Standard Features
Emergency Button.
Useful as a personal attack alarm, each lone worker is equipped with a radio personal attack alarm transmitter clipped on to a belt. It has a red emergency button on top which the lone worker can press to send a radio alarm signal to the monitoring receiver. Once the emergency button is pressed, a location sounder is activated and a repeat alarm transmission sent until both reset buttons on the unit are pressed together.
Motion Detector.
For situations when the lone worker is incapacitated due to illness or injury, the radio personal attack alarm transmitter senses the lack of movement and responds accordingly. As soon as the radio personal attack alarm transmitter is removed from its charger, monitoring of the worker commences. Lack of movement for one minute (variable to suit different working environments) starts an alert bleep lasting for up to 15 seconds (variable). If the lone worker fails to acknowledge the alert by tapping the unit or pressing the pause button, a radio alarm transmission is sent and the location sounder activated.
Pause Function.
The motion detector works very well for people performing fairly active manual tasks, however, many jobs now involve periods of static computer-based work. To cope with both situations in a single unit, we have developed a pause function which temporarily disables the motion detector for a preset time, say 15 minutes. This allows the worker to complete their 'static' task without being interrupted by the alert bleep. The pause function may be cancelled manually by pressing the button a second time or automatically when either the unit senses an increased rate of activity or when the pause period has elapsed. Other combinations of tilt sensors and motion detectors are available for special requirements.
Recharging the transmitter.
When the radio personal attack alarm transmitter is not in use, it is kept in a drop-in fast charger. This disables the motion detector and recharges the transmitter's NiMH battery in under 2.5 hours before switching to a trickle charge, keeping the battery topped up and ready for use.
Automatic Fault Monitoring.
The transmitter can also be programmed to automatically send regular test calls which include the transmitter's battery status. Low battery and missed test call faults are displayed on the monitoring receiver. This continuous monitoring of the transmitter enables operational faults due to damage or component failure to be quickly detected when the system is in use.
