User's Manual

Preface
Equipment Applications
It is the user’s responsibility to determine the suitability of the Scope products for any given
application. Scope or any of its subsidiaries or Distributors, cannot provide specific advice within
this manual, as each application will require independent evaluation. Common sense dictates
that certain applications may require back up systems in place to cover in the event of mains or
equipment failure and all applications should be thoroughly assed by the installer in conjunction
with the customer so as to minimize risk. The following information, however, may be of benefit.
Scope has no control of the use and application of the frequencies issued by the FCC. Some
equipment that is individually licensed may have a greater degree of protection than other
equipment that is operated on a FCC dockside frequency.
Equipment Testing.
Range tests should be carried out at least once a week on portable radio equipment, more often
when critical criteria apply. They should involve testing the unit past the limit of its required
working range. Good working practice dictates that a suitable system installation log, covering
both portable and fixed equipment must be generated, together with a record of the dates when
the system has been manually checked and/or serviced, (with the aid of suitable test equipment
etc.) enabling the system performance to be compared with the original installation data.
The frequency of the tests required will vary between applications. If portable equipment has
been dropped or is worn by a person involved in an accident, the unit should be tested again
before re-use. It must be stressed that the physical range tests are essential and any
construction work or movement of plant or equipment could alter the signaling capability of the
unit. Radio equipment like any other requires servicing from time to time to ensure that it is
operating to its optimum performance. It is essential that equipment should be inspected and
tested by authorized service centers at least once a year.
