A P2000 pager is a portable alarm receiver (fire alarm beeper) for messages sent via the digital P2000 system. This system is used by the Dutch emergency services (fire brigade, ambulance, trauma helicopter and KNRM). In response to an alarm, a pager (read: pager) gives an audio signal and a message appears on the screen. P2000 is a digital system that replaced the old analog system. Unlike T2000, the system is not encrypted, so messages can be received and read by anyone.

How does a P2000 alarm receiver work?

The P2000 pager responds when it receives a message with the capcode programmed in memory. A capcode is roughly similar to a telephone number and identifies the intended recipient. However, the difference is that there can be multiple receivers. The design of the system is that the necessary units or persons can be alerted without too many people being called. 

Where can I find capcodes?

On the website https://112alarm.net/capcodes.php you can enter your city name. You will then receive an overview of frequently used capcodes. It is possible to program these capcodes in your alarm receiver. Please check this website before purchasing an alarm receiver. In many regions, the police and ambulance service do not use the P2000 network.

Is it forbidden to have a P2000 alarm receiver?

No, it is not forbidden to have an alarm receiver. When you look at a report, it is very important that you respect the privacy of victims and that you do not get in the way of the emergency services. If they ask if you want to leave, do it immediately.

Galaxy alarm receiver

The emergency services almost all use a Galaxy or Precom alarm receiver. These two alarm receivers are reserved for emergency services and are not sold to private individuals. The Dutch importer (www.p2000shop.nl) strictly controls this, so unfortunately we cannot sell it. You will see one on our website Galaxy alarm receiver. It is not suitable for P2000 but for local calling systems that we sell. Think of one paging system for a logistics company, museum, or company fire brigade.

Programming set

With a programming set you can often adjust additional functionalities in the alarm receiver. Think of sounds, text labels, menu functions or the color of the screen. Extensive computer knowledge is required to use a programming set. It is not possible for us to provide extensive support with these products.

How would P2000 sound like an old-fashioned scanner?

If you put an old-fashioned scanner at the frequency of P2000, you will hear the sound in this YouTube video. With a P2000 alarm receiver you can convert these weird sounds into text messages. If there is a message with the capcode in your alarm receiver, it will go off!
