GRACE WF1 WorkForce Lone Worker Monitor User Guide

GRACE WF1 WorkForce Lone Worker Monitor

WorkForce® model WF1 is a worker-worn motion- sensing Man-Down Alarm that uses independent, high performance RF (radio-frequency)  wireless  signaling to help protect workers in dangerous and hazardous environments.

WorkForce® provides real-time motion-sensing, includ- ing fall- detection , and contains an Emergency Alarm Button to immediately transmit a distress alarm signal.

WorkForce® Alarm Monitoring (AM) version also receives distress alarm signals from other workers equipped with WorkForce® and alerts the user with audible and visual indicators. Other emergency signal- ing features of WorkForce® include Evacuate, Abandon, PAR, Roll-Call, and optional Out-of-Range indication.

A complete worker safety system can be achieved by using additional Grace monitoring products with locating capabilities.

Read Instructions Before Use

Always test WorkForce® prior to use

Operating Instructions

( 90 seconds to Alarm used for example ) **ACTIVATING WorkForce®:** Simultaneously pressing both side buttons turns the WorkForce® ON and activates Sensing  Mode.

In Sensing Mode, the device is monitoring radio traffic for alarm

messages. The WorkForce® is also sensing motion, if enabled. When Auto-ON/OFF setting is enabled, disconnecting the unit from the charger adapter will activate WorkForce® and put into Sensing Mode.

During activation, an operational signal of escalating audio tones will be heard and the Power Indicator (at upper left) will begin to blink approximately once per second. A pair of Green LEDs in the Alarm Ring will begin flashing in an alternating display to indicate motion is being sensed.

When WorkForce® is activated, its internal radio transmits signals to other GRACE devices and equipment.

PRE-ALERT MODE: When a user remains motionless, a Pre-Alert warning will begin to sound approximately 12 seconds before going into Alarm Mode. When no motion is sensed for approximately 78- 83 seconds, WorkForce® begins an audible Pre-Alert sound and an alternating Yellow LED display in the Alarm Ring. If motion is detected during Pre-Alert, WorkForce® will reset into Sensing Mode.

ALARM MODE: There are 2 methods of activating Alarm Mode.

• MOTION ALARM: After 90 to 95 seconds of no motion, WorkForce® enters the Alarm
• DISTRESS ALARM: WorkForce® user can activate Alarm Mode at any time (from Sensing Mode or OFF Mode ) by pressing the Emergency Alarm

ALARM MODE: Is indicated by a rapid pulsing of Red LEDs in the Alarm Ring while sounding a loud audio alarm. During alarm, an emergency radio signal is transmitted to other GRACE devices and equipment, alerting personnel that personnel may need assistance.

RESET Alarm Mode : Return WorkForce® to Sensing Mode by simultaneously pressing both side buttons.

OFF: When in Sensing Mode, turn OFF by simultaneously pressing and holding both side buttons for approximately 3 seconds until    a series of de- escalating audio tones are heard and all LED activity cease. When Auto-ON/OFF setting is enabled, connecting the unit to the charger adapter will turn the WorkForce® OFF.

SYSTEM LOOP TEST: When in Sensing Mode, press and  hold top button until a rapid tri-tone confirms the device has sent Loop Test Message and the countdown timer has started. A successful Loop Test is indicated by an escalating tri-tone and side LEDs 4-1 blinking yellow in an upward sequence. If the Loop Test Acknowledge message is NOT received within the configured timeframe, a de-escalating tri-tone will be heard. NOTE: Use the Device Settings option in WorkForce Configura- tion tool to enable/disable this feature.

Operation of Special Features

EVACUATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT: If an Evacuate message is received by the WorkForce®, it can be manually acknowledged by simultaneously pressing both side buttons.

ABANDON ACKNOWLEDGMENT: If an Abandon message is received by the WorkForce®, it can be manually acknowledged by simultaneously pressing both side buttons.

ALARM MONITORING: Allows the user to monitor the status of other personnel working in the same general area when they are equipped with WorkForce® or other GRACE devices. WorkForce® MUST be in the Sensing Mode to receive Alarm signals from other Grace devices or equipment. When one device goes into Alarm and an Alarm Monitoring WorkForce® receives the signal, the Red side LEDs will flash in an alternating pattern. This alert can be cleared for one minute by pressing both side buttons simultaneously. If additional GRACE devices go into Alarm during this one-minute period, the Alarm Monitoring LED display will be reactivated. This cycle will continue until the telemetry unit in Alarm is reset or shut off.

NOTE: If an alarm has been received, the WorkForce® will not turn off until the alarm has been cleared or reset.

FALL DETECTION:

WorkForce® is capable of detecting a fall of greater than 4ft. If a fall is detected, the device will enter the Fall Pre-Alert state for 15 sec- onds to allow the user to reset the WorkForce® after a false trigger or a fall that does not require assistance. Fall Pre-Alert can only be reset by simultaneously pressing both side buttons. If the Fall Pre- Alert is not reset within 15 seconds the device will automatically enter the Fall Alarm mode. This will send out a Fall Detected Alarm message to any compatible Grace monitoring equipment.

FALL PRE-ALERT MODE: Is indicated by alternating Yellow LED display in the Alarm Ring, and a double beep after the Pre-Alert tone. Fall Pre-Alert may be cleared by simultaneously pressing both side buttons.

FALL ALARM MODE: Is indicated by rapid pulsing of the Red LED’s in the Alarm Ring while sounding a loud audio alarm with a double beep. Clear the Fall Alarm by simultaneously pressing both side buttons.

IMPORTANT NOTE: WorkForce® model WF1 cannot detect every possible type of ‘fall’-event and it is the user’s responsibility to be trained to always push the Emergency Alarm button, if they are able, following any type of ‘fall’-event.

SIGNAL-LOST/OUT-of-RANGE **OPERATION:**

Signal-Lost/Out-of-Range is an indication that the user is beyond the effective signaling range of the WorkForce® and a Grace monitoring device or unit, such as a Grace GMG or GFG Gateway, MS2000, SMS or Grace-Watch® system. This feature operates using 2 way signaling between the WorkForce and the monitoring unit for the purpose of indicating to the user they may be out of the effective signaling range of the system.

When this feature is enabled  and  under  normal  operation,  the user will receive notification they are in the effective signaling range on the monitoring device within 30 seconds after powering on the WorkForce®.

This feature can be enabled through the PC software configuration tool. If this feature was not enabled, verify there is a Grace monitoring device that present that supports Signal-Lost/ Out-of-Range notification and is configured to actively operate with the WorkForce® units.

WorkForce® Mounting and Attachment

IMPORTANT NOTE: For WorkForce® to properly sense a falling motion, the device must be securely attached to the user.

WorkForce® is equipped with a high-strength grip-clip designed for secure attachment to personnel gear such as to a vertical strap on the upper left or right shoulder with the sound port facing out, or on the right or left hip area. The optional swivel-clip attachment is designed to clip onto a horizontal belt or strap. However, the ideal wearing position of WorkForce® is often best determined by the end user for ease of access and operation.

Definition of Terms

ABANDON : Abandon signal received, indicating imminent harm may occur and the user should abandon the area immediately.

Alarm Inhibit Timer : When WorkForce® receives an alarm message from another GRACE Industries device and that alarm is cleared, the Alarm Inhibit Timer provides a 30 second period of time where the WorkForce® will not receive another alarm message from that same device.

Alarm Message : A radio transmitted signal is sent from the Work- Force® to notify monitoring personnel that an emergency situation is present and rescue action is requested.

Alarm Mode : WorkForce® transmits an emergency radio signal and emits a loud audio alarm tone when  motion-sensing  timer has lapsed, fall-detection was recorded, or the emergency alarm button is activated.

Alarm Monitoring : Allows the user to monitor  the  status  of  other personnel working in the same general area when they are equipped with WorkForce® or other GRACE devices. WorkForce® MUST be in the Sensing Mode to receive Alarm signals from other GRACE devices or equipment.

When one device goes into Alarm and an Alarm Monitoring WorkForce® receives the signal, the Red side LEDs will flash in an alternating pattern. This alert can be cleared for 30 seconds by pressing both side buttons simultaneously. If additional GRACE devices go into Alarm during this one-minute period, the Alarm Monitoring LED display will be reactivated. This cycle will continue until the unit in Alarm is reset or shut off.

NOTE: If an alarm has been received, the WorkForce® will not turn off until the alarm has been cleared or reset.

Auto ON/OFF : When this setting is enabled, WorkForce® is turned On and Off by disconnecting or connecting the device into the Charger Adapter.

Dilution of Precision : A term used in satellite-gps navigation to express the positioning accuracy of a GPS enabled device.

EVACUATE: Evacuation signal received, indicating the user should leave the area immediately.

Fall Detection : When in Sensing Mode, WorkForce® monitors the user for a falling motion. Once a possible fall is detected, the unit enters Fall Pre- Alert mode, alerting the user of a detected fall and allowing time (< 15 seconds) to clear the detected fall before an Alarm is activated.

Man-Down Alarm Mode : A WorkForce® or other GRACE safety device enters Man-Down Alarm Mode when the Motion Sensing Timer counts down to zero.

Monitoring Authority : The Monitoring Authority is the person/ people responsible for monitoring the status of the devices used by the various on- scene personnel, usually from a centralized base location.

PAR: P ersonnel A ccountability R eport is used to prompt the person wearing the WorkForce® to acknowledge a PAR-request sig- nal sent from a Grace-Watch® software monitoring system. This is designed as a periodic check-in for the WorkForce® user providing an indication of their well-being.

Radio Signal Propagation : Radio Signal Propagation is the behavior radio waves exhibit when they are transmitted. Radio Signal Propagation can be affected by structural, environmental, and atmospheric conditions.

Resetting the Device : Simultaneously pressing the side buttons resets the WorkForce®.

ROLL-CALL: Requires the use of a Grace-Watch® software monitoring system and is designed to signal the WorkForce® user of an escalated situation prompting the user to acknowledge their safety status immediately.

Sensing Mode : When the WorkForce® is turned on, it is in Sensing Mode. In Sensing Mode, the device is monitoring radio traffic for alarm messages. The WorkForce® is also sensing motion, if enabled.

Signal-Lost/Out-of-Range: Signal Lost is an indication that the user is beyond the effective signaling range of the WorkForce® and a Grace monitoring device or unit, such as a Grace GMG or GFG Gateway, MS2000, SMS or Grace- Watch® system

Unit ID : The Unit ID is the unique ID number assigned to the WorkForce® device for the purpose of radio communication. It can be viewed on the HID WorkForce® Configuration Tool.

Unit OEM : The Unit OEM is a number assigned to the WorkForce® device and is similar to the Unit ID. The key difference is the Unit OEM is not a unique number to each device. In most applications all of the WorkForce® devices will have the same OEM number; from the factory, this number will usually be 9090.

User’s Manual info: Survey Mode, WorkForce® Models WF1, WF2

1. The WorkForce® models WF1 and WF2 have a RF performance Site-Survey test mode, further referred to as “Survey mode”, whereby two WorkForce® units transmit and receive RF signals between them providing an indication of anticipated RF signaling performance when used in the environment that is being surveyed. Important, PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION ON THE SURVEY MODE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE A WorkForce® UNIT IN TO SURVEY MODE.
2. The WorkForce® Survey mode is operational between two model WF1 and/or model WF2 units and are not exclusive to any model, thereby allowing two model WF1 units, two model WF2 units or one of each (a model WF1 and a model WF2) to be used in this Survey

IMPORTANT NOTE: WorkForce® units placed in Survey mode are not operational as a safety device.

1. While WorkForce® units are in the  Survey  mode,  only  two WorkForce® units can be used at the same time for this purpose, however on-going use of other Grace devices (includ- ing WorkForce® units) can continue to operate, unaffected by the Survey mode

2. The WorkForce®  units,  when  placed  in  Survey   mode will assume a role of either roving-Primary or stationary- Secondary, determined by which WorkForce® unit was put in the Survey mode The WorkForce® unit powered on first and placed in Survey mode becomes the roving-Primary and the second WorkForce® unit placed in Survey mode becomes the stationary-Secondary.

3. The WorkForce® Survey test mode uses a method indicating a successful RF transmit and receive from both units. When in Survey mode, the WorkForce® does not Smart-signal® repeat other RF signals from other Grace devices nor will they trans- mit any polling signals. Typically, a WorkForce® model WF2 is used as the Primary and a WorkForce® model WF1 is used as a Secondary.

4. Placing the WorkForce® models WF1 and WF2 in to Survey mode is done using this sequence:

IMPORTANT NOTE: WF1 can only enter the Survey mode within the first 15 seconds after powering on the WF1 unit. (Lone Worker models are automatically powered On by disconnecting the WorkForce® from the Charger Adapter.)

1. With the unit turned off, power on the WorkForce® unit by pressing and releasing both side buttons
2. The WorkForce® model WF2 will use a menu and display to enter Survey After powering on the WF2, use the MENU button to index the display showing message “Hold Select 3Sec for Setup Mode” and then press and hold the Select button for 3+ seconds to enter Setup mode. Once in Setup mode, press the MENU button to navigate to the “Radio Survey Mode” menu item and enable the Survey mode by pressing the SELECT button. To exit Survey mode, press and release both side buttons (MENU and SELECT) and then again press and hold the MENU and SELECT buttons simultaneously to power off the unit.
3. The WorkForce® model WF1 is placed in Survey mode after

powering on by pressing and holding the unit’s SELECT button (on the antenna side) and then the TOP button both for 3+ sec- onds until a double- chirp beep tone sounds, indicating Survey mode is entered. Note : Lone Worker models are automatically powered On by disconnecting the WF1 from the Charger Adapter.

1. Once the first WorkForce® unit is placed in Survey mode, THERE IS A REQUIRED 20+ SECOND WAITING PERIOD before placing the second WorkForce® unit in to Survey After the 20+ second wait period, the first WorkForce® unit begins transmitting the Survey mode signals every 2 seconds indicat- ed by the red LED transmit indicator and the audible two-tone (high to low) chirp sound.
2. The first WorkForce® unit placed in Survey mode will automatically become the roving-Primary after 20+ seconds, assuming there are no other WorkForce® units present that are already in roving-Primary Survey mode. After the  20+  second wait period, the second WorkForce® unit is to  be  powered  on and placed in Survey mode and will automatically become the stationary-Secondary unit if it receives the Survey RF signal from another WorkForce® already in roving-Primary Survey

Once the WorkForce® units are successfully placed in their respec- tive Survey modes, the roving-Primary WorkForce® unit will emit two separate audible two-tone chirp sounds indicating successful signaling between the roving- Primary and stationary-Secondary WorkForce® units.

2. While the WorkForce® units are in Survey mode, the recommended method used to survey an environment  is  to  place the stationary-Secondary WorkForce® unit at the physical location that is intended to be the monitoring place for worker alarms from all WorkForce® users, or the location that a Grace Repeater would be placed, for large areas. Then a user is to carry the roving-Primary WorkForce® unit to various locations in your facility or environment while listening to the  audible  chirp sounds, realizing that a change (not hearing the second two-tone audible sound) will be noticed if the signaling links between the WorkForce® units are not

It is recommended that  if  available,  a  WorkForce®  model  WF2 is used as the roving-Primary unit  as  there  are  both  audible  and visual (via OLED display) indications of successful signaling performance including a resettable counter that shows  the number of attempts and successes of each set of test signals sent and received every 2 seconds.

The Survey mode test signals are repeated by Grace telemetry system Repeaters and other Grace fixed monitoring equipment including MS2000 series units.
