Introduction

The Elpas Man-Down Emergency Call Transmitter is a holster worn

Active RFID Tag that delivers wireless monitoring and tracking of lone

workers, correctional guards and security personal that may be subject to

attack or injury in high-risk workplace environments.

The transmitter continuously transmits real-time location based security

data which is received and relayed over the Elpas infrastructure to a host

RTLS application or to an integrated 3rd party security platform for

triggering appropriate response protocols.

The transmitter includes two emergency call buttons for manual wireless

duress alerting when the user perceives a personal threat. Additional

features such as an onboard tilt switch and pull cord enable automatic

alerting when the protected staff member is knocked down or if the unit is

grabbed from the protected worker by force. When combined with the on

board low frequency receiver the transmitter delivers precise positioning

data that identifies the individual in trouble and the location of the

evolving security incident.

Man-Down Emergency Call Transmitter

It is important that you understand, and follow the instructions

in this document. Should you have any questions, please

contact your local support representative before proceeding with

the installation, operation or maintenance of these products.

Alert Types

The Man-Down Emergency Call Transmitter will transmit

alert messages should the following events occur:

Manual Duress Call

Pressing the left and the right emergency call push buttons

simultaneously will trigger the transmitter to emit a manual

duress alert.

Man-Down

A built-in tilt sensor will cause the unit to transmit an

automated Man-Down Alert when the unit is tilted by more

than 60 degrees should the user be knocked down or falls

to the ground. (See page 2 for further details.)

Pull Cord Detachment

The pull cord is attached to the

user’s clothes and is connected

to the transmitter by a

detachable plastic pin.

Grabbing the transmitter from the

user by force will cause the

plastic pin to detach from the

device triggering an automated

Duress Alert.

Alert Test

Pressing either the left or right emergency call push-button,

individually will trigger the transmitter to emit a Test Alert

for confirming that the unit is functioning properly.

Initial Activation

The Man-Down Transmitter is shipped from the factory,

with the internal battery contact (+) covered by an isolation

foil to conserve battery power during shipping.

inscription located on the top edge of the transmitter.

Pull out the isolation foil that is

that control the transmitter’s

Feedback Beep Sounds as required.
