WorkForce WF2

• Fall and no-motion sensing

  A gyro and accelerometer detect a fall of about 1.2 m or more, or no movement for the set time (90 s by default). A pre-alert of roughly 12–15 s sounds first, so a wearer who is fine can cancel it.

• An alarm you hear, see and feel

  The alarm sounds at 70+ dBA at 3 m (maker's figure) with flashing LEDs and vibration. The sound pauses briefly in each cycle to help rescuers tell which direction it is coming from.

• Emergency button, even when off

  Holding the emergency button for about 2 s sends a distress alarm whether the pendant is on or off. When ordering, the top button can instead be set to broadcast an Evacuate command.

• The screen shows who needs help

  When another Grace pendant in range goes into alarm, the colour OLED screen shows that worker's name and, with locator beacons or GPS, their location. Monitoring can be limited to chosen groups.

• Preset text messages

  Up to 80 preset messages, written on a Windows PC with Grace's configuration tool, can be sent from the keypad. The WF2 also receives messages from other WF2s, monitoring bases and Grace software.

• Evacuate, Abandon and range alerts

  Evacuate and Abandon signals each have their own tone and LED, and the wearer confirms receipt with the side buttons. An optional out-of-range alert warns the wearer on leaving the base's coverage.

   01

   The pendant goes into alarm

   A fall, the no-motion timer running out or the emergency button starts the alarm after a short pre-alert. The pendant sounds, flashes and vibrates on the spot and transmits an emergency radio signal.

2. 
   02

   Nearby pendants alert co-workers

   Pendants with alarm monitoring on ring and flash; a WF2 also names the worker and, with beacons or GPS, shows where they are. Two pendants make a Buddy set, three or more a Supervisor or Crew setup.

3. 03

   Repeaters stretch the coverage

   Grace gives about 1.6 km line of sight and about 18,600 m² indoors, depending on the building. Pendants relay signals, MR3 and T3 repeaters fill dead zones, and two units in survey mode can check coverage.

4. 
   04

   A base alerts the site

   On-site bases such as the MS2000X or the portable PWA receive the alarm and drive a light and siren, Grace-Watch PC software, or outputs to an alarm panel or SCADA. This route needs no internet or subscription.

5. 
   05

   A gateway reaches the cloud

   Gateways (GFG over Ethernet or Wi-Fi; GMG, MS3000X or PWA over cellular, some with Iridium satellite) pass alarms to Grace Cloud Connect, which alerts supervisors by SMS or e-mail. This link has a subscription.
