Data logging
The Analox Aspida has a built-in data-logging facility which will automatically log gas readings for
all fitted sensors and pressure, whenever the device is active. Readings are logged to internal
memory at a rate configurable through the user software. The device can store over 7 days of
continuous data. All data is logged with a date and time stamp, and where multiple users are
registered with the device, each set of readings is logged against the selected user ID.
The data-log can be downloaded from the device for analysis using the Aspida configuration
software. See the Aspida configuration software manual for instructions.

Man-down alarm
The Analox Aspida is equipped with a man-down alarm which is disabled by default. If the man-
down alarm feature is enabled the
Aspida device will monitor any movement the device is subject
to. If the user who is wearing the alarm is somehow incapacitated, an alarm will be sounded to
alert others in the nearby area of the accident.
NOTE:
BY DEFAULT, THE FEATURE IS DISABLED. ENABLING OR
DISABLING THE ALARM IS PERFORMED USING THE
ASPIDA
CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE (SEE THE SECTION ON ALARM
SETTINGS FOR FURTHER DETAILS).
If the man-down feature is enabled, the device will sound a low volume pre-warning alarm after it
detects no movement over a period of 4 minutes. The pre-warning alarm will sound for a period of
1 minute, during which a simple shaking of the device or pressing the
button will reset the
alarm timer. If after this 1-minute period, there has still been no movement detected then the
device will activate its ultra-loud siren to warn others of the incident. Once the high-volume alarm
has been activated, the alarm can only be cancelled by pressing the
button. During a man-
down alarm condition, following screen will be shown.

WARNING: CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHILST USING THE
ASPIDA DEVICE
WITH THE MAN-DOWN ALARM ENABLED. IF THE DEVICE IS
DETACHED FROM THE USER
’
S PERSON AND LEFT ON A
STATIONARY SURFACE, THE MAN-DOWN CONDITION WILL
BE TRIGGERED. THIS CAN LEAD TO UNINTENTIONAL
ACTIVATION OF THE VERY HIGH-VOLUME SIREN. AS THIS
SIREN SOUNDS IN EXCESS OF 100DB, THIS MAY BE
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL TO HEARING. TO AVOID NUISANCE
ALARMS, THE DEVICE SHOULD BE SWITCHED OFF WHEN
LEFT UNATTENDED.
NOTE:
THE MAN-DOWN HIGH-VOLUME SIREN CAUSES A LARGE
STRAIN ON THE ASPIDA
’S
BATTERIES AND AS SUCH, THE
EXPECTED OPERATING PERIOD FOR THE DEVICE IS
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED IF THE MAN-DOWN ALERT IS
FREQUENTLY TRIGGERED OR ALLOWED TO RUN FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
