Fall Detector™ 312.00MHz User guide
Installation and User Guide Page 2 of 10 What is the fall detector? Your fall detector™ is a battery operated device containing a microprocessor, detector and a radio transmitter. It will automatically trigger an alarm call on your personal emergency response system if it detects that you have fallen. You can also use it to manually raise an alarm call. Activity indicator light Manual trigger button Belt / clothing clip Battery cover
Installation and User Guide Page 3 of 10 Wearing the fall detector Clip the fall detector to your belt or clothing in the upright position shown in the drawing. It needs to be in the upright position to reduce the possibility of false activation. Correct upright position Incorrect position NOTE: An optional Belt and Holster is available (Part Number D6609001C).
Installation and User Guide Page 4 of 10 Automatic fall detection • Green light and two "beeps" indicate that the fall detector has been activated. • The fall detector will then monitor for between 6 and 15 seconds to verify if there could have been a fall. The green light will flash while it does this. • If the detector has decided that there is a fall, then a red light and four "beeps" indicates that the fall detector is about to trigger an alarm call (because it has detected an impact and has not been upright for between 6 and 15 seconds). • If the detector has decided that it was activated by error then the green flashing light will stop after between 6 to 15 Seconds and the unit will revert to normal again. • Due to the complex dynamics of falling, all falls may not be detected. In this unlikely event the manual button can still be used to call for help. Manual operation • Press the button on the fall detector to raise a manual alarm call. • The fall detector will "beep" and a red light indicates the fall detector is triggering an alarm call. • If the red light flashes on and off, the fall detector is still triggering an alarm call, but is also indicating to you that the battery needs to be replaced. Remember, the fall detector will only detect you falling if you are wearing it.
Installation and User Guide Page 5 of 10 • The fall detector must be worn at or above the waist, where it will detect the maximum number of falls. • When removing the fall detector, handle carefully to avoid false calls, place it on an even surface in the upright position and preferably in the stand provided. • If the fall detector does wake up and beep when you know you have not fallen, you can prevent it raising an alarm by ensuring that it is returned to an upright position. • It is not recommended that you wear the fall detector whilst in bed, as normal movement in bed will cause the fall detector to trigger.
Installation and User Guide Page 6 of 10 Battery Replacement From time to time the battery will need replacing, you will know this because somebody from your monitoring service (if you have one) may inform you, or you may see the red light flashing rather than staying on continuously when a manual alarm call is made. • The unit automatically tests the battery several times within each 24 hour period. It is able to automatically generate an alarm call when low battery is detected. • If it is necessary for you to change the battery, the fall detector uses a 6 volt Duracell PX28L battery. • After a year the battery should be replaced. Contact your provider for a replacement. In many cases your provider will change the battery for you. On the back of this user guide is a handy table to help you remember when the battery should be changed.
Installation and User Guide Page 7 of 10 To replace the battery 1) To access the battery, remove the battery cover screw 2) Then remove the battery cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrow. 3) Remove battery and replace it with the new battery, remember to observe the correct orientation. When the battery is first placed in the unit an automatic test call will be generated (no lights will show and no buzzer will sound). 4) Replace the sliding cover and the screw. Test the fall detector by making a manual call. Inform the operator that you are making a battery test call. 5) If the device fails to make a test call then check the orientation of the battery. If this is correct then contact your supplier. NOTE: Dispose of used battery in accordance with the latest legislation. Do not dispose of in household waste. 123+-
Installation and User Guide Page 8 of 10 Care of the fall detector • Avoid getting the fall detector wet (if it does then dry it quickly and make a manual test call to confirm it is working correctly). • If required, the fall detector may be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent. • It is recommended that you test the fall detector once a month: • Make a manual test call. • Start with the fall detector vertical. Place the fall detector horizontal and then tap within 3 seconds after placing horizontal. After 5 Seconds the fall detector should beep and the green light start to flash. If you put the unit quickly back upright (in its stand, for instance), the alarm call will not be raised.
