How It Works: Keeping Your Team Safe With the CenTrak-Elpas Man Down Security Solution

Wearable Duress Transmitters for Staff

Each officer or staff member is equipped with an Emergency Call Transmitter, offering both manual and automatic emergency alerts:

• Two panic buttons for immediate, manual alerting

• Automatic alerts triggered by tilt, no motion, or pull-cord removal

• Real-time location updates – second-by-second updates

In Case of Emergency

If an officer is in distress, they can press the panic button, or the system will automatically detect events like falls, prolonged inactivity, or tampering.

The duress signal is sent instantly to the command center, providing the individual’s name and precise location, enabling a faster, more accurate response.

Real-Time Locating with Second-by-Second Accuracy

• Location data is transmitted once every second, ensuring the most up-to-date location visibility, even if a staff member is on the move.

• Locations appear live on command center dashboards, allowing for immediate situational awareness and decision-making.

More Than a Panic Button: Advanced Alert Types

CenTrak’s Elpas-Series supports six customizable alert types, including:

• Man down (fall detected by tilt sensor)

• Panic alert (manual button press)

• No motion

• Low battery

• Pull cord removed

• Not seen (device not transmitting)

Each alert type can be tailored to your facility’s protocols.
