Scope PageTek Pro Designed to work in conjunction with the building’s fire alarm system for alerting the deaf and hard of hearing, the PageTek Pro has been widely adopted by schools, universities, offices, factories, hotels, shops, and other premises open to visitors. The PageTek Pro 2, with its higher power output, RS232, and optional ethernet connectivity, provides even greater versatility and extends coverage on larger sites. Alerting Vulnerable People to The Activation of a Fire Alarm It is a legal requirement to notify everyone in a Commercial Building of a fire evacuation. The primary means of giving a warning of fire in a building comprises an audible alarm signal from a bell or electronic sounder or a verbal message from a voice alarm system.  However, there are many cases where audible messages & sounders need to be supplemented by a visual and tactile alarm signal controlled by a fire panel. The PageTek Pro 2 transmitter is connected to the fire system’s alarm output and triggered (latched) in a fire condition. The fire alarm message is transmitted to the pocket pager, which will continue to vibrate until the fire system is reset, when safe for staff to re-enter the building. Addressable Fire Systems For addressable fire systems, the ‘M’ version of the PAGETEK PRO 2 transmitter (PTPRO/2LM) allows RS232 serial data connectivity to most leading fire system control panels. This gives the added advantage of the radio pager being able to virtually mimic the text displayed on the fire control panel, allowing designated fire marshals to receive “pre-alarm” messages generated by the fire system, prior to a full evacuation being implemented.
