3.3.2 Checking performance

Check the performance of the door monitor by carrying an active patient wristband transmitter and

walking towards the door from a starting point, say 20ft from the sensors.

As the door/area is approached, the wristband signals should be detected by the sensors at the

approximate distance required from the door. If the distance is too great, or too small re-run the

procedure with the set up transmitter as described above but you should note that settings are

approximate only. The important point is to make sure this approximate distance is first set correctly

using the set-up transmitter.

For example, if you set the sensors initially to a “5” (on the rotary switch) sensitivity setting and you find

the range could be set longer (remember set the range as long as the site will allow you too), you should

try a “4” setting since this is a more sensitive setting and therefore has longer range.

If you require a shorter range then use a ”6” setting (less sensitivity = lower range) and so on.

Note: The number actually indicates the signal level during set-up. Therefore a higher number indicates

a higher signal is required to be received from the transmitter and therefore shorter range.

As you are using two sensor strips, you have to set-up each strip in turn. Usually they will be set to the

same sensitivity level “number”. Due to variations on each site, they may need be set differently to suit

the requirement.

3.3.3 Wristband low battery auto detect and report

Each patient wristband (TXP-02) will detect “low battery” and automatically transmit a signal to be

indicated by an LED on the door monitor. This “low battery” condition will be also indicated on our TTEST

staff wristband tester (if held within 1.5m of the wristband), CMU-02 central monitor, or HPCON-01

wireless universal remote display equipment etc.

When “low battery” is reported, there are approximately four weeks of reliable life remaining for the

particular wristband.

It is recommended that every door monitor site employs our TTEST wireless tag reader to allow regular

staff checks of wristband signals and battery condition.

4.0 SYSTEM OPERATION

This door monitor may be used for normally open or normally closed doors.

4.1 Normally open door

(No door contact fitted, or using sensors fitted in a corridor area)

If a patient wearing the wristband enters the detection zone, a full alarm will immediately be triggered.

This is indicated by the red LED’s flashing and the sounder on – “steady while any door lock is on and

“pulsing” after door lock time-out. Refer to J11.

An activated alarm will be transmitted to be received by a wireless central monitor, or other display and

indication device (if employed). The risk of any unwanted alarms can be reduced by fitting a PIR detector

(see drawing 001/8).

This alarm can be reset remotely by a care attendant approaching the door and pressing the button on a

wireless reset transmitter, entering the correct code on the wireless keypad or by presenting the optional

magnetic proximity key at the point indicated on the door monitor unit (blue circle). It can also be reset (if

within range) by using our TTEST staff tester and control unit.
