POCSAG compliant OEM Pager Modules

• Switching / Data Output via RS-232

We offer a range of pager modules for aplications that require remote switching or the reception of messages, telemetry data, control strings or other types of data, numeric or alphanumeric.

• Ultra Low Power Consumption

Our modules are ideal for applications that demand ultra low power consumption. The PDR12 typically draws 320 µA average in operational receive mode. Supply voltage is 3V3 to 14V.

• Broadcasting and group calling

Due to the POCSAG paging protocol it is possible to send a message to an infinite number of pagers simultaneously (broadcasting). A pager module can be configured to receive messages on up to 32 different addresses (subscriber telephone numbers) with one being a unique individual address and the others being part of groups and/or sub groups.

PDR12 Pager Module

The PDR12 is a high sensitivity OEM Decoder Module that can receive, decode and output paging messages via the built-in RS-232 serial port interface for further processing by the user equipment. Messages can contain numbers, text and special characters.
