PRODUCT SHEET
Reliable messaging
Messages are presented in plain text on a large backlit LCD display, which
means they can be read even in the dark. Because it’s possible to acknow-
ledge a message, you will know your message has been received. When
you’re out of reach, the system will notify the person looking for you. The
moment you put your alarm unit in the rack charger, the system will be
notified that your are absent.
Prioritised messages
High priority messages can be programmed to be sent to the front of the
messaging queue, interrupting any ongoing messages. That way you can
be sure important messages reach their destination immediately.
Messages from machine to man
Both Ascom a71 versions can be programmed to receive vital information
from fixed systems, such as machines, building automation systems and
alarm systems. It’s also possible to acknowledge any information received.
Help is just a button-push away
You can pre-program different security alarms for different situations. In an
emergency, just press the alarm button. Or if the unit is taken from you by
force, an alarm will automatically be sent. Your position is located with excel-
lent accuracy, and back-up dispatched to your assistance without delay.

Man-down/No-movement alarm with pre-warning signal
An alarm is automatically sent if the user is in a horizontal position or
immobile for a pre-defined period of time.
A blink, vibration or beep signal will sound before the alarm is sent in
case the alarm was triggered accidentally, thereby eliminating false alarms.
IR & LF positioning in the same unit
Thanks to the IR & LF positioning features, the alarm can be used both
indoors and outdoors. Select the positioning system that best suits your
environment.
Convenient and smart
One of the most prominent features of the Ascom a71 is its size. The
messaging unit is large enough to display messages clearly and small
enough to be easy to carry. Thanks to a built-in antenna, users won’t have
to worry about it getting stuck in their clothes. Should the unit get stuck
all the same, a clip release function ensures it doesn’t break.
The Ascom a71 is available in two colours. Perfect if, for example, you
want to tell different users apart. The unit is also equipped with an ID label
for quick identification.
ATEX version
The Ascom a71 is also available in an ATEX version – approved for use in
potentially explosive environments.
