Man Down Alarm
Man Down Alarm
The Man Down Alarm is a combined personal alarm and automatic fall detector. The automatic fall detection alert within the device works using a built-in tilt sensor. When the device tilts for a set period of time this indicates that a person may have fallen. Alternatively, pressing the red button on the device will generate a call at any time. In this way the Man Down Alarm functions in the same way as a pendant alarm. It works with a telecare base unit to generate a call for help 24hours a day to our Monitoring Centre in Ireland.
Applications - Man Down Alarm for elderly or disabled
The alarm can be used as a pendant alarm/panic button or as an automaic fall detector for people who are elderly or disabled. It can also be appropriate for some individuals with motor control problems, such as those resulting from a stroke or Multiple sclerosis (MS) in cases were the individual may not be able to press a standard pendant alarm button.
Applications - Man Down Alarm for lone working
The Man Down Alarm can be used as a safety device by a lone worker in a hazardous environment or where the worker will be alone for prolonged period of time. The Man Down Alarm works with our CareLink social alarm base unit. The base unit does not require a landline if a mobile SIM Card is used. This means the unit can be brought to various locations as required when being used for lone working applications. For instance in situations when work has to be completed in the same location for a day or more at a time, the base unit can be placed within range of the Man Down Alarm (approximately 250 metres) and the worker can carry out the job safe in the knowledge that he can call for help if needed.
Tilt Detection on the Man Down Alarm
l When the sensor detects a tilt of more than 60 degrees, it will start an internal countdown of approximately ten seconds.
l If the sensor comes back to a vertical position within these ten seconds no emergency alarm will be sent.
l If the sensor does not come back to a vertical position, a pre-alarm starts, accompanied by an audible/beeping sound. This audible alarm lasts approximately thirty seconds. The pre-alarm is cancelled if the sensor comes back to a vertical position or if the help call button is pressed within these thirty seconds.
Help call button
Pressing the central red button of the Man Down Alarm will activate a help call at any time.
