The Automatic Distress Signal Unit (ADSU) is fitted to the BA set, and is turned on when the tally is removed.  The tally is then placed into the BA entry control board.  The ADSU emits a distress signal if the wearer is still for 30 seconds, or operated manually.  It can also emit an evacuation sound, which is identical to repeated blasts on an acme thunderer whistle.

This is the torch, made by Wolf, fitted to each BA set.
