IntroductionThe Wireless Sentry is a comprehensive multi-patient monitoring systemdesigned to alert care givers at a central location. Using 900 MHzspread-spectrum digital technology, this completely wireless systemprovides extended range performance for up to sixteen locations. Thesystem utilizes five main components – the 16-Station Receiver unit, theWireless Transmitter with Charging Cradle (Charger), the WirelessPendant, the Wireless Repeater and the Wireless Floor Mat. (The lastthree items are optional.)The Wireless Sentry system can monitor fall-prone residents from a bed orwheelchair and includes an “out-of-range” warning alert that sounds if theresident leaves a predetermined safe area.The Transmitter WT-2 is a resident-monitoring device, powered byrechargeable batteries (included), that can be programmed into theReceiver WR-3, which is located at the nurses’ station. Monitoring padsare available for use with the Transmitter for wheelchair and bedapplications.The optional Pendant WP-2 is a small, battery-operated device, about thesize of a stopwatch, that can be programmed just like a Transmitter. It canthen either hang on a cord around the resident’s neck or be strapped on the wrist. When the resident needs assistance, he or she presses a largebutton on the Pendant, and a silent signal is sent to the Receiver at thenurses’ station.The optional Floor Mat WFM-1 is equipped with its own programmabletransmitter and is placed beside a patient’s bed. When weight is placed onthe mat, the transmitter sends an alerting signal to the Receiver.The optional Repeater WSR-1 is a device, shaped like a Receiver, that isplaced on a wall or other convenient location between the Transmitter (orPendant or Floor Mat) and the Receiver. It boosts the signal from theTransmitter, effectively extending its range.1

Out-of-Range Monitoring (for Wireless Transmitter only)After being programmed into the Receiver, the Transmitter will send silentsignals to the Receiver approximately every 90 seconds to indicate that it is within a safe range. If the Transmitter is carried beyond the safe range(Out-of-Range), the Receiver will emit light and sound indications to alertthe care giver. These alerting signals can be reset in the same way as anormal alarm.Operating procedure in this case is the same as described above in AlarmSignals at the Receiver, except that the audible signal is a slow single-tonealarm.An Out-of-Range signal should never be ignored, since the patient isvirtually unmonitored while the Receiver is sending out this signal.NOTE: Out-of-Range is not checked when the Transmitter is turned off.Battery-Low IndicationAt the Receiver:When a Battery-Low signal is received, the corresponding LED will flashand a slow single-tone beep will be heard at the Receiver. (If the batteryvoltage drops below a certain level, the Transmitter will shut off to preventunpredictable behavior, and no signal will be received.)At the Transmitter:1.When the Transmitter battery runs low, the green LED on the Trans-mitter flashes and a Battery-Low signal is transmitted to the Receiver.2.The Transmitter should be put into the Charging Cradle for recharging.3.When the battery is fully charged, both Transmitter and Receiver will return to their normal state.Charging a TransmitterTo minimize the loss of battery power, it is a good idea to leave the Trans-mitter in its Charger overnight.Normal Charging:1.Switch off the Transmitter.13
2.Set the Transmitter into the Charger, being sure that the charging contacts on the bottom of the Transmitter touch the corresponding contacts in the Charger.3.The red LED on the Transmitter will flash when the battery is fully charged.Monitoring While Charging: NOTE: SPECIAL FEATURE!The Transmitter can monitor a patient even while it is recharging in theCharging Cradle. To do this: 1.Disconnect the monitoring pad and re-connect it to the jack on the Charger.2.Set the Transmitter into the Charger. The unit will provide normal service when the POWER switch is on.Transmitter Logout and Standby Mode“Transmitter Logout” deactivates a particular Transmitter, but does notcancel its programming. When a unit has been logged out, it is in Standbymode, meaning it is no longer active, but is still programmed. To log out a Transmitter:Press and hold the ALARM RESET button on the Transmitter until a longbeep is sounded. The local alarm and the ALARM LED will go off, and theunit will return to Standby mode.After log-out, the monitoring mat can be unplugged without triggering analarm. The out-of-range detection will be temporarily disabled. Pressingthe CHECK button on the Transmitter will still activate the station LED onthe Receiver. The Transmitter is still programmed, but is inactive (thestation LED will not light up when you press CONFIRM on the Receiver).To log in the Transmitter:The Transmitter automatically logs in again to the Receiver when thePOWER is switched on or the monitoring mat is re-installed.14
