The monitored unit is adapted to transmit a periodic signal while the activities of the monitored object coincide with various threshold conditions. The monitored unit includes a plurality of indicators either visual or audio which inform the operator that the monitored unit has exceeded various threshold conditions. The monitoring unit includes a reset transmitter for actuating the monitored unit so that it produces either a continuous signal or a periodic signal. The monitoring unit further includes a homing mechanism automatically actuated upon receipt of either a continuous signal or an alarm signal by its receiver.
