Introduction

This User Guide provides basic instructions for the successful usage of the Lone Worker Transmitter.

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 Lone Worker Transmitter is a personal duress button device with optional

pull cord and fall detection capabilities. The LWT is designed for real-time monitoring

and tracking of staff members and visitors. 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 may 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 LoneWorker Transmitter 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 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.

LWT based help call systems may be monitored by Elpas ELC controllers and/or by

Eiris Software. Elpas Low Frequency Beacons or IR readers 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 the LWT 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.
