Positioning

The sensor controller is free-standing, it is normally placed alongside or under the bed/chair being monitored.

Alarm Condition (Standard Sensor Kits)

The sensor controller can be supplied as a kit, either;
ZXT841: sensor controller with a bed sensor
ZXT842: sensor controller with a chair sensor
With these sensors an alarm can be raised either instantly the user leaves their bed/chair or after a 1 to 99 minute programmable absence period if they do not return. If they do not return and an alarm is raised but they are OK, then anoptional 1 to 99 minute programmable reset period can be set. If the user is not detected back in their bed/chair at the end of this period, then the alarm will be raised again.
Monitoring starts when the user has been in their bed/chair for 30 seconds (default logged in bed time). Continuous monitoring is possible if the controller is set to be on all the time. Alternatively, up to 3 active periods can be programmed to repeat every day. There is also the option toraise an alarm if the user is not in their bed/chair after a 0 to999 minute programmable delay from the start of each monitoring period. Monitoring will end at the end of each monitoring period unless the still in bed/chair option is set.
This is a 0 to 999 minute programmable period – if the user is still in their bed/chair at the end of this period an alarm will be raised.

Alarm Condition (Non-Standard Sensors)
The sensor controller and all sensor options are also available separately. With a Magic Stick or SensAlert bed/chair sensor an alarm can be raised either instantly the user leaves their bed/chair or after a programmable 0 to 999 second countdown delay. With a floor mat or door contact an alarm can be raised either instantly the user steps on the mat/opens the door or after a programmable 0 to 999 second countdown delay.
The alarm can be cancelled during the countdown by pressing the key.

Home/Away Mode
If the user is going to be away from home for a few days, the sensor controller has an Away Mode feature which suspends monitoring to prevent false alarms.
When the user returns home the unit must be switched back into Home Mode and normal monitoring will resume.

Carer Call
The sensor controller has a Carer Call button to make an alarm call at any time. An optional pear-push lead is also available to activate a carer call.

Low Battery Condition

If the mains power fails, the sensor controller will continue to operate from its battery. The length of time the unit will operate for on battery alone will depend on usage. When the battery is running low, the unit will beep and display “Sending a Low Battery Alarm”. When the battery is exhausted the unit will display “Low Battery – Controller is Powering Down” before turning itself off. When the mains power is restored it will need at least 8 hours to fully recharge the battery. The low battery beep can be disabled in programming.

Maintenance
Test the sensor controller once a month.
Check the condition of the mains adapter, sensors and leads, any damaged items should be replaced.
Clean with a damp cloth or anti-bacterial wipe, do not use solvents or cleaners.
Do not immerse the controller or sensors in water.

Disposal
**** Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste.

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.
