EkoTek is a battery operated mesh networkbased on the 802.15.4 standard which can beeasily implemented within a building withoutrouting wires. EkoTek provides two-waycommunication to user devices, allowing them toraise an alarm and receive messages from teammembers to know help is on the way. Call FobThe call fob allows an assistance call to begenerated either by the user pressing a button,or automatically by the dead-man or man-downfeatures. Accurate location information isregularly obtained from the repeater networkand relayed to teams for immediate assistance. EkoTek PagerThe pager is a multi-functional device, displayingreceived messages with acknowledgement, plusthe ability to generate an alarm from the button,snatch cord (panic), dead-man or man-downfeatures. Its display shows alarms from otherpagers and call fobs, allowing the user to acceptthe alarm and signal back to confirm thatassistance is on its way.

Device configuration can bechanged using a PC running web browsersoftware such as Internet Explorer. Network anddevice data can be collected. Pager messages,production of groups of pagers and locationdisplay allow call fob or pagers users to belocated.EkoTek systems can be extended usingSynchronized Ethernet Repeaters (SERs). Up to8 SERs can be used to extend a system.RepeaterBattery operated with a battery life of up to 2years which form the mesh radio network.Technical specificationRadio PerformancelRadio frequency: 2405-2480MHzlRadio channels: 16lChannel operating mode: Fixed frequency, orfrequency hoppinglMaximum no. of radio channelssimultaneously used per system: 16lRadio power: 10mWlRadio coding: modulation format OQPSKDSSS IEEE 802.15.4Electrical SpecificationlHub power: AC-DC power adaptor lHub back-up batteries: 3 x C cell NiMHrechargeable batterieslRepeater power: 2 X D cell high capacityalkaline manganese batterieslPager power: 1 X NiMH rechargeable battery(not replaceable)lCall fob power: 1 X NiMH rechargeablebattery (not replaceable)lMains powered repeater power: 9.5-15V DC15mA, with proprietary rechargeable batterypack as back-uplCharging rack: AC-DC power adaptorlCall point power: 2 X D cell high capacityalkaline manganese batterieslSynchronized Ethernet Repeater: power overethernet with a back-up of 2AA NiMHrechargeable batterieslMains powered call point: 11 – 15V 25mA,with proprietary rechargeable battery pack asback-uplBattery life: EkoTek pager: up to 2 weeks*EkoTek fob: up to 4 weeks*System MaximumslMax no. of pagers: 127lMax no. of devices per system: 500 (inc.pagers, fobs, repeaters and hub)External Connections (hub)l2 x serial port: 300 – 9600 baudPort A: ESPA input/outputTAP input/outputPort B: TAP inputESPA inputNote: TAP & ESPA protocols are not standardised andrequire tests for compatibility.*dependent on usageEkoTekPersonal Security System
