General Overview

2 M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide

General Overview

The M310 Fall Management System consists of pressure-sensitive

Sensormat pads which detect the presence of a patient/resident, and a

monitor which provides staff with alert and alarm information.

The monitor provides two types of audible alerts, Pad Exit Alarm and

Trouble Alarm, and two types of operational Conﬁrmation Tones,

positive or negative.

If the patient/resident exits the pad for longer than a pre-selected

number of seconds (0, 2, or 4), the monitor provides visual and

auditory alarms to alert staff that the patient/resident may need

immediate assistance.

If a technical problem prevents the pad from monitoring (e.g., pad

or nurse cable disconnect, low battery condition, etc.), the

monitor provides visual and audible alerts to notify staff that the

patient/resident is no longer being monitored.

If a Nurse Call system is connected, alerts can be sent to the Nurse Call

station. The staff member, having been alerted that a patient/resident

is exiting the bed or chair, can counsel the person by intercom (if

available), or provide immediate assistance.

All audible alarms can be cancelled by pressing the Reset button on the

front of the monitor.

Reset Button

The reset button is used to display the monitor’s status

without disrupting the monitoring session, to mute

audible alerts, or to put the monitor into Hold Mode.

Hold Mode is used to suspend patient monitoring to

allow staff to move the patient temporarily (adjust

bedding, trip to the toilet, etc.)

Button press duration variations are as follows:

• A short press is used to display the monitor’s status or cancel any

audible alarms.

• A long press, more than 3 seconds, is used to place the monitor in

Hold Mode for 2 minutes (120 seconds).

Status Indicators

Pad

This LED indicates when a pad is

disconnected, or when two pads are

being monitored simultaneously. PAD

icon ﬂashes, and honk alert sounds

every 5 seconds while 2 pads are being

monitored.

Nurse Call

Indicates when the monitor is set to remote alert using the Nurse Call

system but the cable is unplugged.

Battery

This LED ﬂashes YELLOW on low battery, or steady GREEN with

YELLOW ﬂashes when connected to a power supply and batteries are

low or not installed.

Hardware Features

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 5

Wheelchair Mounting Clips

Use the small metal clip to attach the

monitor to surfaces up to 5/16” thick (e.g., the

back of a wheelchair).

Use the large wire clip to attach the monitor

to surfaces 5/16” to 2¼” thick (e.g., the

headboard of a bed).

For more information, see “Monitor Mounting/Installation Options” on

page 14.

Wall Mounting Bracket

Use the supplied plastic wall mounting bracket to attach the monitor

to a wall with the built-in guide rails.

Battery Cover

The battery cover is used to protect the batteries

and the settings area (alert volume, tones, etc.)

Check that the battery cover retention screw is

tightened to avoid batteries accidentally falling

out if the monitor is dropped, and to reduce the

possibility of battery theft.

For more information, see “Replacing Monitor

Batteries” on page 10.

Settings

Behind the battery cover, there are buttons and

switches used to control audible alert selection,

volume, and alert delay times.

The play and record buttons, and the microphone

are used to record custom audible pre-alerts

messages of up to 15 seconds duration, after

which the alarm sounds. The hole to the right

of the buttons allows visibility for the LED which

indicates recording in progress.

DIP switch 1 is used to enable/disable audible

alerts. DIP switch 2 is used to select between “Normally Open” and

“Normally Closed” Nurse Call systems. DIP switch 3 is not in use.

Hardware Features

Power Supply Connector

This is used to connect a 5V power supply.

Nurse Call Cable Connector

This is used to connect a Nurse Call cable.

Sensormat Pad Connectors

These are used to connect 1 or 2 Sensormat pads.

Additional Features

The monitor includes a latex-free rubber bumper around the perimeter

to protect the monitor damage by dropping.

Alerts and Status Indicators

LED use during normal conditions is minimized to help extend the

monitor’s battery life. State changes are triggered by incoming events

such as a press on the monitor’s Reset button, a change to the Nurse

Call jack (plugged or unplugged), low battery condition, etc.

LED alerts are displayed via the Reset button and the status indicator

LEDs.

Reset Button Red LED

The Reset button ﬂashes red to indicate that an

unexpected pad exit has occurred. The alarm LED is easily

seen from a distance of 4 meters in normal facility lighting

conditions unless direct sunlight is falling on the monitor.

Reset Button Green LED

The Reset button ﬂashes green while it is being armed,

when it is in Hold mode, and once when an alarm is

canceled.

Hardware Features

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 7

Yellow Status Indicator Icons

Yellow indicates equipment trouble, including low battery or

supervision alarms when communication is lost. Yellow accompanied

by an alarm indicates a problem that prevents the monitoring of a

patient/resident on the pad.

Audible Alerts

The monitor provides three types of audible alerts: Pad Exit Alarm,

Trouble Alarm, and Conﬁrmation Tones.

Pad Exit Alarms

Pad Exit Alarms are sounded when a patient/resident ceases to be

monitored by the Sensormat pad.

There are 4 alarm tone sequences associated with the red alarm LED

ﬂashes. The choice of alarm or trouble tone depends on the TONE

switch setting. Conﬁrmation tones and alert tones are not affected by

these settings.

Trouble Alarms

Trouble alarms are indicated by a negative tone when system problems

are detected. Trouble Alarm tones are sounded once every 5 seconds

and associated with the status LED (yellow ﬂashes):

• One sound (low) in a sequence of 3 beeps

• Two sounds (low high low high) in a sequence of 4 beeps

• Two sounds (high low high) in a sequence of 3 beeps

Conﬁrmation Tones

Conﬁrmation Tones (positive or negative) are sounded to verify

successful operations. These tones are much quieter than the Alarm

tone and cannot be cancelled:

• A positive conﬁrmation tone indicates a successful association of

monitor and pad, or on pad monitoring is arming.

then ﬂashes rapidly for the ﬁnal 5 seconds, at which point a

conﬁrmation tone sounds to indicate that Hold Mode is over.

Monitor Setup

10 M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide

4. If more time is needed, press and hold the Reset button for 3

seconds or longer again. A new 2 minute period is added to the

timer.

5. When the timer runs out, the monitor resumes normal

operation.

Arming the Monitor

Once connected to the pad, and with no patient/resident on the pad,

the monitor waits for a patient/resident to get on the pad.

When a patient/resident has been detected to be on the pad the

Reset button ﬂashes green for 3 seconds before arming. The arming is

indicated by a positive conﬁrmation tone plus a long green ﬂash.

Any exit from the pad during the ﬁrst 3 second ﬂash period cancels the

arming process.

After arming, the monitor will sound a Pad Exit alarm on a pad exit.

Batteries and External Power

The monitor’s batteries will last at least 365 days (1 year) while

monitoring a person on a pad.

Note: We strongly recommend that you remove the batteries if

the monitor will not be used for an extended length of

time.

The Battery Status Indicator LED ﬂashes a yellow warning (with a

conﬁrmation tone) when the monitor batteries are low (approximately

within 7 days of depletion). These sequences repeat until the batteries

are replaced.

Replacing Monitor Batteries

To Remove Batteries

1. Remove the battery cover screw, and the cover.

2. Remove the batteries, ensuring that you remove the positive

end of each battery ﬁrst.

Note: Dispose of used batteries according to your local

environmental laws and guidelines.

Monitor Setup

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 11

To Insert Batteries

1. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, by pressing

the negative end of each battery into the corresponding spring,

then sliding the positive end into the contact.

The monitor immediately performs a self-test. The LEDs ﬂash in

all colors and the speaker sounds.

2. Replace the battery cover, and insert and tighten the cover

screw.

External Power

External power may be used but the batteries must be installed

for back-up power. When external power is used and batteries are

installed power is drawn only from the external power.

The external power adaptor used must supply 5V/1A only. Currently,

model FRM015-505-x, (sold by STANLEY) is the only approved power

supply for the M310.

Using Sensormat Pads

Locate the Sensormat pad either on a bed or chair, directly underneath

the patient/resident.

Either 14-day or 6-month (180-day) pads can be deployed with the

monitor.

Note: Pads should be replaced on or before their warranty

period expiry date (indicated on pad).

Sensormat pads are designed to sense body-weight distributed over an

area.

Pad testing should be done either by sitting or lying on the pad, or by

pressing down ﬁrmly with the palm of your hand.

For more information on pad testing see “Testing the Sensormat Pad”

on page 12.

On a Bed

Place the Sensormat pad across the width of the bed, ON TOP OF THE

MATTRESS.

A top sheet and/or incontinence pad may be placed above the

Sensormat pad.

Monitor Setup

12 M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide

The preferred pad location is directly under the patient/resident’s

buttocks three to ﬁve inches below the bend in the mattress when the

head of the bed is elevated.

Effective operation of the Sensormat pad in the alternative location,

behind the patient/resident’s back, is dependent upon their weight

and the articulation angle of the bed.

Sensormats may not be effective with air type bed mattresses. Test

before using. See “Testing the Sensormat Pad” on page 12.

The use of anti-skid strips to secure the Sensormat pad to the mattress

is optional.

On a Chair

Place the Sensormat pad across the width of the chair or wheelchair

seat. For best sensitivity, place the Sensormat pad above any other

pads.

An incontinence pad may be placed above the Sensormat pad.

Adjust the position so that it ﬁts directly under the patient/resident’s

buttocks. The most favorable location is toward the rear of the seat,

close to the chair back.

Sensormats may not be effective with air type chair cushion pads. Test

before using. For more information, see “Testing the Sensormat Pad”

on page 12.

The use of anti-skid strips to secure the Sensormat pad to the seat of

the chair is optional.

Note: Once the patient/resident sits on the pad, there is a 3

second delay, before the monitor arms, allowing time

for the patient/resident to shift around slightly until a

comfortable position is achieved.

Testing the Sensormat Pad

Test the Sensormat Pad before ﬁrst use, each time the system is put

into use, and daily thereafter, as follows:

1. Plug the pad into the monitor.

2. Gather the equipment together: monitor and Sensormat pad.

3. Activate the monitor.

Monitor Setup

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 13

4. Press the monitor’s Reset Button to conﬁrm that the status LED

ﬂashes green, and ONLY Green.

CAUTION: If a yellow ﬂash is seen, diagnose the problem using

the LED and Audible Tones table on page 7.

5. Replace monitor batteries if a low battery is indicated.

6. Apply FULL and FIRM PALM pressure with your hand to the Pad

for more than 3 seconds.

7. The Monitor should ﬂash its Status LED green for 3 seconds and

then sound a low-high conﬁrmation tone followed by a long

green ﬂash.

8. Release hand pressure. After a delay up to 4.75 seconds

(depending on conﬁgured delay settings), the Monitor should

generate a Pad Exit alarm, continuously ﬂashing the Alarm LED

red and, unless a Nurse Call system is connected and the volume

is set to NC, sounding the Pad Exit Alarm.

9. Press the Reset button on the Monitor to silence the alarm.

10. If the Monitor is used with a Nurse Call system, verify that an

alarm was triggered on that system.

11. If the Monitor did not signal a Pad Exit alarm properly, try

checking all connections, then re-connect the pad and repeat all

the above tests.

12. If the Pad Exit alarm still does not sound, DO NOT place the pad

or the monitor into service.

Changing the Sensormat Pad

To change the Sensormat pad while monitoring a patient:

1. Put the monitor in Hold Mode, and remove the patient/resident

from the bed/chair. (See “Hold Mode” on page 9.)

2. Remove the old pad from the bed or chair.

3. Unplug the old pad from the monitor.

4. Replace the pad.

5. Plug in the new pad.

6. Verify the proper installation by following the instructions on

the pad.

7. Test the new pad’s functionality.

Monitor Mounting/Installation Options

14 M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide

Monitor Mounting/Installation Options

The monitor may be mounted on a chair, a wall, a bed footboard, or a

wheelchair.

CAUTION: Do not place the monitor within 1 ft. (0.3 meters) of

and facing the patient/resident. However, placing the

monitor on a wheelchair back is acceptable as long as

the monitor is facing away from the patient/resident.

Wall Mounting

To mount the monitor on a wall, you will need a Wall Mount Bracket

Kit (0903-019). The mounting bracket should be attached to the wall

with the included screws or Dual-Lock® fastener.

If you are using a Nurse Call system, you will also need a ¼” jack

connected Nurse Call Cable. A grey 8 ft long ¼” jack to ¼” jack cable is

available separately from Stanley Healthcare (0707-569).

1. Attach the Wall Mount Bracket to a vertical surface using the

provided screws, or Dual-Lock fasteners for easier removal.

2. Install the bracket on the wall when monitoring persons in bed.

3. To attach the monitor to the bracket, slide the monitor down

into the bracket from the top until the release button clicks.

4. Insert the Nurse Call cable jack into the Nurse Call receptacle

on the monitor. Plug the other end into the installed Nurse Call

system receptacle.

Strain Relief

Two strain relief mechanisms are built into the wall mounting bracket:

Monitor Mounting/Installation Options

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 15

These are designed to help prevent cables from disconnection or

breakage.

The left side is for the Nurse Call and power cables.

• It is designed to support both the power cord (diameter TBD) and

Nurse Call cable (0.2”) at the same time

• If only the power cord is used, 2-3 loops should be made to keep

the cord securely in place

• If only the Nurse Call cable is used, one loop is enough

The right side is for one or both pad cables.

• It is designed to support two corded pad cables at the same time

• If only one pad cable is used, 2-3 loops should be made to keep

the cable securely in place

Install power cord and Nurse Call and pad cables as illustrated.

Chair or Bed Footboard Mounting

To mount the monitor on a chair or on a bed footboard that are more

than 5/16” thick, you will need a large wire clip (0120-123).

1. Slide the wire clip into the slots on the back of the monitor.

2. Use the clip to attach the monitor securely to the back of the

chair, in a place that the patient/resident cannot easily reach.

3. Ensure that the monitor is clipped to the outside of the chair to

reduce any discomfort for the patient/resident (the monitor’s

speaker will be facing away from the patient/resident as well).

Interfacing with a Nurse Call System

The monitor can be used to trigger a Nurse Call system that works with

call button circuits that are either Normally Open (closing when the

call button is depressed), or Normally Closed (opening when the call

button is depressed).

If an active Nurse Call system is connected, a positive conﬁrmation tone

will sound. The Nurse Call icon will ﬂash yellow when the Nurse Call

cable is being connected or disconnected, when the monitor is set to

N.C. volume setting.

The monitor accepts a common ¼” mono plug that can be wired to a

Nurse Call system. The monitor will sound a beep if a Nurse Call jack is

inserted or removed while monitoring a patient/resident on the pad.

Monitor Mounting/Installation Options

16 M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide

If the Nurse Call jack needs to be adjusted while a patient/resident is

on the pad use the “Hold Mode” to allow this. When installing a Nurse

Call jack, we recommend using the wall mount bracket in the manner

shown, which provides cable restraint to help prevent accidental

unplugging of the jack. In order to provide proper cable restraint, the

cable (up to 0.25” in diameter) should be inserted before the monitor

is placed on the wall mount bracket. Any Nurse Call cable must be

located in such a way as to not pose a risk of strangulation.

If your Nurse Call system does not provide a compatible input or if you

want to wire a push button cord in parallel with the monitor, contact

your biomedical department to obtain the appropriate adapter. The

monitor does not have an input to allow a push button to be wired in

parallel.

If requesting information on interfacing the monitor to a Nurse Call

system, please have the following information available:

• The brand of your Nurse Call system

• A description of the system’s call cord or pillow speaker, including the

type of plug and number of pins in the plug

• Whether your Nurse Call system is Normally Open or Normally Closed

If this information is not available, you may still contact us for

assistance, and we will be glad to help you.

Monitor Mounting/Installation Options

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 17

Nurse Call Alarms

The Nurse Call jack can be used in all 3 Alarm volume settings (1, 2,

3, and NC). When a Nurse Call jack is plugged in and the monitor’s

alarm volume is set to “NC”, alarms are muted on the monitor. The

“NC” volume setting is treated as a 1 setting if no Nurse Call jack is

connected.

Note: An alarm sent to the Nurse Call system cannot be

cancelled from the monitor alone. After dealing with

the patient/resident according to your care policy, the

alarm must ﬁrst be cancelled on the monitor, and then

at the Nurse Call system. Refer to the Nurse Call system

Maintenance

M310 Fall Monitor – Setup & User Guide 19

Maintenance

The monitor and the Sensormat pad may be cleaned with a damp cloth

or sponge using mild disinfectants. Never use alcohol, acidic or harsh

petroleum-based cleaners.

The monitor tolerates all EtO (ethylene oxide) gas sterilization

processes below 70ºC. Other types of gas sterilization are NOT to

be used on the monitor (e.g., formaldehyde, chlorine or hydrogen

peroxide). Do NOT sterilize the Sensormat pad.

To ensure maximum performance, follow these guidelines:

• Replace the Sensormat mat every 14 or 180 days (six months),

depending on the pad type.

• If maintenance or opening of the monitor is required, it should be

performed in a static-free environment by qualiﬁed personnel.

• Replace the batteries in the monitor upon low battery signal.

• Replace the batteries in the cordless pad transmitter upon low

battery signal.

• Perform regular checks on the monitors (status and connections).

Note: The Sensormat Pad is for single patient/resident use only.
