Emergency call buttons

Once the ‘call button’ on the front of the unit is pressed, the unit can page an individual or a group of people to respond to the emergency situation.

There’s also a feature called ‘page cancel’. Paging from the unit can be stopped by swiping a pager over the front of the unit. Additionally if a group of people have been paged, when the unit is swiped by a pager then an automatic message is sent out telling all other team members that the emergency has been handled.

Range on the unit is approximately 250 metres in a factory environment, but LRS also makes signal boost repeaters to extend the range for factory wide coverage.

On show there will also be many ‘Man Down’ Two way radios and other two way radios and accessories.

Ian Litherland, EH&S advisor for an aerospace business based in the West Midlands, uses the HTQ Lone Worker radio system combined with the RSU1 radio based remote signaling and interface unit on site. He says: "The implementation of these radios has been a great success. The radios are easy to use and, for our site, the perfect answer to monitoring our colleagues who are temporarily working alone."
