CAUTION! Reasonable effort was made to ensure that the specifications and other information in this guide are accurate and complete at the time of its

Product Description

The Elpas Shield is a personal duress button device with optional pull cord and fall

detection capabilities. Elpas Shield is designed for real-time monitoring and tracking of

staff members and visitors, both indoors and outdoors. The LoneWorker Fall Detect

Transmitter is designed both for seniors in assisted living facilities or work place staff

members that may be subject to attack or injury in high-risk environments.

Alarms can be triggered either by squeezing the two side buttons. In the Fall Detect

version, when worn on a belt, a short rip cord may be attached to a belt loop so that

an alarm is transmitted when the device is pulled off the belt.

Note: Users can also wear the Shield as a pendant using a lanyard. If you choose to do so, make

sure you use a lanyard for which, the force required to unlatch the tether switch is less than the

force required to open the clasp.

The pull mechanism is particularly useful for seniors with arthritis who have difficulties

pressing buttons.

The LoneWorker Fall Detect Transmitter also detects falls and alarms when tilted

horizontally. To prevent false alarms, the device indicates a pre-alarm by giving the

wearer a chance to cancel the alarm before it is transmitted by pressing on the front

cancel button.

(Actual product may vary from photo)

Button press or pull cord (pull cord is present only in Fall detect version) should be

used as the primary means of calling for help even after a fall. The fall detection is

meant to alert in the event that the victim falls unconscious and may not trigger if not

sufficiently horizontal.

Elpas Shield based help call systems may be monitored by Elpas ELC controllers

and/or by Eiris Software which also receives alerts, through Eiris Cloud, from the

LoneWorker application that connects to Elpas Shield through Bluetooth, outdoors.

Elpas Low Frequency Beacons may be used to provide room level indoor location.

Outputs on all Elpas network devices may be used to drive sirens, strobe lights or PA

systems. Alerts may be sent to various handheld devices such as DECT handsets

using Eiris DECT interfaces or to IOS or Android smartphones using EirisGo apps.

Calls may be cleared by exposing Elpas Shield to a responder’s handheld LF beacon

requiring that staff arrive at the location of the caller.

The same Elpas infrastructure used for the duress solution may also be leveraged for

Access control, Asset tracking, Attendance and intrusion alarming making Elpas one

of the most competitive comprehensive solutions available today.
