Man Down Alarm
The Man Down Alarm is a critical and potentially lifesaving safety feature of every
ToxiRAE Pro. The Man Down Alarm is based on the premise that if the instrument is
motionless when it is not supposed to be, something wrong may be happening to its user.
If that is the case, the ToxiRAE Pro not only goes into alarm locally on the instrument,
but also remotely, over the RAE Systems Dedicated Wireless Network, to notify people
in the vicinity, as well as remote safety officers at a command center, that a person is
down, so that help can be dispatched quickly.
Whenever the Man Down feature is on, the main screen displays a Man Down icon along the
top to indicate it is active:
When the Man Down feature is on and there is no gas alarm, the ToxiRAE Pro senses that it is
motionless for the amount of time set in the “Motionless Time” parameter. If the instrument is
not moved during that time, then a pre-alarm is activated to alert the user, and shows the “Are
You OK?” screen. Pressing [Y/+] clears the alarm and returns the ToxiRAE Pro to its normal
operation. Pressing [MODE] sets it into Man Down Alarm (and if wireless connectivity is
enabled, a Man Down message is sent in real time to remote observers). If neither key is
pressed, then after the countdown, it goes into Man Down Alarm (again sending a message to
remote observers if wirelessly enabled).
