I am in a bunk in program in NY, my house mate has an old fire alarm bell that we would like to hook up to a Digital pager. Any ideas how this can be done, or how we could possibly tap into the MDT or firehouse bell system? our house is about 30 feet away from the firehouse.

In order to hook up your Whacker Alert 2000 I believe you will need a new flux capacitor which can be purchased at your local Radio Shack. Make sure you get the polarized thinga ma bob with the doo hickey adapter
If you had said you want to hook this up in your STATION, I wouldn't have known how to answer that seriously anyway. I'll leave that to nmfire. From what I've read before, he is the radio guruTom

Digital as in alpha-numeric?
Google "Pocsag Decoder" and engage in a modest learning experience about electronics. It'll bring you to sites like http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~Sbarnes/pocsag/pocsag.html
which let you decode the most commonly used paging system onto your computer.
You don't need to be guru, but it's not a project for the electronically faint of heart of solder challenged among us.
That and someone who knows C++ and maybe some more hardware you can get a 'puter to set off the alarm. Somebody whose really good on the electronics could probably implement it all hardware
If it's a voice pager and has an ear-phone plug, research "latching relay circuits" Many, many years ago built one of those for my Minitor II when I was sleeping through calls during college...triggered a very loud, battery powered Piezo. Which was at the end of 15' long wire hidden in odd spots in my room so I'd have to get up and find it to reset it.

The MDT is (hopefully) encrypted so you're not going to get that without official permission.
And if you have to ask how to tap the fire station's bell system...DON'T.Last edited by Dalmatian190; 01-25-2007, 02:51 PM.

Tapping into the firehouse's alert system is a guarantee of three hots and a cot.. in the county jail."The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."

Motorola Minitor Pager Alerting Module Fire Alarm Bell
Perfect for the firehouse, or Buffy Volunteer Fireman and Ambulance personnel.
Problems waking up for those night calls? Can't hear the pager over the loud music or TV?
Can't hear the pager go off because someone turned it down, or because you are in another room? Hook this "Alerting Module" up to your pager and your problems are solved. The "Alerting Module" provides reliable audiable warning that can be heard from a distance.
This new aftermarket "Alerting Module" connects to any Motorola Minitor II, III, IV, or V amplified pager charger with the 6 pin "DIN" accessory connector on the back (Circular connector see pic below).
When pager is alerted, the "Alerting Module" powers up the 6" Fire Alarm Bell for anywhere between 1 and 60 seconds. (you adjust time) After the "Alerting Module" times out, it will automatically reset and will be ready for the next alarm.
