seconds of no motion, TPASS
Pre-Alert sound and the alternating yellow LED display
is interrupted by the pulsing of two red LEDs. The PreAlert sound progressively becomes louder, indicating
TPASS®3-R is closer to going into Alarm.

For TPASS®3 with Alarm Monitoring
The Alarm Monitoring feature allows personnel to
monitor the status of other personnel working in the
same general area, when they are equipped with
Grace Telemetry products. TPASS®3-AM MUST be in
the Sensing Mode to receive Alarm signals from other
Grace Telemetry products. When one telemetry unit
goes into “Alarm” and an Alarm Monitoring TPASS
receives the signal, the receiving TP3-AM will sound a
rapid ringing tone and provide a visual indication with
a fl ashing yellow LED at the base of the antenna. The
Alarm Monitoring display may be momentarily silenced
for one minute by pressing both side buttons simultaneously. Other units which go into alarm during the
one minute period will reactivate the Alarm Monitoring
audio sound signature and display. After one minute
if the original unit is still in alarm, the alarm monitoring feature and display will be reactivated. This cycle
will continue until the telemetry unit in Alarm is reset or
shut off. TPASS
®
3-AM has an orange case.
Limitations
To reduce risk of serious injury or loss of life,
ensure TPASS®3-R is fully operational by testing and
inspecting the unit prior to use. Use of a TPASS®3-R
maintenance and training program including
recharging exhausted or low batteries is required
for safe and proper use.
After charging battery, always test TPASS
MX900 to ensure proper operation.
If proper operation of TPASS
®
3-R is questionable,
remove unit from service and contact Grace Industries
for assistance.
