up to as much as 1000m in open air, then your
receiver is more likely to be affected by other systems on the same channel which may now be in range.
If false triggers occur it will be necessary to change your system channel. In the case of the Pager unit it will be necessary to switch the
Pager off before making any key changes. Once these changes have been made the Pager must be left for around 5 seconds before it is
switched back on, in order for the channel change to be registered.
ALWAYS USE 9 VOLT ALKALINE BATTERIES IN THE MONITOR UNITS. LOWER COST BATTERIES WILL ONLY LAST A FEW WEEKS
