Personnel Alert: Base Station
The Personnel Alert Base Station
Badges
The alarm receivers are referred to as “badges” that are
carried by personnel to provide immediate notification in the
event of an alarm condition.
The badges continuously monitor broadcast messages from
the base station(s). If an alarm condition occurs, the badges
emit audible and visual alarms, and vibrate. The badge LCD
also displays the severity of an alarm: HIGH, LOW, and
SYSTEM.
If alarm notification is received, personnel then use the
badge to acknowledge the alarm. A message is immediately
sent back to the base station while personnel are evacuating
the area.
