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.

To activate the transmitter’s Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch from OFF to its ON position.
Tilt Sensor Pre-Alert
When the Man-Down Transmitter is tilted by more than 600 from its normal (vertical) position a pre-alert state will exist for 15 seconds before the unit transmits a Man-Down Alert. This time period enables the user to return the transmitter to its original vertical upright position or press the Temporary Tilt-Off push-button (located top edge of the transmitter) to prevent an unintentional false alert to be transmitted. During this period the transmitter emits an audible beep and the LED indicator flashes once every 2 seconds.
If the Man-Down Transmitter is laid down, while its Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch is in the OFF position, when the device is returned to normal (vertical) position the device will emit 3 beeps to remind the user to reactivate the Tilt Sensor.
If the Man-Down Transmitter is laid down, while its Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch is in the ON position, when the device is returned to normal (vertical) position the device will emit 2 beeps indicating that fall detection is enabled.
Temp Tilt-Off Push-Button
The Temp Tilt-Off Button (located on the top edge of the transmitter) is used to temporarily disable the unit’s Man-Down Alert functionality for 10 seconds. When removing the transmitter, press Temp Tilt-Off Push-Button prior to putting down the unit. When the unit is returned to a vertical position, fall detection will be enabled and the device will emit 2 beeps.
