Senstar Corporation T1FG1601 User Manual

This instruction sheet details the procedures for using 
Senstar’s Personal Protection Device (PPD) with the 
Flash Personal Portable Alarm System and the Flare 
Personal Alarm Locating System.

The PPD is a belt-worn radio transmitter, which 
communicates a personal duress condition to a security 
station computer when activated. With the Flash system, 
a unique PPD ID displays on the Flash computer’s 
screen when a PPD is activated. With the Flare system, a 
unique PPD ID displays along with a site map, which 
indicates the specific location of the emergency 
transmission. Pressing a large, easily accessible button 
activates the PPD transmitter. Optionally, a pull-pin and 
lanyard, or a configurable man-down tilt alarm feature will 
activate the PPD.
