Most of Visiplex wireless products are designed to be installed without the need of professional installers. If your system is designed to cover a very large facility, such as an entire university or medical center, it is recommended to use a professional installer to install the main system transmitter and antenna. If you need or choose to install the system by a professional, Visiplex can offer professional installation services by our staff or recommend one of our dealers in your area.
Tips for selecting the right transmitter size for your project:
To determine the size of a transmitter that will provide sufficient RF coverage to your project, you will need first to verify a few factors such as:
Facility Size - The total number of buildings and floors that needs to be covered. Antenna positioning - Locate a central and the most elevated installation point for better coverage. Construction materials - The more steel in the construction the more power you will need. Shielded areas - Special areas (X-Ray rooms) will need more power or special handling.
For example; an average grade school will need 2-8 watts of transmitter power, average high school 8-10 watts, hospital 25-40 watts, large medical centers 40-100 Watts and large universities
100-350 watts. To get more help with choosing the right transmitter to match your project needs, please call our sales representatives.
Power outage protection:
Visiplex offers special power backup options to all its wireless paging products. Visiplex strongly recommends using a UPS power backup with the main paging controllers and the radio transmitters, to protect and maintain full operation during power outage situations. An optional internal
battery backup is offered with most of Visiplex wirelessly controlled devices such as speakers, strobe lights and sirens. Please call our Sales department with any questions or requests.
