LONE WORKER SOLUTION - A practical Health and Safety Solution

The unit is supplied complete with desk top charger; power supply and belt carry case.

Multiple signaling capability offers the user four discrete functions:

  1. TOP SIDE BUTTON – "ASSIST"
  2. BOTTOM SIDE BUTTON - "CANCEL"
  3. BOTH SIDE BUTTONS - "ALARM"
  4. LANYARD REMOVAL - "DURESS"

Nominal range (subject to topography) 1Km.

Typical battery life between charges; >1 week

Using a minimal configuration, the unit can be deployed with a single matched pager that will alert a colleague to an alarm situation. A further enhancement is the inclusion of a fixed receiver with audio/visual alarm outputs together with an optional auto-dial modem for off site signaling to a land line or mobile phone.

Modes of operation:

The transmitter has 3 manual call types, and 2 automatic alarms. The first automatic function consists of a captive pin that when withdrawn sends a "DURESS" message to the pager's). The second automatic function will send a "DURESS" message when the wearers movement has ceased for more than 20 seconds. Whilst the manual button initiated alarms are always active, both the captive pin and the movement detector functions can be enabled or disabled.

The LCD display will indicate which mode is active at any time. The mode can be changed by using the increment, decrement programming keys on the top of the transmitter. The keys must be pressed and held for a number of seconds between each change, this is to prevent accidentally changing the active mode.

Mode 1 – Manual alarms only:

The top side button will send an "ASSIST" message to the pager together with slow audible beep. The lower side button sends a "CANCEL" message to the pager together with a double audible beep. Pressing both buttons together and holding them for the trigger period will send an "ALARM" message to the pager together with a triple audible beep.

Mode 2 – Manual alarms and active detachable pin:

The pin in the base of the unit is for connection to a lanyard attached to the wearer. If the transmitter is pulled away from the wearer, an automatic transmission is initiated that sends a "DURESS" message to the pager together with a rapid audible beep. These transmissions will be repeated every 3 seconds until the pin is replaced.

Mode 3 – all alarms active:

This mode enables all functions, manual alarms, captive pin and movement detector. The movement detector has two time periods over which any movement detected will reset the timers. If the unit detects no movement for 20 seconds it will pulse a sounder for 10 seconds as a warning before transmitting a "DURESS" message. Any movement detected during these warning periods will reset the timers.
