SECTION 11. TESTING FOR NETWORK COVERAGE
Check the Coverage Map
CAT can provide a printed or electronic copy of the Reflex coverage map in
your state. Please contact the POOLCOMM Program Administrator.
Check the Web Site
Visit the Sky-Tel web site and enter the exact address of the facility to be
monitored. The web site will pin point that address on a custom coverage map.
Start by entering www.skytel.com into your web browser. Next select
Telemetry then Coverage and enter the address to check, select locate. The CAT
400 requires full service (Shown as Yellow) to send and receive data.

Test with a Portable Reflex Device
The Reflex network can be tested with any number of portable 2-way messaging
devices, such as: Skywriter, Blackberry, or and 2-way pager. To learn more or
to purchase one of these devices visit www.skytel.com. Portable 2-way devices
operate at about half the broadcast power output of the CAT 4000. Therefore, if
you portable device has full service the CAT 4000 will definitely work well in
that location. However, the CAT 4000 will communicate in locations a portable
does not.
Test w/ a CAT 4000
The best way to check for Reflex coverage at a facility is to test with an actual
CAT 4000. The Transmit data button has been provided specifically for this
purpose. Place the CAT 4000 unit where you expect to install it and press the
transmit data button. Within 2 minutes a service request alarm will be generated.
This alarm will show up at the POOLCOMM web site, and can also be directed
to your cell phone or portable 2-way device. Make sure your email address has
been entered under Notifications and that address box is checked on the unit
management page.
Secondary Carrier
If you find your client location does not have Skytel coverage contact the
POOLCOMM Program Manager for secondary carrier availability.
