THARSUS BUMP-718-F Proximity Module For Social Distancing Instruction

Manual

A – Introduction

A.1. Intention of Use

WARNING: The Bump Device and associated equipment are to promote safe behaviour only. They CAN NOT and WILL NOT prevent the wearer / user from contracting or passing on COVID-19 or other such airborne germs and viruses.
The Bump Device is designed to work exclusively with the Tharsus Bump Hub.
The Tharsus Bump Device is a wearable device which promotes social distancing.
Warnings are generated as wearers approach one another. These escalating warnings consist of different colouration of LEDs when personnel are at a critical distance.
The Hub plays no part in individual Bump interactions. But provides the means to download the individual Bump interaction data and upload to a cloud-based server for later analysis.
The data captured can be displayed to show items of personal interest within a facility.
The data could identify isolated large-scale incidents where social distancing measures were not being observed.
The Device is intended for indoor use only. Typical locations include offices, commercial premises, and locations such as shops and other retail outlets. The product is not intended for outside use or within facilities such as direct medical, airports or use within the presence of explosive atmospheres.
Please retain this user manual for future reference.

C. Set up and operation

C.1. Register your Bump

You will need email access and a Bump device.
Your Bump admin will provide you with a Bump pack and send you an email with your ‘My Bump’ sign up link.
Once you’ve received your pack, go to the registration link, enter your personal details, type in the Bump ID number (found on the back of the device) and sign up.
You will need to charge your Bump Device at the end of every day, use the supplied USB charging lead. Any USB adapter will be suitable.
Your Bump will Flash red when charging, then it will glow solid green when fully charged.

C.1. Understanding Bump

When Bump is in use, it gathers data on how many and the type of alerts the user has encountered throughout the working day. Introducing the hub. The hub is used to send your Bump data to the ‘My Bump’ cloud.
It is a white structure with a screen and will be located at a point you pass at least once daily. When you pass the hub it will show you your current near misses and potential transmissions.
You will also be able to see your data for the day (and for the last 7 days) on my.bump-space.com

C.2. Using your Device

Just keep wearing the Bump device, if you have any issues please tell your admin.
Each Bump device has it’s own unique ID and each should be owned by one wearer throughout to ensure data accuracy. Bumps have their unique ID code on the back of the device and all wearers can check their code when they log onto My Bump.
If not being worn, lie the device on its back. This will put into ‘sleep’ mode to conserve battery power.

C.3.  Alert types, and what they mean

Just keep wearing the Bump device, if you have any issues please tell your admin.
Each Bump device has it’s own unique ID and each should be owned by one wearer throughout to ensure data accuracy. Bumps have their unique ID code on the back of the device and all wearers can check their
code when they log onto My Bump. If not being worn, lie the device on its back. This will put into ‘sleep’ mode to conserve battery power.

C.4. Alert types, and what they mean

Bump alerts you whenever you begin to get close to another Bump wearer and again when you get too close.
A pale white light pulses every 10 seconds whenever you’re more than 2 metres away from other wearers. This is to let you know your Bump is active and no action is needed.
There are two alerts you need to watch out for. Alert 1. A deep blue constant light pulse

• and a single short chirp – tells you that you’re within 2 metres of another Bump wearer and you should move We call this a “near miss”. Alert 2. A constant red light pulse – and a sing alarm – tells you that you’re now less than 1.2 metres away from another Bump wearer and you must immediately move away. You’ll see these called “potential transmissions”.

D – Cleaning

D.1. Cleaning Overview

For the intended environments of use and limited potential for user interaction, it is not expected for the Device to become heavily soiled in use.
