Introduction

his User Guide provides basic instructions for the successful usage of the Lone Worker Transmitter.

CAUTION! Reasonable effort was made to ensure that the specifications and other information in this guide are accurate and complete at the time of its

publication. Nonetheless, all information contained in this document is subject to change at any time without prior notice. Any modifications to this equipment

ithout prior written consent of Elpas Solutions Ltd. will void all warranties including the pertinent regulatory certifications and as such revoke your authority

o operate this product. Furthermore, unauthorized modifications may also result in damage to this device and may cause a safety hazard to the users.

Product Description

The Elpas Shield is a personal duress button device with optional pull cord and fall

detection capabilities. Elpas Shield is designed for real-time monitoring and tracking of

staff members and visitors, both indoors and outdoors. The LoneWorker Fall Detect

Transmitter is designed both for seniors in assisted living facilities or work place staff

members that may be subject to attack or injury in high-risk environments.

Alarms can be triggered either by squeezing the two side buttons. In the Fall Detect

version, when worn on a belt, a short rip cord may be attached to a belt loop so that

an alarm is transmitted when the device is pulled off the belt.

Note: Users can also wear the Shield as a pendant using a lanyard. If you choose to do so, make

sure you use a lanyard for which, the force required to unlatch the tether switch is less than the

force required to open the clasp.

The pull mechanism is particularly useful for seniors with arthritis who have difficulties

pressing buttons.

The LoneWorker Fall Detect Transmitter also detects falls and alarms when tilted

horizontally. To prevent false alarms, the device indicates a pre-alarm by giving the

wearer a chance to cancel the alarm before it is transmitted by pressing on the front

cancel button.

(Actual product may vary from photo)

Button press or pull cord (pull cord is present only in Fall detect version) should be

used as the primary means of calling for help even after a fall. The fall detection is

meant to alert in the event that the victim falls unconscious and may not trigger if not

sufficiently horizontal.

Elpas Shield based help call systems may be monitored by Elpas ELC controllers

and/or by Eiris Software which also receives alerts, through Eiris Cloud, from the

LoneWorker application that connects to Elpas Shield through Bluetooth, outdoors.

Elpas Low Frequency Beacons may be used to provide room level indoor location.

Outputs on all Elpas network devices may be used to drive sirens, strobe lights or PA

systems. Alerts may be sent to various handheld devices such as DECT handsets

using Eiris DECT interfaces or to IOS or Android smartphones using EirisGo apps.

Calls may be cleared by exposing Elpas Shield to a responder’s handheld LF beacon

requiring that staff arrive at the location of the caller.

The same Elpas infrastructure used for the duress solution may also be leveraged for

Access control, Asset tracking, Attendance and intrusion alarming making Elpas one

of the most competitive comprehensive solutions available today.

Initial Activation & Software Enrollment

The Lone Worker Transmitter is shipped from the factory in

Sleep Mode to conserve battery power during transit.

1. Prior to initial usage, remove the Activation Label and then

press, simultaneously, both of the emergency call push buttons

for at least 7 seconds.

This action Awakens the Transmitter from Sleep Mode and also

enrolls its unique factory installed ID Number (a six-digital

hexadecimal value) into the Host RTLS Application.

If the Enrollment process is successful, the Red LED

Status Indicator of the transmitter lights up for 3 seconds.

(Refer to your Eiris Configuration Guides for additional details.)

Battery Replacement

CAUTION! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by

an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to

the instructions.

1. Temporarily suspend usage of the Transmitter in the host

RTLS application.

2. Place the transmitter on its right side. Remove the 2 screws

that hold the battery cover to the body of the Transmitter

3. First time replacement: Utilize the pull tab (find it with the

Bat▼mark engraved on the back) to slide the battery out of

the Transmitter.

Future replacements: In the absence of the pull tab,

remove the cover from the other side, and use a plastic

instrument to slide the battery out.

Dispose of the used battery in accordance with local

regulations.

CAUTION! After removing the battery please wait at

least 30 seconds before installing the replacement battery

so as to not cause damage to the tag or to negatively affect

the tag’s operational performance.

4. Slide the new battery into the transmitter. Recommended

battery: CR2450 Lithium Battery.

IMPORTANT! Ensure that the positive (+) side of the

battery faces up.

5. Close the side-cover(s) such that the screw holes are

correctly aligned. Tighten the 2 screws snugly into place. Do

not over-tighten as this may strip the case threads.

6. Reactivate the Transmitter in the Host RTLS Application.

Safety Issues

It is the responsibility of the system installer to ensure that the

appropriate staff members are suitably trained in the usage and

maintenance of the Lone Worker Transmitter.

Additionally, Supervisory Alerts should be configured in the Host

RTLS Application to notify staff members that the detection

Transmitter is:

In a low battery condition, or

Not properly transmitting location and status data.

Note: The above configured Supervisory Alerts should be triggered

periodically to ensure system integrity.

Alert Testing

When you press either the left or the right emergency call push-

button individually, you trigger the Lone Worker Transmitter to emit

a Test Alert Message for the host RTLS application to confirm that

the unit is functioning properly.

Cleaning & Disinfection Procedures

Use an appropriate antibacterial disinfectant such as Dispatch®Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant with Bleach from Caltech Industries

(http://www.caltechind.com) to clean the Lone Worker Transmitter.

Since ‘Cleaning Procedures’ may vary according to facility guidelines, thus the procedures given below are for illustrative purposes only:

Option 1 – Using Dispatch Disinfectant Spray

1. Lightly wet a disposable towel with Dispatch spray.

Do not saturate the towel

2. Wipe the outer surfaces of the sensor

3. Wipe the sensor with a dry disposable towel

4. Allow the sensor to air dry

5. Return the clean sensor to inventory or usage

6. Dispose of used towels per facility policies

Option 2 – Using Dispatch Disinfectant Towels

1. Open a new Dispatch pre-moistened towel

2. Wipe the outer surfaces of the sensor

3. Wipe the sensor with a dry disposable towel

4. Allow the sensor to air dry

5. Return the clean sensor to inventory or usage

6. Dispose of used towels per facility policies

Pull Switch Cleaning: Frequent use of the pull switch may result in a buildup of dust on the mechanism. Dust buildup causes friction

hich requires added force to pull and restore the switch. Should this occur, clean the switch using a compressed air duster. Gently

spray on the pull switch, and use a brush (often included in the canister).

Alert Event Configuration in Eiris

There are nine alert events relevant to the Lone Worker tag.

LoneWorker Fall Alarm (Fall Detect version only):When the

tag tilts and the Pre Alarm event is not cancelled within 15

seconds, the tag transmits the LoneWorker Fall Alarm which

indicates that the user has fallen and unable to function.

LoneWorker Front Button Press: In regular version, B2

down. In Fall Detect version, to cancel an alert event, the

user can press the button in the front of the tag. To cancel a

Pre Alarm event, the user can place the tag in the up-right

position. If the tag is repositioned, it transmits the Cancel

(cancel the Pre Alarm) alert event.

LoneWorker Panic: When under duress, the user can press

both of the side buttons, simultaneously, or pull the cord to

transmit a LoneWorker Panic event.

LoneWorker Pre Alarm: When the tag tilts, it transmits a

Pre Alarm event and starts to vibrate. The pre Alarm and

vibration last for 15 seconds during which, the user can

cancel it.

LoneWorker Pull Cord Restore: When the user inserts

the cord back into place, the tag transmits a cancellation

for the Pre Alarm event.

LoneWorker Single Side Button: To test the alerts, the

user can press either of the side buttons to transmit a

LoneWorker Single Side Button event.

Low Battery: When the battery of the tag runs low, it

transmits a Low Battery event.

Motion: When the tag is in motion, it transmits a Motion

event.

Stationary: When the tag is stationary, it transmits a

Stationary event.
