Lone worker transmitter

by Mark Rowe

Elpas, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, released the Lone Worker Emergency Call Transmitter, as part of its Emergency Call Solution.

The transmitter is for personnel who may face attack or injury when operating on their own to send alerts about their situation. Then responders can be dispatched to the location.

The Elpas Real-Time Location System (RTLS) monitors the location of the Lone Worker Tag and may be used to manage emergency response efforts.

David Fensterheim, Vice President, Product Management for Elpas, said: “In high-risk environments such as correctional institutions, petrochemical plants, or even in perilous situations in healthcare facilities, workers need to be able to transmit information on their location and situation as quickly and accurately as possible, even when under attack. The Lone Worker Emergency Call Transmitter is an integral part of our overall emergency call solution, providing precise, real-time data when it’s needed most.”

The transmitter comes with two emergency call buttons, on either side of the unit for manual, wireless duress alerting. Also, there is an onboard tilt switch and a pull cord for automatic alarm sending if a lone worker is knocked down, or even becomes unconscious, or if the unit is taken from the victim by force.

The weatherproof call transmitter is designed to eliminate false alarms through the use of a dedicated front button that is used to clear alerts, the makers add; visit www.elpas.com.
