How does PatrolMan work?
The PatrolMan baton is a modern electronic replacement for the traditional night watchman's clock. Unique numbered clock points are located at strategic locations around your premises to ensure you and your property of maximum protection. (See picture) The Patrolman is issued with a stainless steel baton and during their patrol round the premises; the guard will swipe past these ID points with his PatrolMan baton.

Depending on the size of the property there are between 8 – 16 points on average
An LED (Light Emitting Diode) flashes when the tag has been read successfully.
At the end of the shift the guard hands in his PatrolMan baton in to be downloaded via a standard USB port to the PC. A number of different reports of various guard patrols can then be obtained. (See Software)
The PatrolMan baton stores the last 28000 transactions and each transaction stores the unique ID number of the Proximity Tag, as well as the Date, Time and Location of the tag point.
Proximity Points
These low-cost ID points all have their own unique alpha numerical number that is linked via software to each clock point. i.e. North west corner. Due to their stainless steel material used for the ID points, this makes them absolutely weather resistant and most suitable for use in harsh or even corrosive environments. They do not require any ongoing maintenance. The units can even be recessed behind concrete should you so wish.
The PatrolMan baton is rugged, manufactured from stainless steel and hermetically sealed, making it suitable for any environment, corrosive or otherwise.
It is shockproof and has been certified for use in hazardous areas “explosion protected Ex ib I T4”. Due to its high-capacity alkaline battery it has a lifetime of many years (3-7 years depending on usage) and is maintenance free. The batteries do need to be change every few years but other than that the unit is robust and reliable.
Simply mount the control point on any fixed object, one can get immediate reports on what has been checked, on which day and at what time.
The information can be downloaded directly into an industry-standard PC or via the Data Transporter Unit and we are available to give you a detailed demonstration of our products, which we feel you would find very interesting.
