Pendant Transceivers
A Pendant transceiver is a wireless, mobile transceiver that can be worn around the neck
or wrist, or attached to a belt. To prevent damage to the Pendant transceiver, avoid any
submersion or submersion deeper than one foot.
The Pendant is supervised; if no information is received by the system from the Gateway
for a specified number of minutes, a Device Fault alarm is generated in the Event List.
Since the Pendant is a mobile device, no installation is required. Simply insert the battery
and set up the Pendant transceiver for use.
To insert the battery on a Pendant transceiver
1. The Pendant is powered by a 3V Lithium battery with a 1 to 2-year life,
based on use. Use your fingers to remove the back cover of the Pendant
and expose the circuit board.
2. Insert the 3V Lithium coin cell battery into the battery holder as shown.
Be sure to align the positive (+) end of the battery as marked on the battery
and battery holder.
3. Snap the back cover back onto the Pendant.
To set up the Pendant transceiver for use
1. Activate the Pendant by pressing the button.
If the transceiver is working properly, the red LED will flash, indicating that the Alarm signal is being
transmitted. An Assistance Required alarm event will be listed on the Event List at the Central Server.
The system senses the Pendant when it goes into alarm and adds it to its list of devices.
2. The transceiver will continue to flash every five seconds until it is reset. Reset the Pendant by rapidly
pressing the button six times. The red LED will flash each time the button is pressed.
If the Pendant is reset properly, the red LED will flash a series of flashes, indicating that the Reset signal
is being transmitted. The alarm event will automatically clear from the Event List at the Central Server.
If Enforced JCAHO is enabled, you must clear the alarm at the Central Server.
3. At the Central Server, update the Pendant information, for example, giving the Pendant a name and/or
assigning it to a room or unit. Refer to the “Update Devices” section in the Series 5.0 Software
Administrator Guide.
