These connections are duplicated at the top of the strip sensors for convenience of cabling,
connection of keypad etc.
1.2 The patient wristband digital transmitter
For door monitoring, there are two main versions of this device:
1. Patient transmitter (TXP-02). This utilizes a watch-style strap, or hospital type with non-removable
(locked) plastic strap.
2. Warden/caregiver door alarm reset/alarm override transmitter (DRB-11).
This patient transmitter is a multi-functional, programmable unit. It can be set up for chosen ID numbers
for groups of users in response to particular customer requirements.
This software controlled transmitter can automatically detect “low battery” condition and send a signal to
alert staff, or caregivers that approximately four (4) weeks of operation remains.
It is very important that a wristband tester unit (TTEST-01) is employed at each site to allow regular staff
checking that the wristbands are transmitting correctly and to indicate any low battery status.
Patient wristbands must be de-activated (password protected) e.g. while held in distributor’s stock to
conserve battery life and re-activated upon issue to a customer. Directions can be found in the Rondish
Transmitter Programming Manual.
2.0 INSTALLATION (refer to drawings 001/1 to 001/11)
Details of the various terminal connections are shown in the drawings 001/1 and 001/3.
2.1 Installation position
This “strip” door monitor is usually installed at the side of a door, as shown in drawing 001/2. Dependent
upon the situation, the user may choose to install the monitors close to the side of the door post on each
side of the door frame. (2 door strips).
If the door has metal posts/frame, ensure that minimum 300mm spacing is allowed between post and
monitor unit.
In exceptional circumstances, especially where short range is required a strip monitor could be installed
on the door itself.
2.2 Preparation
This “strip” monitor unit is designed for mounting utilizing the double sided tape provided.
Caution: Although the plastic housing has holes that could be used for screw fixing, these must not be
used as there is a risk of a short circuit or damage occurring to the lower side of the PCB. After fixing the
plastic strip monitor housing, the PCB inside can slide out of the housing, through the top, or bottom end
to expose the various controls for adjustment.
It is important to try to avoid placing the monitor immediately beside any metal objects, such as metal
doors, electrical cables, metal cabinets etc as these can affect the performance of the door monitoring
system. Following initial setting up of the detection zone, parking of large metal objects within the field of
the system (6/8 ft) such as trolleys, beds, etc should be avoided as these will also have an effect upon the
detection field of the monitor.
