Introduction
The Wireless Sentry is a comprehensive multi-patient monitoring system
designed to alert care givers at a central location. Using 900 MHz
spread-spectrum digital technology, this completely wireless system
provides extended range performance for up to sixteen locations. The
system utilizes five main components – the 16-Station Receiver unit, the
Wireless Transmitter with Charging Cradle (Charger), the Wireless
Pendant, the Wireless Repeater and the Wireless Floor Mat. (The last
three items are optional.)
The Wireless Sentry system can monitor fall-prone residents from a bed or
wheelchair and includes an “out-of-range” warning alert that sounds if the
resident leaves a predetermined safe area.
The Transmitter WT-2 is a resident-monitoring device, powered by
rechargeable batteries (included), that can be programmed into the
Receiver WR-3, which is located at the nurses’station. Monitoring pads
are available for use with the Transmitter for wheelchair and bed
applications.
The optional Pendant WP-2 is a small, battery-operated device, about the
size of a stopwatch, that can be programmed just like a Transmitter. It can
then 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 large
button on the Pendant, and a silent signal is sent to the Receiver at the
nurses’station.
The optional Floor Mat WFM-1 is equipped with its own programmable
transmitter and is placed beside a patient’s bed. When weight is placed on
the mat, the transmitter sends an alerting signal to the Receiver.
The optional Repeater WSR-1 is a device, shaped like a Receiver, that is
placed on a wall or other convenient location between the Transmitter (or
Pendant or Floor Mat) and the Receiver. It boosts the signal from the
Transmitter, effectively extending its range.

2. Turn on the unit by pressing the POWER button.
The red LED power indicator will go on.
3.. Program the Receiveras described below under Programming.
Station Index Card:
Use your fingernail or a coin to remove the clear plastic cover from the front
of the Receiver. Then, on the Card, write in the room number and/or name
of the resident to be assigned to each Transmitter, Pendant or Floor Mat.
Replace cover.
Locating the Receiver on a Wall or Desk:
Once the Receiver has been programmed, it can be placed on the wall by
inserting the two keyhole slots on the back onto the studs of a telephone
wall plate. Alternately, you can put two screws (included) or nails into a
convenient spot on the wall, with one screw located 2¾” above the other.
The screws or nails should extend 3/16” from the wall so that the keyhole
slots on the back of the Receiver can be slipped over them.
The Receiver can also be set up on a desk or counter by attaching the back
of the unit to the plastic Pedestal that is included in the packaging of the
unit. This sets the unit at a convenient angle on a flat surface.
Transmitter Setup
Replacing the Battery Pack: The Transmitter comes with a new,
rechargeable battery pack already installed. When it eventually becomes
necessary to replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Insert the tip of a large paper clip or similar object into the small hole
just above the battery compartment door. Press down while pushing
back the door in the direction of the arrow.
2. Remove the old battery pack. Follow instructions for safe disposal in
Safety Instructions for Transmitter Battery Pack on page 15.
3. Attach a new battery pack and insert into battery compartment. Snap
compartment door back into place.
Setting up the Charging Cradle:
Plug the adapter cable into the Charging Cradle (Charger) and then into
the wall outlet.
Setting up the Transmitter before programming:
1. Before using a particular Transmitter unit for the first time, charge it
for at least 14 hours by placing it into the Charging Cradle. The red LED
on the Charging Cradle will light when the Transmitter is properly
inserted. This procedure will help lengthen the life of the battery.
2. Slide the POWER switch on the side of the Transmitter to ON.
3. Set the ALARM switch on the side of the unit to select whether or not
an audible alarm sound is required when an alarm is active.
4. Program the Transmitter into the Receiver WR-3 according to the
directions in the Programming section below.
Pendant Setup
Replacing the Batteries:
1. Remove the 2 screws on the back of the Pendant and lift off the cover
of the battery compartment.
2. Pry out the old batteries with a pen or small screwdriver.
3. Place the new batteries into position, being sure to align the polarities
correctly. Match the “+”sign on the batteries with the “+”marked in the
battery compartment.
4. Before screwing the battery cover back in place, press the blue circle
on the front of the Pendant to be sure the batteries have been installed
correctly and are operational. The LED should go on.
5. Reprogram the device if necessary (see Programming below).
Setting up the Pendant:
The Pendant can either by placed around the resident’s wrist using the
white Velcro strap (included), or hung around his or her neck with the
looped cord (included).
Wireless Floor Mat Setup
Replacing the Batteries:
The Floor Mat’s transmitter comes with new batteries installed. When it
becomes necessary to replace them, use the following procedure:
1. Use a coin to remove the battery cover on the transmitter by placing it
in the slot and turning it slightly in a clockwise direction.
2. Pry out the old batteries with a pen or small screwdriver.
3. Place three new batteries into position, being sure to align the
polarities correctly. The “+” sign on each battery should be facing
upward.
4. Twist the battery cover back into place. The red LED on the transmitter
should blink briefly if the batteries are installed correctly and are
operational.
Setting up the Floor Mat:
Connect the Floor Mat transmitter to the jack attached to the mat. Be sure
the transmitter is positioned over the rectangular shape in the plastic case
on the mat, with the battery cover facing up. Reprogram the device if
necessary (see Programming below). Set the mat onto the floor beside the
bed where the patient is most likely to contact it if he or she leaves the bed.
Repeater Setup
1. Plug the AC adaptor into the wall socket and connect the other end to
the jack on the back of the Repeater.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the unit on.
The red LED should be on.
3. Program the Repeater (see Programming below).
4. Once the Repeater has been programmed, it can be placed on a wall
by inserting the two keyhole slots on the back onto the studs of a
telephone wall plate. Alternately, two screws (included) or nails can be
inserted into a convenient spot on the wall, with one screw located 2¾”
above the other. The screws or nails should extend 3/16”from the wall
so that the keyhole slots on the back of the Repeater can be slipped
over them. The Repeater should be located somewhere between the
farthermost Transmitter and the Receiver.
The Repeater can also be set up on a desk or counter by attaching the
back of the unit to the plastic Pedestal that is included in the package.
This sets the unit at a convenient angle on a flat surface.
5. Once the Repeater is set up, no further attention is required since all
alarm signals will be passed along automatically to the Receiver.

Out-of-Range Monitoring (for Wireless Transmitter only)
After being programmed into the Receiver, the Transmitter will send silent
signals 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 alert
the care giver. These alerting signals can be reset in the same way as a
normal alarm.
Operating procedure in this case is the same as described above in Alarm
Signals at the Receiver, except that the audible signal is a slow single-tone
alarm.
An Out-of-Range signal should never be ignored, since the patient is
virtually unmonitored while the Receiver is sending out this signal.
NOTE: Out-of-Range is not checked when the Transmitter is turned off.
Battery-Low Indication
At the Receiver:
When a Battery-Low signal is received, the corresponding LED will flash
and a slow single-tone beep will be heard at the Receiver. (If the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the Transmitter will shut off to prevent
unpredictable behavior, and no signal will be received.)
At the Transmitter:
1. When the Transmitter battery runs low, the green LED on the Transmitter 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 Transmitter
To minimize the loss of battery power, it is a good idea to leave the Transmitter 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 the
Charging 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 not
cancel its programming. When a unit has been logged out, it is in Standby
mode, 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 long
beep is sounded. The local alarm and the ALARM LED will go off, and the
unit will return to Standby mode.
After log-out, the monitoring mat can be unplugged without triggering an
alarm. The out-of-range detection will be temporarily disabled. Pressing
the CHECK button on the Transmitter will still activate the station LED on
the Receiver. The Transmitter is still programmed, but is inactive (the
station 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 the
POWER is switched on or the monitoring mat is re-installed.
