Product Description
The Elpas Lone Worker Transmitter is a personal duress button device with optional
pull cord and fall detection capabilities. The LWT is designed for real-time monitoring
and tracking of staff members and visitors. The LoneWorker Fall Detect Transmitter is
designed both for seniors in assisted living facilities or work place staff members that
may be subject to attack or injury in high-risk environments.
Alarms may be triggered either by squeezing the two side buttons. In the Fall Detect
version, when worn on a belt, a short rip cord may be attached to a belt loop so that
an alarm is transmitted when the device is pulled off the belt.
Note:
Users can also wear the LoneWorker Transmitter as a pendant using a lanyard. If you
choose to do so, make sure you use a lanyard for which, the force required to unlatch the tether
switch is less than the force required to open the clasp.
The pull mechanism is particularly useful for seniors with arthritis who have difficulties
pressing buttons.
The LoneWorker Fall Detect Transmitter also detects falls and alarms when tilted
horizontally. To prevent false alarms, the device indicates a pre-alarm by giving the
wearer a chance to cancel the alarm before it is transmitted by pressing on the front
cancel button.
(Actual product may vary from photo)
Button press or pull cord should be used as the primary means of calling for help even
after a fall. The fall detection is meant to alert in the event that the victim falls
unconscious and may not trigger if not sufficiently horizontal.
LWT based help call systems may be monitored by Elpas ELC controllers and/or by
Eiris Software. Elpas Low Frequency Beacons or IR readers may be used to provide
room level indoor location.
Outputs on all Elpas network devices may be used to drive sirens, strobe lights or PA
systems. Alerts may be sent to various handheld devices such as DECT handsets
using Eiris DECT interfaces or to IOS or Android smartphones using EirisGo apps.
Calls may be cleared by exposing the LWT to a responder’s handheld LF beacon
requiring that staff arrive at the location of the caller.
The same Elpas infrastructure used for the duress solution may also be leveraged for
Access control, Asset tracking, Attendance and intrusion alarming making Elpas one
of the most competitive comprehensive solutions available today.
