The 11-85SE is a UHF or VHF low power paging transmitter with an in-built encoder. Buttons or
serial commands initiate transmissions to provide numeric, alpha-numeric and tone-only
POCSAG paging, enabling a user to call a pager (approximately 2,000,000 codes), append a
priority level (1 of 4), and add a numeric or alpha-numeric message.
In addition to the front panel buttons, there are four discrete inputs with unique reprogrammed
messages on low input transition. Messages can be transmitted more than once with
programmable time between transmissions.
The 11-85SE supports multiple message queuing, and will queue up to five 40 character
messages, or as many smaller messages that will fit into the memory buffer (up to 12).
Predefined action messages are limited to a maximum length of 40 characters which may be
configured using the Salcom programming software. ASCII character commands provide
control via the serial port.
‘Beep’ Indicator: Audible ‘beeps’ accompany each key-push and all successful transmissions.
There are different beeps for an ‘out of lock’ transmission failure and a distinctive beep for low
battery accompanies each transmission. Two beeps for a successful transmission, three for an
‘out of lock’ transmission failure and a dual high-low beep & flashing LED for a low battery (set
to approx 6.5V).
Aerial: The 11-85SE has a fixed external quarter wave helical aerial but in addition the 11-85-
0150 VHF Model has a variant with internal aerial, the 11-85-1150.
Note: The 11-85 should not be used for industrial machinery control where a fail-safe mode of
operation is essential. Contact Salcom for advice if this is a requirement.
