Wired & Wireless Solutions mini-PACCS on-site man-down system

The mini-PACCS on-site man-down system is designed for use by people working alone in industrial, health care, security and high-risk facilities.

The system has five types of events: distress - press the two emergency buttons simultaneously, man-down/no movement - when the wearer falls down, pull-cord - when transmitter is pulled off the wearer, test - for testing the transmitter, tamper - an unauthorised person opens transmitter.

Its message centre comprises receivers and transmitters with relevant interfaces. It stores and distributes pre-recorded messages from pre-programmed phone numbers (optionally text messages and emails) and sends them out to a range of receiving units such as mobile and landline phones, computers and warning devices such as strobe lights and audible alarms. Messages can be voice, SMS and even GPS coordinates for pinpointing duress locations.

It allows single or multiple users and calls pre-designated phone numbers with pre-recorded message with user choice of escalation. It allows voice and data alarms to be sent over the GSM network and is secure - using factory-programmed, randomly selected codes. It has a range of 50-100 m indoors and 200-300 m outdoors with an option for a repeater unit to extend the signal, with options for much wider coverage areas including citywide.

The system is remotely accessible for reprogramming of options and messages, has mains power with battery backup option and is supplied as plug-and-play for simple installation.
