Safety Regulations
Correct use
The HUB is part of an integrated Eleksen system which incorporates several elements.
The Eleksen Hub does not replace the primary safety devices.
This Hub and associated products and devices are designed to enhance the overall safety of the wearer. By giving local visible and audio alerts/alarms to the wearer and other people within the vicinity, so warning the user and fellow workers of the threat of danger.
Information gathered by the Hub from the associated devices will be
transmitted to the control centre. This information is gathered in real time
and used to identify any perceived danger areas.
This information can be analysed and presented using a management information
system to give tabulated or graphical displays to enhance health and safety
for the workforce.
When in use the Hub provides the wearer the ability to alert fellow workers and control centre, they are in distress. The Hub and garment will go into alarm mode:
- Hub will vibrate (Haptic)
- Hub LED lights will flash
- Hub will emit a loud sound
- LED on garment will flash red (colour is configurable at time of order)
- In the control centre the ‘Dashboard’ will also go into alarm status giving visible and audio alert
- Supervisor phone will be notified
- The Hub (wearer) will be identified and location displayed on the dashboard
- The nature of the alert will be displayed (i.e. SOS – Gas- Noise etc)
Appropriate action can be taken to address the alert Evacuation, Search and Rescue, supervisory intervention, local worker groups informed via the Eleksen communication system.
Product Description
Eleksen Connected Worker Solution
The garment has an array of sensors and devices that enable real-time monitoring and data analysis of multiple workers’ health, wellbeing, and exposure to potential hazards, and environmental and situational dangers such as noise, gas, vibration and dangerous proximity or collision. The data is collected and transmitted to the Connected Worker Platform which displays data from all specified workers simultaneously and in real time.
The smart worker platform allows real-time device validation, monitoring of and reporting on of the industrial workforce for health and safety in the field. It also optimizes the gathering of the data collected on a continuous basis for predictive safety improvements and increased productivity. Once the real-time alert, reporting and compliance data has been swiftly and securely acquired and stored, user organizations can interrogate and analyse it to reveal patterns, trends, causes, and opportunities to drive efficiencies.
HUB overview
The EleksenTM Smart Connected Hub, acts as both transmitter and receiver, that transmits data at a configurable interval period over a 12-hour shift, working in correlation with the EleksenTM Connected Worker Platform real-time module. This ensures that both the worker and the control centre are alerted to any imminent danger. If at any point the Hub loses cellular connection, it will continue to gather data and deliver alerts to the “worker”, and it will upload the missed data to the control centre once it comes back into range or alternatively when the HUB is plugged into the Hub Station. The stored data will be transmitted via WiFi to the dashboard.

OLED Screen Overview
Small icon
The top part of the OLED screen displays the Hub communication status.
There are three areas where the icons display/flash/disappear as the communication services are detected and activated. These three sections collectively inform the user the current Hub status.

Operation
Removing HUB from Hub Station
Only remove the Hub from the HUB Station when all LED’s are green.
Green status: HUB fully charged and ready for use.
Status RED: Do not remove Hub
Battery is not fully charged
Hub is undergoing a firmware update
Hub is uploading user data
HUB Removed from Hub Station
HUB behaviour when removed from HUB Station
When the Hub has been removed from the Hub station the OLED will be blank while the Hub performs a POST (power on self-test). During the POST the Hub will perform a range of LED/Haptic/Sounder test cycles as detailed below.
Firmware release format:
| Release level | DD/MM |
|---|---|
| V0.11 | 06 06 |
Hub removed from Hub station.
Connecting the worker ID to the Eleksen Hub Worker ID (ICEid)
- Touch ICEid tag against rear of Hub in area shown
- Hub screen Displays worker ID
NOTE: If worker ICE id is not peformed within approximately eight minutes the Hub will go into sleep mode to preserve battery life. If the Hub enters sleep mode please refer to 3.2.6 to re-activate the Hub and then return to 3.2.3
Connect devices to Hub using device ICEid tag/s
Continue to add devices as shown above.
The Screen will identify the devices attached and count the total number of devices paired with the Hub. When all devices are attached then attach the garment to the Hub.
Connecting Hub to garment
When garment is plugged into the Hub LED’s will flash green
This screen is dependant on worker profile on Eleksen dashboard
Worker not connected to Hub (not ICEid) for 8 minutes Hub enters sleep
mode.
To `wake up’ the Hub press the master button continually
