Auto-ON ActivationACTIVATING TPASS®3-R: When the TPASS®3-R is removed from a storage position, the Accountability Key automatically detaches, activating TPASS®3-R into the motion Sensing Mode. During activation, an operational signal of escalating audio tones will be heard and an alternating display of yellow LEDs indicates the TPASS®3-R is in Sensing Mode. When TPASS®3-R is activated, its internal radio transmits signals that are received by the MX900. PRE-ALERT MODE: After approximately 108 to 113 seconds of no motion, TPASS®3-R begins an audible Pre-Alert sound and the alternating yellow LED display is interrupted by the pulsing of two red LEDs. The Pre-Alert sound progressively becomes louder, indicating TPASS®3-R is closer to going into Alarm.ALARM MODE: There are two methods of activating the Alarm Mode. 1) MOTION-ALARM: After 120 to 125 seconds of no motion, TPASS®3-R enters the Alarm Mode as indicated by a rapid pulsing of two red LEDs while sounding a rapidly modulated, loud audio alarm. During Alarm, an emergency radio signal is trans-mitted to MX900, alerting personnel outside the im-mediate area that personnel may need assistance2) PANIC ALARM: Panic Alarm can be activated at any time (from Sensing Mode or Off Mode) by pressing the Emergency Alarm Button.Mode SelectionMANUAL ACTIVATION ● Simultanesouly press both side buttons to acti-vate TPASS®3-R into the motion Sensing Mode. ALARM ● Alarm Mode can be manually activated at any time (from Sensing Mode or Off Mode) by pressing the Emergency Alarm Button. RESET ● When in Alarm, the TPASS®3-R can be reset to Sensing Mode by simultaneously pressing both side buttons. OFF ● When in Sensing Mode, the TPASS®3-R can be turned OFF by pressing both side buttons simul-taneouslyVisual / Audio Mode DisplayOFF ● No LED display. ON (Sensing Mode) ● A series of escalating, loud audio tones. ● Followed by yellow alternating LED display. PRE-ALERT ● No motion sensed for 108 - 113 seconds. ● Yellow alternating LED display interrupted by the pulsing of two red LEDs. ● Accompanied by progressively louder, sweeping audio tones. ALARM ● No motion sensed for 120 - 125 seconds. ● Rapid pulsing of two front red LEDs. ● Accompanied by a rapidly modulated, loud (92dBA) audio alarm. ● Audio alarm signal is between 1,000 and 2,000 Hertz and cycles at 5.25 seconds on and .75 sec-onds off as an aid for determining direction when personnel need assistance. TPASS®3-R MaintenanceTPASS®3-R requires minimum maintenance and will provide years of service.Please Observe These Guidelines● At the end of each use, clean unit with a damp cloth. DO NOT use cleaning solvents. ● After each use, inspect unit for signs of physical damage. Remove TPASS®3-R from service if physical damage is observed. ● Store TPASS®3-R in a dry, well ventilated area con-sistent with battery manufacturer requirements. Recommended storage conditions are: 50o to 77oF (10o to 25oC) at no more than 65% relative humidity.● Units contaminated by chemical or radioactive ma-terials must be disposed of or decontaminated in accordance with all applicable regulatory standards.● DO NOT mark or apply paint to TPASS®3-R.Reset the Alarm Mode and return TPASS®3-R to Sensing Mode by simultaneously pressing both side buttons. TURN OFF: To turn TPASS®3-R OFF, replace Account-ability Key and press both side buttons simultaneously.Mode SelectionAUTO-ON ACTIVATION ● Remove Accountability Key to automatically acti-vate the unit into Sensing Mode. ALARM ● Alarm Mode can be manually activated at any time (from Sensing Mode or Off Mode) by pressing the Emergency Alarm Button. RESET ● When in Alarm, the TPASS®3-R can be reset to Sensing Mode by simultaneously pressing both side buttons. OFF ● Turn OFF TPASS®3-R by replacing the Account-ability Key and then pressing both side buttons simultaneously.

Fitness for use is best de-termined by the end user through a proper inspection and maintenance program. Product should be retired from service when damaged or returned to Grace In-dustries for evaluation and repair if applicable. For TPASS®3 with Alarm MonitoringThe Alarm Monitoring feature allows personnel to monitor the status of other personnel working in the same general area, when they are equipped with Grace Telemetry products. TPASS®3-AM MUST be in the Sensing Mode to receive Alarm signals from other Grace Telemetry products. When one telemetry unit goes into “Alarm” and an Alarm Monitoring TPASS®3 receives the signal, the receiving TP3-AM will sound a rapid ringing tone and provide a visual indication with a fl ashing yellow LED at the base of the antenna. The Alarm Monitoring display may be momentarily silenced for one minute by pressing both side buttons simul-taneously. Other units which go into alarm during the one minute period will reactivate the Alarm Monitoring audio sound signature and display. After one minute if the original unit is still in alarm, the alarm monitor-ing feature and display will be reactivated. This cycle will continue until the telemetry unit in Alarm is reset or shut off. TPASS®3-AM has an orange case.LimitationsTo reduce risk of serious injury or loss of life, ensure TPASS®3-R is fully operational by testing and inspecting the unit prior to use. Use of a TPASS®3-R maintenance and training program including recharging exhausted or low batteries is required for safe and proper use. After charging battery, always test TPASS®3-R with the MX900 to ensure proper operation.If proper operation of TPASS®3-R is questionable, remove unit from service and contact Grace Industries for assistance. The TPASS®3-R is Not available in a temperature sensing model.TPASS®3 Intrinsically Safe RechargeableTPASS®3 may be utilized as part of an Automated Accountability System when used with other Grace monitoring equipment.
