During an emergency, a person presses and holds the alarm button to produce an alarm. Generally the system sounders, strobes, or sirens activate within two seconds.

The alarm signal transmits to the receivers which relay the alarm signal to the transponder and to the central console.

The central console shows the person's location on a map, along with a photograph, name, and vital information such as a medical condition or disability.

Functions | Manual Duress Alarm

Press the large button on the transmitter to send an alarm. During the alarm, the transmitter automatically continues to transmit every seven seconds, providing the most current location information.

Man-down Alarm

If the transmitter is tipped 60° from upright, it sends an alarm to the central console.

Supervision

The transmitter can send a tracking signal to the central console every 90 seconds, updating the person's location.

Note

The number of 90 second transmitters is limited to the number of receivers for each transponder bus.

Test Mode

Use the test mode to test the transmitter anywhere in the protected area. When the user (subscriber) sees an indoor receiver or an outdoor strobe, the user can press the manual test button to perform a test. A small green light flashes on an indoor receiver or the strobe flashes during a successful test. The visual indicators (flashing green light or strobe light) are absent when the test fails.

The central console software saves the successful tests in the subscriber (user) database. The information can be printed on an optional printer.

Low Battery Indication

When the transmitter's battery needs replacing, the test signal includes a low battery message to the central console. The central console software records the low battery messages in the subscriber (user) database. The information can be printed on an optional printer.

Database

The subscriber (user) database contains user information, including the date and time of the most recent transmitter test. You can search the subscriber (user) database to find people who neglected to test their transmitters within a specified time period.
