SUPERNET Digital

Personal Safety System

There are many high-risk establishments where the safety of the staff and residents is paramount requiring an immediate response to any incident affecting personal protection. Our system is readily adaptable to the many varying circumstances where such personal safety is required, such as prisons, hospitals or lone workers.

The Supernet Digital system can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as Hospitals, Prisons and other Secure Establishments, or where there is a risk to lone workers on large industrial or commercial sites.The system can be designed with varying levels of sophistication, to meet the precise needs of the area in which it is to be installed.

Alarm Initiation

This can be from simple pushbuttons, keyswitches and callpoints. In addition, the system can incorporate a wireless alarm segment, either as a separate system, or overlaid on the hardwired system for backup in highrisk establishments.

Text message for precise location

Once an alarm call has been triggered, the system will display the precise location with a text descriptor on the Supernet Digital control panel, which is generally located in the supervisor’s office. As well as this, the system can be designed to have lamp and buzzer units

to help locate the incident, and to ensure a quick, accurate response, we can also supply a high-visibility text message display, which can be read from 20 metres distance.

Alarm Prioritisation

The system can include different levels of alarm, requiring different responses. For example the input device could signal a Personal Attack, or a Nurse Call, or even a Door Status. Each type of signal can be displayed and outputs operated depending upon its importance.

Vandal-resistance

The simplest device is a pushbutton, which triggers an alarm when pressed. The standard alarm station uses a vandal-proof button with integral illumination. Pressing the button sends a signal to the Supernet Digital control panel, which in turn sends a confirmation signal to illuminate the button, so giving the user confidence that the event is being acted upon. The pushbutton alarm stations include an addressable communications module, which minimises cabling costs, and is fully monitored.

The standard unit is supplied with a stainless-steel flush fascia, and there are a range of sizes to fit many different backbox styles. Surface-mounting versions, pull-cord switches and other special sizes can also be supplied if needed. All units can be supplied with tamper-resistant screws for secure establishments.

Staff Alert Modules

Again there are a number of options. The simpler units have a large, high-visibility LED, which switch on to show the location of the alarm. These units can incorporate an audible warning. Because they are also fitted with addressable modules to minimise cabling, they can be programmed to your precise requirements, ensuring a speedy response to an incident.

Typically, they would be located in corridors outside the protected rooms, to guide staff. Allied to the text description from the Supernet Digital control panel, this makes the task of finding an incident much easier. These modules can be connected to the same cabling as the Alarm Stations, to reduce the installation costs.

Text Message Modules

The system can incorporate a high-visibility movingmessage display, which repeats the text description from the control panel, and would typically be located in Supervisor areas or Control Rooms. With 50mm characters, they can be read from a distance. If there are multiple events, they are displayed sequentially.

These units are also addressable, and each can be individually programmed to display any or all events from the systems.

Networking

In larger systems, the Supernet Digital control panels can be connected to form a network, so allowing events from many areas to be displayed Networking means that each area can retain stand-alone autonomy, while ensuring that there is site-wide supervision and control.

The system can include different levels of alarm, requiring different responses. For example the input device could signal a Personal Attack, a Nurse Call, or even Door Status. Each type of signal can be displayed and outputs operated depending upon its importance.
