1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Model MDT-MOD transmitters and Model MDR-MOD receivers are designed as wireless components in
a portable Personal Body Alarm System. The system will help to locate an individual in distress. Each device
is digitally coded to prevent undesired activation from adjacent systems operating on the same frequency. All
MDT-MOD transmitters and MDR-MOD receivers are pre-coded at the factory to the same digital code.
Model MDT-MOD transmitters feature a stainless steel belt clip on the rear of the unit for fastening to a utility
belt or pocket. Transmitters are activated by pulling the lanyard attached to the top of the unit, or by pressing
the button on the face of the unit. The red activation indicator on the top corner of the transmitter lights when
the device is triggered.
When the lanyard is separated from the transmitter, a digitally coded radio signal is sent for ten seconds. Any
MDR-MOD receivers that are within radio range of the transmitter will activate. The radio range of
each receiver
is adjustable, allowing customized signal coverage at each receiver’s location.
When a receiver detects a properly coded signal from one of the transmitters, its isolated Form “C” relay
(normally open & closed contacts) will activate. The relay contacts are intended to be hardwired to associated
annunciation equipment that will pinpoint the location of the receiver.
Transmitters are powered by two Type 2032 lithium “coin cell” batteries. When the batteries get low, the red
indicator on the transmitter will light dimly when the unit is activated. If the red indicator no longer lights when the
transmitter is activated, the batteries should be replaced.
NOTE: Even though the transmitter stops sending a signal ten seconds after the lanyard is pulled, the red
indicator will stay lit until the lanyard is replaced. To avoid constant battery drain, replace the lanyard.
Receivers are powered from a 24 V DC or AC power source. They each require 25 mA standby, and 60 mA
operating current. The red indicator in the receiver shows RF signal activity and is used during reprogramming.
