Quick Response System
Repeater
A Repeater is a device that receives the signals from Quick Response transmitter and
communicates them to the Receiver. This enables the system to cover larger
facilities. Repeaters are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Repeater and if
the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the
Event List at the computer.
Locator
Locators receive signals from Quick Response transmitters, add location data, and
communicates the signals to the receiver. When an event occurs, the map of your
facility will indicate the Locator that received the signal from the alarming device.
Locators are supervised; a routine signal is sent from each Locator and if the signal is
not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in the Event List at the

Paging Base
The Paging Base (optional) sends radio frequency signals to the pager receiver(s)
when events occur. The pager receiver indicates the name, room number, and event
type of the transmitter that issued the alarm.
Back-Up Interface
The Back-up Interface is an optional device that takes over the responsibility of
communicating with the paging base and provides alarm information (transmitter
number only) in the event of an inoperable computer.
