Battery Charging LED Display
Charging: When the charging key is in place and
plugged into a power source, a steady Green LED will
glow below the left side button (left side when facing
the TPASS®3-R unit).
Charging Complete: Unit is fully charged when the
steady green glow is replaced by a fl ashing Green dis-
play.
The Low Battery Alarm will sound when the battery has
been exhausted to 20% of capacity (indicating approx.
1 hour operating time remains). Charging the battery is
necessary when low battery alarm sounds.
The low battery alarm is an easily recognized series of
two audio beep tones enunciated every fi ve seconds
when the TPASS®3-R is in the Sensing Mode.
Grace Industries, Inc. assumes no liability for mechani-
cal, electrical, or other types of battery failure.

Auto-ON Activation
ACTIVATING 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 assistance
2) PANIC ALARM: Panic Alarm can be activated
at any time (from Sensing Mode or Off Mode) by
pressing the Emergency Alarm Button.

For TPASS®3 with Alarm Monitoring
The 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.
Limitations
To 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 Rechargeable
TPASS®3 may be utilized as part of an Automated Accountability System when used with other Grace monitoring equipment.
