Safelink allows two Impact Pro portable
multigas monitors to be connected together
such that the gas readings and instrument
status from one are repeated on the other.
This allows a co-worker in a confined space
to be monitored remotely as well as providing
a simple means to pass messages back and
forth. ‘Emergency assistance’ – can easily
be called by pressing and holding any
button so that help is never far away.
Safelink
Safelink is designed to simplify compliance with
confined space entry regulations and working
practices. Generally, two people are required to
carry out confined space entry procedures correctly.
One, the ‘Attendant’, must continuously monitor
the status of the other ‘Entrant’ and initiate rescue
procedures if necessary. When the Safelink cable
is attached to the two Impact Pro instruments the
link is automatically recognized. One instrument
is configured as the ‘Attendant’ and the other is
automatically designated as the ‘Entrant’; neither
instrument can now be turned off.
The ‘Attendant’ is prompted at regular timed intervals
to send a message to the ‘Entrant’ who has to reply
by pressing any button on the instrument. If no reply
is received both instruments raise alarms. Other
pre-defined messages may be configured using
the optional PC software allowing a flexible method
of communication to be established.
