    Senstar's Flare (Personal Alarm Locating System - PALS) and Flash (Personal Portable Alarm System - PPAS). The PPD is also known as a Personal Portable Alarm (PPA). The PPD and its setup are identical for both of these systems. In this manual the duress system (the RF receivers, communications network, display and control PC and software) may also be referred to as personal alarm system or simply the system.

  • Page 6: Ppd Id Guidelines

    PPD transmit ID for LB = 1001 + 467 + 500 = 1968 The system (Flash or Flare) in which the PPD is used must be configured with the same offset values in its ini file as those used to program all of the PPDs. When configured correctly, the system software subtracts the same offsets from the received PPD transmit ID and displays the original user set PPD ID.

    IDs 1501-1600). 2.1.3 Range Type 1 In the Range type 1 Flare and Flash systems, the range programmed into the sensors is translated by offset, (for the example in section 2.1.1, the range downloaded to the sensors would be 1468- 2068).

  • Page 8: Ppd Programming Software

    PPD Maintenance Manual PPD PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE The PC software Transmitter Programmer (p/n T1SW0800) and a programmer adapter (p/n T1FG0600) are required to configure PPD IDs and other parameters. PC System Requirements The PPD Programming Software (Transmitter Programmer.exe) requires a PC running a Windows operating system with a serial port available.

A wiggle motion can aid in applying incremental gentle pressure. The adapter will only fit in properly in one orientation due to the notch guides. Forcing a misaligned connector may cause damage to both the adapter and the PPD.

After replacing the battery, select the Reset Low Battery button to reset the low battery condition.

  • Page 14: Man-Down Module

    PPD Maintenance Manual MAN-DOWN MODULE This section describes programming of the user-configurable parameters of the optional Man- Down Module (MDM) for the PPD. Programmable Options The MDM includes several user configurable parameters. Included among these are the ability to change the angle at which the device goes into alarm mode, enable or disable a tilt warning and transmission tones, and changing the time between tilt and activation and retransmission.

  • Page 15: Tilt Angle For Alarm

    PPD Maintenance Manual 6.1.3 Tilt Angle for Alarm The value of this parameter sets the angle at which the unit will enter the alarm mode. For example, when this value is set to 45 degrees, the unit will enter alarm mode when the unit is tilted by 45 degrees or more.

  • Page 16: Beeper Period

    PPD Maintenance Manual 6.1.8 Beeper Period The value of this parameter sets the frequency of the warning tone. The default value is 65 (2.5 kHz). The user may experiment to determine the desired setting. Programming the Man-Down Module The section describes the steps required to program the user configurable options of the Man- Down Module.

    PPD Maintenance Manual Care and Cleaning The PPD outer protective case (carrying pouch) is made from leather. It should be cleaned and cared for as any leather product (e.g., periodically clean and moisturize with saddle soap or other leather cleaner). Remove the PPD from the leather case before cleaning the pouch to avoid contacting the PPD with the cleaning solution.

  • Page 22: Battery Replacement

    If this occurs, take the unit out of service immediately. [NOTE: Senstar PPD transmitters have been independently tested and shown to achieve over 3,000 transmissions at -40 degrees Celsius before the low battery threshold was observed].

  • Page 23: Ppd Transmitter Specifications

    PPD Maintenance Manual For legacy PPD units (serial numbers below 5600) the ARP and low battery reset may need to be performed. This may also be required for units with no pull-pin that have a non-zero pull-pin ARP setting. The ARP and battery low reset is performed as described in section 5. It can also be similarly performed without the programmer software or adapter.
