Tilt Sensor Activation
The Man-Down Transmitter is shipped from the factory, with its Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch turned to the OFF position in order to
prevent the transmitter from emitting false Man-Down Alerts when the transmitter is not in actual usage.
To activate the transmitter’s Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch from OFF to its ON position.
Tilt Sensor Pre-Alert
When the Man-Down Transmitter is tilted by more than 60
0
from its normal (vertical) position a pre-alert state will exist for 15
seconds before the unit transmits a Man-Down Alert. This time period enables the user to return the transmitter to its original
vertical upright position or press the Temporary Tilt-Off push-button (located top edge of the transmitter) to prevent an
unintentional false alert to be transmitted. During this period the transmitter emits an audible beep and the LED indicator
flashes once every 2 seconds.
If the Man-Down Transmitter is laid down, while its Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch is in the OFF position, when the device is returned
to normal (vertical) position the device will emit 3 beeps to remind the user to reactivate the Tilt Sensor.
If the Man-Down Transmitter is laid down, while its Tilt Sensor Slide-Switch is in the ON position, when the device is returned to
normal (vertical) position the device will emit 2 beeps indicating that fall detection is enabled.
Temp Tilt-Off Push-Button
The Temp Tilt-Off Button (located on the top edge of the transmitter) is used to temporarily disable the unit’s Man-Down Alert
functionality for 10 seconds. When removing the transmitter, press Temp Tilt-Off Push-Button prior to putting down the unit.
When the unit is returned to a vertical position, fall detection will be enabled and the device will emit 2 beeps.
