Enable SAFE-DISTANCE & Settings
Settings which determine how readily and how quickly a HAVwear will
detect a proximity contact are included in the Social Distancing setup
options.
How To:
• On the top tool bar, select Data/Project Manager
• On the side menu select SETUP > Social Distancing Options.
• Tick the Enabled field
Changing the sensitivity setting from standard to low will result in the HAVwear detecting a proximity when two
HAVwear are closer together. The standard sensitivity setting has been optimised for typical workplace
environments to provide an alert to the operator of a contact distance of typically 2m. Different environments may
require a different setting depending on their effect on the radio signals used in proximity detection, so a limited
degree of adjustment is provided through this function. Note the company global settings marked with an Asterix
below can be adjusted at a docking station level. See the Reactec Analytics Software Administration guide on how
to edit a Docking Stations settings.
➢ *Contact Start Period: After a 5 secs period to detect proximity this setting controls for how much longer
the HAVwear waits to confirm the ongoing presence of a signal and start the period of detection. Good
alignment between devices or enclosed environments can lead to false positives which are infrequent and
short in duration. Extending the start contact from the default of 5secs will reduce these events
➢ Contact End Period: Defines the minimum period of time for which no signal is detected for the HAVwear
to end the detection of a proximity record. Reactec recommend 5 secs.
➢ *Alert Type: Choose whether the HAVwear user receives an alert for proximity which is “vibrate and Beep”,
“vibrate only” or “none”
➢ Max Short Contact Duration: Defines a period of time where the detected proximity will be considered
short and reported as green in the Workforce Contact report.
➢ Max Moderate Contact Duration: Defines a period of time above which the detected proximity will be
considered sustained and reported as red in the Workforce Contact report.
➢ *Sensitivity: Reactec recommend a sensitivity of standard to detect a distance of around 2m. A lower
setting will cause devices to need to be closer together to detect proximity. A low or very low sensitivity
setting may be preferred in enclosed areas such as offices.
