Elpas Man-Down Emergency Call Transmitter
User Guide
For P/Ns: 5-MDA00433 and 5-MDA00433-1
Introduction
The Elpas Man-Down Emergency Call Transmitter is a holster worn
Active RFID Tag that delivers wireless monitoring and tracking of lone
workers, correctional guards and security personal that may be subject to
attack or injury in high-risk workplace environments.
The transmitter continuously transmits real-time location based security
data which is received and relayed over the Elpas infrastructure to a host
RTLS application or to an integrated 3rd party security platform for
triggering appropriate response protocols.
The transmitter includes two emergency call buttons for manual wireless
duress alerting when the user perceives a personal threat. Additional
Man-Down Emergency Call Transmitter
features such as an onboard tilt switch and pull cord enable automatic
alerting when the protected staff member is knocked down or if the unit is
grabbed from the protected worker by force. When combined with the on
board low frequency receiver the transmitter delivers precise positioning

alert messages should the following events occur:
Manual Duress Call
Pressing the left and the right emergency call push buttons
simultaneously will trigger the transmitter to emit a manual
duress alert.
Man-Down
A built-in tilt sensor will cause the unit to transmit an
automated Man-Down Alert when the unit is tilted by more
than 60 degrees should the user be knocked down or falls
to the ground. (See page 2 for further details.)
Pull Cord Detachment
The pull cord is attached to the
user’s clothes and is connected
to
the
transmitter
by
detachable plastic pin.
Initial Activation
The Man-Down Transmitter is shipped from the factory,
with the internal battery contact (+) covered by an isolation
foil to conserve battery power during shipping.
To make the unit operational, perform the following actions:
Remove the back cover using a Philips screw driver.
Open the front cover by pressing on the TEMP TILT OFF
inscription located on the top edge of the transmitter.
Grabbing the transmitter from the
user by force will cause the
plastic pin to detach from the
device triggering an automated
Duress Alert.
Pull out the isolation foil that is
inserted between the battery and the
battery holder (+) pole.
Change the DIP switches positions

Configuring Feedback Beep Sounds
DIP Switches 1 and 2 are used to configure under what conditions the Man-Down Transmitter will emit audible beep tones.
Both DIP Switches are shipped from the factory set to be ON (default).
DIP Switch 1
Controls whether or not the transmitter will beep
upon entering a LF field.
ON (Default): Transmitter is configured to beep
OFF: Transmitter is configured to remain silent
Dip Switch 2
Controls whether or not the transmitter will beep
upon emitting an alert.
ON (Default): Transmitter is configured to beep
OFF: Transmitter is configured to remain silent
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 600 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.
Battery Replacement
Change the transmitters’ status in the host RTLS application to Inactive. Next, remove the back cover of the transmitter
(see Page 1 - Initial Activation for details)
Remove the existing battery .Dispose of used battery in
accordance with local regulations. Then install a new
Battery verifying that the battery poles (+) and (-) are
located as marked on the battery housing.
Close the cover (see Page 1 – ‘Initial Activation’ for details). Finally, change the transmitters’ status in the host RTLS
application back to Active.
