Introduction
SuperCELL® Model SC500-LW-GPS is an intrinsically safe,
high performance, RF-wireless, emergency signaling and
monitoring device which provides Man-Down monitoring
and notication for personnel working alone in hazardous
environments.
A self-contained GPS continuously tracks location and
transmits this location along with the user’s status to other
Grace Telemetry products, including the MX900H.
Features
• Location: Tracking the location of the SuperCELL® is
possible outdoors with built-in GPS, or indoors when used
in conjunction with the Grace Locator Beacon and Grace-
Watch® safety monitoring system.
• Alarm Monitoring: Alerts the Lone Worker that a GRACE
Man-Down telemetry device, within signaling range, is
transmitting an alarm message.
• Auto ON/OFF: SuperCELL® is turned On and O by
removing or inserting the device into the Charging Base.
• Panic ALARM: Manually activated Emergency Alarm.
• Man Down Alarm: A safety monitoring feature which
provides the Lone Worker with motion sensing protection.
• Alarm Acknowledgment: When a SuperCELL® is in an
alarm condition, an Alarm Acknowledgment message
can be sent from an MX900 trainsceiver. This will clear the
alarm condition and display the Alarm Ack message.
• Canned Text Messaging: Allows the Lone Worker to send
and receive pre-set Canned Text Messages to other Super-
CELL® devices and In-Command® monitoring systems.

TURN ON: Remove SuperCELL® from the Charging Base.
TURN OFF: Insert SuperCELL® into the Charging Base.
PAGE NAVIGATION: Pressing the MENU/PWR button cycles
through the pages on the SuperCELL®.
MOTION ALARM: If SuperCELL® remains motionless for the
preset length of time, the SuperCELL® will sound a repeating
alarm tone and transmit man-down alarm messages.To clear
Alarm and reset the SuperCELL®, simultaneously press the
MENU/PWR and SEL/PWR buttons. Motion Alarm cannot be
disabled or adjusted by the user. Time to Alarm for SC500-
LW is set to 120 seconds unless other timing is specied.
Pre-Alert occurs after approximately 108 seconds of no
motion detected.
PANIC ALARM: Activate the Emergency Alarm by pressing
the top button. A Panic Alarm signal will be sent and ALARM
will be displayed. To clear Alarm and reset the SuperCELL®,
simultaneously press the MENU/PWR and SEL/PWR buttons.
EVACUATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT: If an Evacuate message
is received by the SuperCELL®, it can be manually acknowl-
edged by simultaneously pressing the MENU/PWR and SEL/
PWR buttons.
ALARM MONITORING: Alerts the Lone Worker that a GRACE
Man-Down telemetry device, within signaling range, is
transmitting an alarm message. This alert can be cleared
from SuperCELL® by simultaneously press the MENU/PWR
and SEL/PWR buttons.
NOTE: If an alarm has been received, SuperCELL® will not turn
o until the alarm has been cleared or reset. To force Super-
CELL® to turn o (even with an active alarm) hold down the Up
button along with both side PWR buttons.

Quick-Start Guide
Always test SuperCELL® prior to use
Low Battery Indication / Battery Charging
When approximately 3 hours of operating time remain
in standby mode, the SuperCELL® will display a plug icon
on the display status screen. The power-on tones are not
emitted when SuperCELL® has a low battery. Low battery is
also indicated by the Operational Status LED changing to a
periodic Red strobe. A double chirp sounds once every ve
minutes with audio enabled. Warning: There are no audible
low battery sounds with audio tones disabled.
When low battery is indicated, less than 3 hours of
operating time remain and the battery should be charged
immediately.
With the charger provided, recharge time is approximately
6 hours from a low battery warning and 9 hours for a dead
battery. Due to current limits imposed by Intrinsic Safety
requirements, a unit that has gone completely dead will
have to be removed from the charging base and reinserted
when the charging light turns Red. Typical operation time
between recharging is approximately 24 hours in standby/
ready mode.
Plug the charger into an outlet. It takes approximately 20
seconds for the Green charger LED to light up. If it does not
turn on or a Red LED turns on, then the battery is either too
hot or cold, or has a fault.
Charging is complete when the Green charge LED starts to
slowly ash.

Alarm Inhibit Timer:When the SuperCELL® receives an alarm
message from another device, and that alarm is cleared,
the Alarm Inhibit Timer provides a 30 second period of
time where the SuperCELL® will not receive another alarm
message from that same device.
Alarm Message: A radio transmitted signal sent from a
SuperCELL®, or other GRACE Industries telemetry device,
when the panic button is pressed for the purpose of notifying
monitoring personnel that an emergency situation is present
and rescue action is requested.
Alarm Mode: A SuperCELL®, or other GRACE Industries
telemetry device, is placed in alarm mode by pressing
the device’s panic button. When this occurs, the device
transmits an alarm signal and emits a loud alarm audio
tone.
Canned Text Message: Canned Text Messages are pre-
programmed, text based messages that can be sent from
one SuperCELL® to another.
Device Name: The Device Name is a pre-programmed name
assigned to the SuperCELL® device that can be viewed on
the Device Name and Run Time Display page.
Dilution of Precision: A term used in satellite navigation to
express the positioning accuracy of a GPS device.
GPS Status Icon: The GPS Status Icon appears on the Icon
Line of the Home Page when the GPS Location feature is
active. The icon changes based on the satellite x quality.
Home Page: The Home Page is the main page of the
SuperCELL® that is displayed on startup and any time the
device is reset. Displayed on this page is the status icons,
motion sensing timer, device OEM and ID numbers, and
the rmware versions loaded on the device.
Icon Line: The Icon Line is the display line at the top of the
home page that displays the device status icons.
Man-Down Alarm Mode: A SuperCELL, or other GRACE In-
dustries telemetry device, enters Man-Down Alarm Mode
when the Motion Sensing Timer counts down to zero.
Monitoring Authority: The Monitoring Authority is the
person/people responsible for monitoring the status
of the telemetry devices used by the various on-scene
personnel, usually from a centralized base location.
Motion Sensing Activation Icon: The Motion Sensing
Activation Icon appears on the Icon Line of the Home
Page when the Motion Sensing feature is active. The icon
changes as the devices senses motion.
Motion Sensing Timer: The Motion Sensing Timer indicates
the seconds of lack-of-motion required before the Super-
CELL® enters the Man-Down Alarm mode.
Radio Signal Propagation: Radio Signal Propagation is the
behavior radio waves exhibit when they are transmitted.
Radio Signal Propagation can be aected by structural,
environmental, and atmospheric conditions.
Resetting the Device: Simultaneously pressing the MENU/
PWR and SEL/PWR resets the SuperCELL® and returns the
display to the Home Page.
Sensing Mode: When the SuperCELL® is turned on, it
is in Sensing Mode. In Sensing Mode, the device is

appears on the Icon Line of the Home Page when the
Signal Loss feature is active.
Unit ID: The Unit ID is the unique ID number assigned to the
SuperCELL® device for purposes of radio communication.
It can be viewed on the device’s home page.
Unit OEM: The Unit OEM is a number assigned to the Super-
CELL® device, similar to the Unit ID. The key dierence is
the Unit OEM is not a unique number to each device. In
