Personnel Alert: Base Station
User Manual
The Personnel Alert Base Station
The Personnel Alert Base Station (“base station”) is a
wireless alarm notification system that is designed to operate
in conjunction with fixed gas detection equipment and/or
plant alarm systems.
The base station continuously broadcasts to portable alarm
receivers (“badges”). If an alarm condition is received from a
fixed gas detection unit or from a plant alarm system, the
base station immediately broadcasts the alarm to all badges
within the coverage area. For more information about the
badges, refer to
Badges.
Each base station maintains an individual number and alarm
acknowledgement information for each badge. This
information is used to account for personnel during an alarm
response situation, such as an evacuation.
