Introduction
The 312 MHz Universal Sensor is a telecare sensor intended
for use with Tunstall Personal Emergency Response Systems
(PERS) operating on the frequency 312MHz. Please refer to
the Tunstall PERS documentation for compatibility and
related information.
The Universal Sensor is predominantly used either as a door
usage sensor (using the supplied door contacts), connected
to a bed sensor mat or connected to other devices that are
required to send radio messages to the Tunstall PERS.
The Universal Sensor;
Can be used either with external switching contacts or
the internal reed switch and is configurable for normally
open or normally closed switching contacts.
Is fitted with an RJ11 socket for connection to the
Tunstall bed sensor mat (part number D4106009A or
S2010004) for use as part of a virtual sensor application
or for sending activities of daily living data (ADLife).
Is fitted with an external on/off switch which can be used
to switch the Universal Sensor on or off if necessary.
This switch can optionally be disabled by a configuration
setting (see ‘How to Configure), if it is important that the
Universal Sensor should not be switched off.
Can be easily configured to generate different radio
messages that are appropriate to the equipment that the
Universal Sensor is connected to. This allows ‘plug and
play’ operation with Tunstall’s range of home units.
Incorporates an LED to indicate when the Universal
Sensor has been activated
Is powered by an internal battery with a minimum life of 5
years (typical usage). This battery is automatically tested
and when found to be low, an automatic radio signal will
be sent to the Tunstall PERS.

How to program to the Tunstall PERS
The Universal Sensor enables Plug and Play programming.
This is achieved by putting the Tunstall PERS into radio
trigger assign mode and then generating a radio transmission
from the Universal Sensor by activating the device to which it
is connected (e.g. door contacts, bed sensor mat).
1. Press the cancel button on the Tunstall PERS unit until it
beeps (some units will announce programming mode).
2. Press the cancel button again until the Tunstall PERS
beeps
3. Then activate the Universal Sensor by activating the
device to which it is connected (e.g. switch contacts, bed
sensor mat). The LED on the Universal Sensor should
flash to confirm a radio transmission has been sent.
4. The Tunstall home unit should beep to confirm the
Universal Sensor has been programmed to the unit
(some units will announce the name of the sensor that
the Universal Sensor is configured to e.g. ‘door sensor
programmed’)

Common set up examples
1. Virtual Bed Absence Sensor.
This is simply used to generate an alarm event if a client
has got out of bed for longer than a configurable time
and within a set time period. It relies on a period of bed
occupancy for at least 30 seconds before it is ready. The
Universal Sensor requires an input from a bed mat and
is set for normally open. All configuration of times and
monitoring periods must be set using PC Connect. Set
the Universal Sensor as follows;
BED ADLIFE
On/off switch disabled
Input NO
Battery connected
Connect the bed/chair mat to the universal sensor. Then
assign the sensor to the Lifeline by going into radio
program mode (see page 9) and activating the bed mat,
the red LED on the universal sensor will flash and the
Lifeline unit should respond correctly.
Cut off the unused wires and place weight onto the mat
for at least 60 seconds. Remove weight and check the
sensor transmits. You can set the Lifeline into walk test
mode to make this easier to verify and to test the radio
range (Lifeline will beep when in and out of bed).
Configure sensor location, virtual bed sensor times,
ADLife and other settings using PC Connect.
Installation and user guide
Page 13 of 20
2. Virtual Property Exit.
This is used to raise a simple alarm if a client opens an
exit door and does not return after a pre-configured time
and within a set time period. It relies on the use of
magnetic door contacts fitted to the exit door and a PIR
to detect activity through the door. Set the Universal
Sensor as follows;
DOOR
External switch enabled
Input NC
Battery connected
Assign the sensor to the Lifeline by going into radio
program mode (see page 9) and then holding the door
magnet to the side of the sensor where the reed switch
relay is located. Then remove the magnet (simulating
door opening). The red LED on the universal sensor will
flash and the Lifeline unit should respond correctly.
When configuring do not forget to allocate the location.
Connect the door contacts with the wires or use the
magnetic door contact with the internal reed switch. The
wires can be cut off if not being used. Install sensor
opposite the hinge side of the door and in line with the
magnetic door contact. Check with walk test that opening
and closing the door makes the Lifeline beep.
Assign a Fast PIR as a standard PIR and ensure it can
be fitted to monitor the door entrance.
The external switch on the universal sensor can be used
to disarm the virtual property exit sensor during an active
time period if required.
Installation and user guide
Page 14 of 20
Once set and during the set time period, the activation
process is started when the door is opened. If the PIR
does not see activity after that time and for a set period
then an alarm is raised. The door must be closed to
reset. Note it is important to fit the PIR so it does not
detect the person moving beyond the open door (i.e.
outside).
Configure sensor location, virtual property exit sensor
times and other settings using PC Connect.
3. Natural Gas
This is wired to a mains powered natural gas detector
that has a relay contact output. The Universal Sensor is
set as follows;
GAS
External switch disabled
Input NC
Battery connected
To assign to the Lifeline, go to radio program mode and
then touch together and release the two wires connected
to the universal sensor. The red LED on the universal
sensor will flash and the Lifeline unit should respond
correctly.
Connect the wires to the NC output of the gas detector.
Test the gas detector and check the Lifeline activates.

4. Property Exit
This is used to raise an immediate alarm when any
allocated door is opened. It can only be reset when the
door is closed again. It does not conform to any timers.
Set the Universal Sensor as follows;
PES DOOR
External switch disabled
Input NC
Battery connected
The external switch can be used to disable when
required otherwise an alarm will be sent every time the
door is opened. A magnetic contact is fitted to the
door/frame and the internal reed relay used to recognise
state changes. The wires on the universal sensor can be
cut off.
5. Bed Absence
This is used to raise an immediate alarm when a bed is
vacated. It can only be reset when the bed is occupied
again. It does not conform to any timers. Set the
Universal Sensor as follows;
BED ABSENCE
External switch disabled
Input NO
Battery connected
The external switch can be used to disable if required
otherwise an alert will be sent every time the bed is
vacated. A bed mat must be connected to the bed
sensor input socket (the wires can be cut off).
