Remote Terminals
The 3M WS Aware Workstation Monitor utilizes two separate remote terminals, making it convenient for
each operator. Each remote terminal has two 3.5 mm jacks—one for the operator and another one for a
visitor. While both jacks provide grounding for the wrist straps, only the operator’s jack is monitored. If the
wrist strap is plugged into the visitor’s jack and the operator’s jack is empty, an alarm will sound.
A green LED on the front panel between the jacks indicates that the remote terminal is properly plugged
into the working WS Aware monitor. This LED does not provide an indication about proper wearing of the
wrist strap.
The WS Aware monitor offers a choice of two types of remote
terminals—regular and the 3M Big Brother Terminal (shown).
Big Brother terminals detect the presence of an operator and
sounds an alarm if an operator is present. A red LED on the
Big Brother terminal indicates the proximity of an operator
regardless of alarm status. Both terminals are interchangeable.
