General...

SOLO is intended to supplement any existing protection systems already in use.

It is often the case that deck workers will find their selves alone on open deck areas, working in tanks, cofferdams, cargo holds…etc…etc for protracted periods i.e. during upgrading, repairs and routine maintenance scheduled duties.

SOLO consists of a portable hand carried alarm and emergency transmission unit powered by high capacity lithium polymer (LiPo) rechargeable batteries. A key switch is provided to activate the unit and start the interval timer; once the unit is activated the key can be removed and carried by the worker for safety.
The interval timer is set to 15 mins and should be reset periodically using the portable “key-fob” sized wireless transmitter which has an 150m range and is paired to its individual base unit.

During normal operations the worker should press the key-fob TX's reset button at any time during the interval time (15mins), this will reset the timer to zero. If the worker – for whatever reason - is unable to use the wireless reset the interval timer will run its course and then activate the staged alarms.
