Safety Summary
Important Safety Information
The Multitone i-Page IP133 Radio Paging Transcoder equipment, contains a
low power (5 Watts) radio transmitter and is intended for use with either an
externally mounted dipole antenna, or a “local” unity gain (or less) "desk-top"
whip antenna.
The equipment’s performance may be characterized in accordance with the recommended
MPE requirements of the European Council Directive 1999/519/EC on the limitation of
exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0Hz - 300GHz), as given in Annex
III, Table 2; the requirements of FCC 47CFR and Industry Canada Standard RSS102.
Where an installation is to be fitted with a "local" whip style antenna, the following criteria
must be adhered to, in order to reduce and comply with the Electro-magnetic radiation
absorption regulations.
NOTE: Any equipment and antenna that is installed within an area normally populated
whilst it is in use, must be located in a position where people may not approach, or be
located within 1m of the radiating antenna, for periods in excess of 5 mins. in any 1
hour. This distance is calculated to include an additional safety margin for the
product.

Installation Notes
WARNING
Do not install / use this equipment near sources of water,
moisture, or in areas where explosive gases may be
present! Do not expose to strong magnetic fields, extreme
temperatures or strong sunlight.
The equipment should be positioned so that there is no interference to the flow of air around
the unit and away from sources of heat. It should only be mounted to a wall, as
recommended in the installation instructions.
Care must be taken during installation to keep the power supply away from
excessive RF fields.
Where the transmitter power is to be greater than 2.5W, the antenna must be sited a
minimum of 1.5 metres away from the IP133 housing and power supply.
In cases where a close-coupled antenna must be used, the transmitter power must be
reduced to a maximum of 2.5W and care must be taken to position the antenna at least
0.5m from the power supply unit.
All installation wiring should be carried out in accordance with recognised Codes of Wiring
Practice, applicable to the equipment and circuits involved, e.g. Mains power, telephone
and/or radio. Power supply cords and other leads should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on, or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Particular attention should be paid to cord entrance and exit points.
Where installation involves an external radio aerial/antenna, the antenna should be located
away from power lines. Ensure that where applicable the antenna system is grounded, to
provide some protection against voltage surges and the build-up of static charges.
This equipment has been designed to conform to the relevant Radio and EMC performance
standards, but it may be necessary to take additional precautions during installation, to
ensure continued compliance.
Use only cables supplied, or suitably rated power cables and screened signaling cable.
Where quoted, do not exceed specified cable lengths and keep cable runs to a minimum,
especially on the outside of buildings.
Do not unnecessarily route wiring alongside cables from or through areas that are a source
of interference e.g. heavy plant and switch rooms, RF transmitter housings, without taking
suitable precautions to reduce EM interference coupling.
Where necessary, use additional protection e.g. armoured trunking, surge arrestors,
especially on the outside of buildings.
Where any interference problems are observed, it may be required to fit additional filtering
components such as ferrite absorbers, or in-line filters. If such action proves to be necessary,
contact either Multitone or their authorised agents.
Connection of Power Supplies
Use only power sources specified, or supplied by Multitone. The use of another device will
invalidate any declared conformity for this equipment, if as a result it ceases to conform to
those standards on which conformity is based.
The equipment should only be connected to a power supply as described in the operating
instructions, as marked on the equipment, or supplied by Multitone. Do not overload outlets
and extension cords, as this can result in fire, or electrical shock.
Where equipment has been provided with a three-wire grounding type plug, this plug will only
fit a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature and should not be defeated. If you
are unable to use a grounding outlet, contact your electrician.
Where equipment has been has been provided with a polarised line plug (one blade wider
than the other - US/Canada), this plug will only fit a power outlet one way. This is a safety
feature and should not be defeated. If you are unable to insert the plug fully, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Servicing
This equipment contains non user-serviceable parts. All repairs to be undertaken by qualified
service personnel. In the case of a problem, please contact your service
representative/agent.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the equipment is connected
and operated and retained for future reference. All warnings marked on the equipment
should be strictly adhered to. No attempt should be made to remove any designated safety
covers, as these areas contain voltages of a sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to personnel.

In the event that an administrator or user has not logged out, any other user logging in will
override the person already logged in.
This ensures that access to the paging systems is always available.
8.0 SYSLOG message tracking
If you require confirmation that the message has been sent, then you can use any one of the
freeware Syslog software packages available on the internet.
The software must be installed on a computer, preferably one that has a static IP address.
Programme the IP address of the Syslog server in the IP SETTINGS menu.
9.0 Transmitter alignment
The i-Page transmitter is factory set, according to the frequency requested when ordered. It
may be necessary to re-align the transmitter in the event of any problems or to change the
frequency.
This work must not be carried out by the user.
Please contact your supplier or maintainer, for advice or support.
Refer to Multitone document 9261-8252.

Field software update
The software involves a boot loader which can accept new software.
Turn the power off, wait for 10 seconds whilst the green power lamp extinguishes, depress
the button then repower the unit maintaining the button press for a few seconds. Release the
button. The green power lamp will come on, but if the ethernet cable is connected, the
ethernet LEDs will remain off. The serial port will now be available for input of a new i-Page
software issue.
Use the LM programme software to upload a new image. Connect a null modem cable
between i-Page and the computer, browse to the i-Page binary firmware file, select and
press PROGRAM.
Do not interrupt whilst the programme is being loaded and has reset i-Page, as this may
cause an irrecoverable error.
To resume normal operation after the upload, the ethernet LEDs must be flashing. If the
ethernet is not in use, then it may be advisable to repower the unit.
Check that i-Page is operating correctly and that a paging message may be sent.

Appendix 1
DLC Alarm and Serial Port Technical Requirements
DLC alarm contacts
i-Page provides up to 14 alarm contacts. The cable is not supplied with i-Page and may be
ordered separately under part number 7761-8831.
The cable must be terminated in accordance with this guide.
Any damage to i-Page or customer equipment resulting from connection to high voltages is
not the responsibility of Multitone Electronics.
DLC’s are inputs only and intended for “dry” switch contacts, (no current), or simple logic
signal ports. Ideally any logic signal inputs should not exceed 3.3V.
Serial port data input
The following protocols are supported on i-Page:TAP MEP (Multitone protocol), ESPA 4.4.4, AUSTCO Nursecall protocol, and MSP / Morley
fires protocol.
If any other protocols are used, contact Multitone for advice and support.
We can offer a field configurable protocol converter for the majority of applications, to
convert any serial data stream into TAP or MEP protocols.
Use a standard serial Null modem cable with 9-way female connectors at each end;
Multitone part number 7718-0030.
