and personal alarm unit

ASCOM a71 DESIGNED TO SUPPORT

AND PROTECT PEOPLE EXPOSED
TO VULNERABLE OR THREATENING
SITUATIONS IN THEIR WORK

The Ascom a71 is available with two different

alarm settings. The basic version features a push-

button alarm and a pull-cord alarm.

Reliable messaging

Messages are presented in plain text on a large backlit LCD display, which

means they can be read even in the dark. Because it’s possible to acknow-

ledge a message, you will know your message has been received. When

you’re out of reach, the system will notify the person looking for you. The

moment you put your alarm unit in the rack charger, the system will be

notifi ed that your are absent.

Prioritised messages

High priority messages can be programmed to be sent to the front of the

messaging queue, interrupting any ongoing messages. That way you can

be sure important messages reach their destination immediately.

Messages from machine to man

Both Ascom a71 versions can be programmed to receive vital information

from fi xed systems, such as machines, building automation systems and

alarm systems. It’s also possible to acknowledge any information received.

Help is just a button-push away

You can pre-program different security alarms for different situations. In an

emergency, just press the alarm button. Or if the unit is taken from you by

force, an alarm will automatically be sent. Your position is located with excel-

lent accuracy, and back-up dispatched to your assistance without delay.

Man-down/No-movement alarm with pre-warning signal

An alarm is automatically sent if the user is in a horizontal position or

immobile for a pre-defi ned period of time.

A blink, vibration or beep signal will sound before the alarm is sent in

case the alarm was triggered accidentally, thereby eliminating false alarms.

IR & LF positioning in the same unit

Thanks to the IR & LF positioning features, the alarm can be used both

indoors and outdoors. Select the positioning system that best suits your

environment.

Convenient and smart

One of the most prominent features of the Ascom a71 is its size. The

messaging unit is large enough to display messages clearly and small

enough to be easy to carry. Thanks to a built-in antenna, users won’t have

to worry about it getting stuck in their clothes. Should the unit get stuck

all the same, a clip release function ensures it doesn’t break.

The Ascom a71 is available in two colours. Perfect if, for example, you

want to tell different users apart. The unit is also equipped with an ID label

for quick identifi cation.

ATEX version

The Ascom a71 is also available in an ATEX version – approved for use in

potentially explosive environments.
