Example configurationConstruction
A delivery driver does not have to look for the site manager
A call point at the construction site gate: a battery button for the driver, pagers for the site manager and the storekeeper, and a lamp on the site office container — a set that moves on to the next site.

01 / Investment context
What problem does this configuration solve?
The construction site has one entrance gate, and the site manager’s office container stands 150 m further in. Deliveries arrive during the day, often from carriers who are here for the first time. The driver stops at a closed gate and does not know whom to call.
That leaves two options: phone the site manager, whose number the driver usually does not have, or walk onto the site and look for the manager among machines and scaffolding. The first delays unloading, the second is dangerous — someone without a safety briefing, and often without protective equipment, is walking around the site. The site manager, in turn, may be on an upper storey or at the far end of the site and cannot see that someone is waiting at the gate.
The investor’s goal: The driver calls for staff with one button and waits at the gate; the site manager or storekeeper knows about the delivery at once, wherever they are on site.
How does this configuration work?
At the gate, under a small canopy, hangs a sealed battery button (PNH-201) with a sign: “Delivery — press and wait”. Its radio signal is received at the same time by the pagers of the site manager and the storekeeper (OBI-4SH) — so they learn about the delivery even at the far end of the site — and by a lamp on the container wall (BSO-2H2), visible to people in and around the site office.
The lamp stays on until someone takes the delivery: the site manager or the storekeeper switches it off with their remote (PUK-101) on the way to the gate, so everyone can see that someone is already dealing with it. The lamp is powered by a mains power supply (SPR-ZS1) inside the container; the button and remotes run on batteries, and the pagers are charged in the container.
A distance of 150 m is within the button’s open-field range, but a building in its shell stage dampens the signal. If the range test shows that the call does not reliably reach the pagers on the upper storeys, a repeater (RTS-1000) on the container carries it. When the job is finished, the button, lamp and power supply are taken down and moved to the next site.
02 / Operating principle
From signal to action.
A button at the gate calls the site manager and the storekeeper on their pagers and lights a lamp on the container 150 m away.

The driver waits at the gate instead of walking the site. The lamp stays on until the site manager or the storekeeper switches it off with a remote — everyone can see someone is dealing with the delivery.

Devices in this configuration
An example selection — the number of devices depends on the site.
OBI-4SH
Pager for the site manager and the storekeeper: the call from the gate reaches them wherever they are. Charged by USB or wirelessly.
Quantity: 2
BSO-2H2
Signal lamp on the container wall, H2 module: the gate button switches it on, the site manager’s or storekeeper’s remote switches it off.
Quantity: 1
PUK-101
One-button remote for the site manager and the storekeeper: switches off the lamp on the container when someone goes to the gate for the delivery.
Quantity: 2
SPR-ZS1
A 230 V AC power supply inside the container: it powers the lamp on the container wall and, if needed, the repeater as well.
Quantity: 1
RTS-1000
Repeater on the container if the range test calls for it — it carries the call from the gate to the pagers inside the building.
Quantity: optional

04 / Value for the investor
What does this solution give you?
The driver stays off the site
The driver waits at the gate until someone comes, so no one without a safety briefing and protective equipment appears on site.
Shorter wait for unloading
The site manager or storekeeper knows about the delivery at once, even from the far end of the site, not only when the driver finds someone.
On to the next site
The button, lamp, power supply and pagers move with the company to the next project — no cables left behind on site.
05 / Before installation
What needs to be settled for a similar investment?
Before devices are chosen, what matters is the site’s conditions and how the system ties into the final installation.
Requirements to verify
- The button is rated IP44 and works at temperatures from −10 to +55 °C: at the gate it is mounted under a canopy, and in frost below −10 °C it operates outside its specification.
- A range test from the gate to the container and to where the site manager works inside the building — the repeater depends on its result.
- 230 V power in the container, a spot for the lamp that is visible from the site and sheltered from rain, and a place to charge the pagers.
- The button does not confirm to the driver that someone has received the call — the sign should give the site’s phone number in case nobody responds.
- Who carries the pagers on each shift, and who switches the lamp off once the delivery has been taken.
