A pager is a paging receiver. It is designed to allow you to receive small text messages using the paging network. The first pager model was released in 1956 by Motorolla. He immediately gained popularity among couriers, taxi drivers, nurses, in other words, among those people who, on duty, should always be in touch.
What is a pager and what is its history
The most popular pagers were in our country in the nineties. But due to the universal availability and spread of mobile phones, these devices have lost demand and practically disappeared from the lives of citizens.
However, the meaning of the word "pager" is not forgotten even today, and you can use it in Moscow - just use the services provided by paging companies that are still on the market today. Vessolink, which provides services in Moscow and the region, can serve as an example.
How a classic pager works
To send a message, you need to call the operator, call the subscriber's number and dictate a text message. It is possible to notify several subscribers at once whengroup transfer. With a modern pager, you can send messages to a mobile phone or e-mail. If desired, you can organize a hotline or receive notifications from different points. In general, even today there are extensive opportunities for using a pager.
Where are these devices used today?
There is the possibility of using this device in different situations. In addition, a pager is a gadget whose price is much lower than the cost of a mobile phone. Outwardly, it looks like a rectangular parallelepiped with a pair of buttons. It will be easy for everyone to learn how to manage it. Due to the fact that pagers have long gone out of fashion, it is possible to purchase them through private listings or paging network operators.
What other uses are known
In addition, today the meaning of the word "pager" is somewhat expanded and suggests various functions.
So, certain models of devices are used in alarm systems. For example, a GSM pager functions in such a way that when the alarm is turned on, a small text message is sent to it. This is convenient as it gives time to take action to prevent theft or to keep the contents in a safe.
The pager's small size and convenience make it a practical electronic device. It is resistant to shock and mechanical stress. Using the pager in accordance with the instructions guarantees a long service life.
Paging alarm forvehicle
With all the complexity of modern car alarms, only the siren is the most effective factor against the hijacker. Many manufacturers can offer devices that greatly extend this spectrum. To do this, you need to understand what a car alarm pager is.
Central locking allows you to simultaneously lock (unlock) all the doors in the car. In some models, control is carried out from any front door. It is also possible to control by alarm and external signals "close" and "open". The kit for installing the central lock consists of 2 or 4 electronic actuators with mounting parts and a control unit. They are installed inside, in the door cavity.
These mechanisms reciprocate the rods that transmit the movement to the parts of the door lock. Electrical signals are generated by the control unit and drive the actuators. The block has inputs to which the corresponding alarm circuits are connected.
The optional hood lock is a useful accessory. After opening the hood, the car thief has access to most of the important components of the car and the alarm. By turning off the siren, he can quickly remove the alarm and blocking knots. If an additional lock is installed for the hood, which opens with a key, and not just with a lever from the passenger compartment, then the actions for opening it by a thief will become very difficult. Among other things, this lock has an electrical circuit that breaks the ignition.
Power windows are electric drives that are used to lower and raise the windows in the car doors. The windows are controlled by buttons located in the cabin in a convenient place. You can both lower and raise the windows together or separately.
Pager as part of a car alarm
It is possible to remotely control the alarm when a signal is applied to a separate input. Window lifters are of two types. For external installation, on the surface of the security card on the door, and for installation inside, in the door cavity. Preference should be given to one or another of them, taking into account the tastes of the owner and the design of the doors. Most often, the least laborious installation is the installation of power windows from the outside.
In a car alarm system, a pager is a small receiver, the size of half a cigarette pack, that the car owner always carries with him. While using the device, a transmitter is connected to the alarm, which is activated when it is triggered.
The radio signals from the transmitter are picked up by the receiver, and if the code of it and the transmitter matches, the pager will beep.
Signals-pagers - which one is better?
Working distance in urban environment - from 300 meters to 1 kilometer. Certain manufacturers list ranges up to 5 kilometers, but this range applies to the desert. The pagers tested by experts functioned in two ranges - 27 megahertz and 300 megahertz. The transmitter power was 1.5W and 0.5W.
Enforser Cop Bandgave a greater working distance, but at the same time had requirements for installing antennas. The other Road Star group had more reliable but more modest stats.
Pagers from the Secopage-35 model range not only record the alarm, but also determine its cause by the color of the indication (opening the hood, doors, shock sensor).
When using the pager, it is important to turn the receiver off and on regularly due to the rapid draining of the batteries. The pager in the on state as a source of radio waves can interfere with some types of alarms. It is difficult to turn off the alarm using the key fob when it is triggered and the pager is turned on. Thus, the best alarms with a pager can be of various models.
For fishing
Fans of the bottom fishing method go to various tricks to see the bite in a timely manner. After the appearance of the feeder, it became easier - now, with any touch of the fish to the bait, the bite is visible on the top of the rod. The difficulty is that the fisherman does not spend all the time near the fishing rod. An assistant in this case will be an electric signaling device for biting. With a light or sound signal, he will inform the angler that the bait has already been swallowed by the fish. Nowadays, it is possible to purchase a set of signaling devices with a pager of various types. What is a fishing pager should be considered separately.
Choosing the best pager for fishing
All signaling devices work on the principle of perceiving the twitch of the fishing line. When purchasing a signaling device inas additional amenities may be the presence of a pager. It serves for sound signaling and for remote control of biting. Thus, a fishing pager is a gadget that allows you to determine the presence of a bite from a distance. Completing your alarm device with a pager provides many advantages. For example, when there are several tackles and you need to quickly determine which of several fishing rods is biting. With the help of a pager, the right fishing rod and the nature of the pull are accurately determined. While setting up the line movement signal from one bank to another, you can determine what is happening under water.
Pagers are available in two types:
- Wired.
- Wireless.
Sometimes electrical signaling devices are wired to a pager. Paging will be the best solution. The radius of its action, depending on the company, can be up to 200 meters. Thanks to this opportunity, the fisherman, without missing a bite, can move away, cook food, light a fire, and so on. The pager (photos are presented to see in this article) is configured simultaneously with the signaling device. If desired, you can lower the volume on the alarm and set the desired volume on the pager. The best choice would be models with a charging indicator for timely detection of lack of energy. It is very convenient to purchase sets of signaling devices for a couple of pieces complete with a pager. You can buy such a device both in specialized retail outlets and in various online stores.
