Using the Monitor

Once connected to the pad, and with no patient/resident on the pad, the

monitor is ready for a patient/resident to get on the pad.

When a patient/resident has been detected on the pad, the Reset Button

flashes green for 3 seconds before arming, allowing time for the

patient/resident to shift around slightly until a comfortable position is

achieved. The arming is indicated by a Positive Confirmation Tone.

Any exit from the pad during the first 3 second flash period cancels the

arming process.

After arming, the monitor sounds a Pad alarm on a pad exit.

Note: The Floor Pad has no arming stage and alarms immediately upon

weight being applied.

Hold Mode (30 Seconds)

Hold Mode is used to allow the caregiver 30 seconds to remove a

patient/resident from a monitored pad without triggering an alarm. If the

patient/resident’s weight is applied to the pad (3 seconds of constant weight

pressure on the pad) while in Hold mode, normal monitoring resumes. A positive

tone is heard and the amber blinking stops.

1. While the patient/resident is being monitored on the pad, press and

hold the Reset Button on the monitor for 2 seconds*. An audible

indication “Hold mode 30 seconds” is announced.

2. A 30 second timer is set. The patient/resident can now be

removed from the pad without triggering an alarm.

3. The Reset Button flashes amber once per second for 30

seconds. When Hold mode is over, an audible positive

indication is announced.

4. To move out of Hold mode before the 30 seconds has passed, press

and hold the Reset Button for 2 seconds, or return the

patient/resident to the pad. The Reset Button stops blinking, followed

by a Positive Confirmation Tone. If there is weight applied to the pad -

the monitor will arm.

5. When the timer runs out, the monitor resumes normal

operation.
