If a vehicle moves out of range of the detection zones, it is forgotten by the pedestrian tag acknowledge 
function, so that if it reappears, it will cause a new alert. 

Alarm priorities:  
 

When the vehicle is in standstill, and up to a speed of max_pps_speed (default 8 km/h), PA alarms 
have priority  over other CAS alarms. At speeds, faster than this parameter (If configured), Personal 
Alert alarms will be disabled. 

 
 

4.4.1.  Battery Power Indication 

 

By  double  clicking  the  Acknowledge  Button,  the  Pedestrian  Tag  LEDs  shows  battery  power  status. 
This is shown as a short simultaneous blink on both LEDs. In case of a battery with sufficient state of 
charge,  this  is  shown  in  green  color,  if  medium  battery  life  an  amber  color  will  be  displayed  on  the 
LEDs, and this indicates a life span of approximately 2-3 hours. If the battery is at a low level a red 
color will be displayed, and this indicates a life span of less 1 hour left.

 

Once the battery has reached a critically low state of charge, it will display a permanent indication to 
the user that it needs to be recharged. This indication is shown by displaying both LEDs in a constant 
red color: 

 

This sign indicates that the Tag is no longer operational and it indicated until the battery is flat. 

 

Limitation:

 In rare cases, the Pedestrian Tag will stop emitting the correct alerts on the LEDs due to 

low power but it will not show the Low Battery Indication.
