The Badge PIT (Personal Infrared Transmitter) operates as both a PIT and a standard ID badge holder.
The method of attachment should adhere to internal protocol. This is generally round the neck via an anti-ligature lanyard or on a belt at waist level using a clip.
The Badge PIT is operated by pressing the large rubber button on the reverse side to trigger its primary level of call. With Twin Code PITs, however, the Assistance level of call is activated by pressing the small button on the top left of the reverse side. The standard ID badge is inserted into the card slot at the front of the Badge PIT.
The battery status is checked by pressing the small button on the top left on the reverse side. A green LED will illuminate to indicate that the battery strength is sufficient or a red LED to show that the batteries need replaced. In cases where this button already has another function (for example Assistance in Twin Code PITs), the LED will illuminate regardless of which button is pressed.
Caller ID is available with select units, meaning individual transmitters used to set off alarms can be traced/tracked.
The transmitter is available in multiple versions with different coloured button inserts to signify the level of call/alert:
Single Code
- Emergency (Blue)
- Emergency with Call Button Wireless Reset (Blue, with wireless reset symbol on unit)
Twin Code
- Emergency + Assistance (Orange)
- Emergency + Assistance with Call Button Wireless Reset (Orange, with wireless reset symbol on unit)
Other
- Emergency with Reassurance Button (Test/Reset) (Yellow)
- Patient Call (Black)
- Available with Caller ID
