5 Alarm Functions
To secure a safe transmission of an alarm, every alarm is sent in two sequences. The
number of times to resend an alarm in each sequence is configurable with parameters and
is done in the PDM.
A beep/vibrator/LED signal can confirm that an alarm has been sent. These feedback
signals of a sent alarm are all configurable.
Common Alarm Configurations
The following parameters are common for the Test alarm, Personal alarm, Man-down &
No-movement and Pull-cord alarm types.
• Number of alarm transmissions per sequence
• Beep feedback
•LED feedback
• ALS activation
• Vibrator feedback

Press and hold the "Alarm" push-button until "Test Alarm" is displayed. Depending on set

Note: Send a test alarm every day to test the transceiver and system.
Personal Alarm
Press the "Alarm" push-button twice or more. "Personal Alarm" is displayed. Depending
on set parameters, a beep is heard, the green LED flashes once and the vibrator stirs.

An alarm is sent when the pull-cord is pulled off the transceiver. Depending on set
parameters, a beep/vibrator/LED signal confirms that the alarm has been sent.
The pull-cord must be attached more than 5 seconds to generate an alarm.
Note: Make sure that the clip of the pull-cord is safely attached to the clothes. To make a
test, remove the battery of the transceiver, pull the transceiver and make sure that the
pull-cord releases first.

seconds, for example when falling.
No-movement alarm: Movement is not detected during a preset time (default 30 seconds).
Before the alarm is sent, the transceiver enters a warning phase called Man-down/No-
movement Warning (MDW), with a repeated warning tone (default 7 seconds). The beep
