What Is a Man Down Feature?

​

Man Down is a built-in safety function available on certain two-way radios. It automatically detects:

• Lack of movement over a set time

• A sudden fall or tilt (e.g. collapse or injury)

• Unresponsiveness from the radio user

When triggered, the radio sends an automatic alert — along with user ID and location — to a colleague, supervisor, or control system, ensuring fast and informed emergency response.

 

Key Features of Our Man Down Radios

​

• Automatic Alarm Activation

If the radio detects unusual tilt or inactivity, it sends an alert with no user input needed — crucial if a worker is unconscious or immobilised.

 

• Emergency Button

Workers can manually activate an alert at any time, ideal for escalating a situation quickly and discreetly.

​

• GPS Location Tracking

Know exactly where the worker is when an alert is triggered — ideal for outdoor, multi-site, or remote locations.

​

• Customisable Sensitivity Settings

Tailor the trigger time, tilt angle, and response delay to suit the task and environment.
