Man-Down Function
5.2.1 Man-Down On/Off
The Man-Down On/Off function has 4 settings:
•
Off
•
On
Alarm is triggered with insufficient movement in any direction. The pre-warn or
alarm can be cleared by quickly tilting, or by pressing the Left [+/OK] key.
•
Vertical Off
The alarm stays off as long as the instrument is held in a vertical position,
such as clipped to a belt (or straight upside-down), and triggers when in any other
position including held sideways or laying face up or down. A pre-warn can be cleared by
quickly returning the POLI to a vertical position, or pressing the Left [+/OK] key.
•
Horizontal Off
The alarm stays off as long as the instrument is held in a horizontal
position, such as laying face up on a table, and triggers when in any other position. A pre-
warn can be cleared by quickly returning the POLI to a horizontal position, or pressing
the Left [+/OK] key.
The Man-Down icon on the main screen verifies that the
Man-Down function is enabled.
5.2.2
Man-Down Warn Time
This menu allows adjustment of the time allowed for the user to clear a pre-warn signal before
the unit goes into full Man-Down Alarm. The pre-warn time can be adjusted between 10 and 60
seconds and the default value is 30 seconds.
5.2.3
Man-Down Threshold (Sensitivity)
This menu allows adjustment of the sensitivity to motion (On Mode) or position changes
(Vertical or Horizontal Off Modes) for detecting a Man-Down condition. Low sensitivity
means fewer alarms and High sensitivity means a greater likelihood of triggering an alarm.
5.2.4
Man-Down Motionless Time
This menu allows adjustment of the time allowed for stopped motion (On Mode) or position
changes (Vertical or Horizontal Off Modes), before a Man-Down condition is detected. The
motionless or position-change time can be adjusted between 10 and 60 seconds and the default
value is 30 seconds.
