3. Lanyard
When wearing the fall sensor, it is recommended to adjust the lanyard so the fall
sensor is resting at the center of the breastplate.
4. Battery Compartment Cover
B. Low Battery Detection and Supervision
Fall sensor features Auto Low Battery detection and Supervision.
When a battery is detected to be below the low battery threshold, fall sensor
will automatically transmit a Low Battery detection & Supervisory code to detect
Low Battery every 24 hours. Once the Control Panel receives the Low Battery

C. How to Learn In Fall sensor
Fall sensor has a unique numeric code called “ID code”. The ID code enables the Control Panel to identify the signal is transmitted from the fall
sensor. 1.Put the Control Panel into Device Learning Mode
2.Press the Button on fall sensor, a radio signal will be transmitted to the control panel.
3.Please refer to the user manual for your control panel for further information on learning-in the fall sensor to complete the process.
D. Battery Life
The fall sensor uses one 3V CR2477 lithium battery as its power source. The fall sensor will have a typical battery life of 2 years with an average of one activation per day.
When the battery voltage drops below a certain threshold, a Low Battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel to notify the user.
When the fall sensor is triggered in a low battery state, the red LED will flash once to indicate the battery needs to be replaced.
It is not recommended to learn-in the fall sensor to the control panel while in a low battery state.
E. Usage Recommendation
