The universal transmitter can be connected to a third party device to initiate an alarm call on an Advent XT2 assisted living system, a Reach IP at-home alarm unit or a Carer Response local Carer alarm unit.
IMPORTANT: the device the transmitter is connected to must have a momentary action, normally open or normally closed, clean contact relay output.
The universal transmitter can be setup with the most relevant AALRP radio code for the type of device it is being connected to.
Positioning
The universal transmitter must be fitted indoors, normally within 0.5 metres
of the device being monitored. Select a position away from metal as this may
shield the radio signal and reduce its range.
Note: the trigger input cable provided can be replaced or extended if it is not practical to mount the transmitter within 0.5 metres of the device being monitored.
Alarm Condition
When the third-party device is activated an alarm call will be transmitted. A
new alarm will not be triggered until the device has reset and is activated
again.
Low Battery Condition
A low battery condition will be reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving
Centre (ARC) or the local Manager.
The universal transmitter battery should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.
Out of Range Notification (Reach IP)
The Reach IP can monitor all radio peripheral devices to determine whether they have been damaged or removed from an installation. Should the Reach IP be unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced immediately.
The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to 99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each peripheral device in Pulse CMP
Maintenance
Test the universal transmitter once every month
Disposal
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household
waste. The universal transmitter is ideally suited for disposal within the
waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact
your supplier for recycling/disposal advice
Warning
The universal transmitter contains a Lithium battery. If tampered with the
battery may be damaged and create a fire hazard. Do not incinerate.
How to install the Universal Transmitter
The universal transmitter is designed for internal use only, it is not
suitable for external applications.
Establish that the device you are connecting the transmitter to has a momentary action, normally open (or normally closed), clean contact relay output. Failure to check this may result in damage to the transmitter.
Where possible, the transmitter should be mounted alongside the device it is
being connected to so the 0.5m factory fitted cable can be used. Connect the
trigger input cable to the device output – polarity is not important.
