Data logging
The Analox
Aspida
has a built in data-logging facility which will automatically log gas readings for all
fitted sensors and pressure, whenever the device is active. Readings are logged to internal memory at a
rate configurable through the user software. The device is capable of storing over 7 days of continuous
data. All data is logged with a date and time stamp, and where multiple users are registered with the
device, each set of readings is logged against the selected user ID.
The data-log can be downloaded from the device for analysis using the
Aspida
configuration software.
See the
Aspida
configuration software manual for instructions.

Man-down alarm
The Analox
Aspida
is equipped with a man-down alarm which is disabled by default. If the man-down
alarm feature is enabled the
Aspida
device will monitor any movement the device is subject to. If the
user who is wearing the alarm is somehow incapacitated, an alarm will be sounded to alert others in the
nearby area of the accident.
NOTE:
By default, the feature is disabled. Enabling or disabling the alarm is performed using the
Aspida
configuration software (see the section on alarm settings for further details).
If the man-down feature is enabled, the device will sound a low volume pre-warning alarm after it
detects no movement over a period of 4 minutes. The pre-warning alarm will sound for a period of 1
minute, during which a simple shaking of the device or pressing the
button will reset the alarm
timer. If after this 1 minute period there has still been no movement detected then the device will
activate its ultra loud siren to warn others of the incident. Once the high volume alarm has been
activated, the alarm can only be cancelled by pressing the
button. During a man down alarm
condition, following screen will be shown.

WARNING:
Care must be taken whilst using the
Aspida
device with the man down alarm
enabled. If the device is detached from the user's person and left on a stationary surface, the
man-down condition will be triggered. This can lead to unintentional activation of the very
high volume siren. As this siren sounds in excess of 100dB, this may be potentially harmful to
hearing. To avoid nuisance alarms, the device should be switched off when left unattended.
NOTE:
The man-down high volume siren causes a large strain on the
Aspida
’s
batteries and as such,
the expected operating period for the device is significantly reduced if the man-down alert is frequently
triggered or allowed to run for extended periods of time.
NOTE:
Use in a moving vehicle may provide enough movement to defeat the man-down detection
NOTE:
Man-down is disabled if the instrument is connected to USB or charger.
