5. General
5.1 Control unit (picture 1)
The control unit emits a notification via dry-contact output and by sound (unless muted)
when the sensor detects fast-paced movement (frequency 3–20Hz) in the bed for the
duration of the preset time (10, 13, 16 or 20 sec.).
The control unit operates with 2 pcs AA size 1.5 V alkaline batteries. An external power
supply is available. Do not use any power supply other than that provided by Abilia. (see
chapter Technical Specifications for details) (picture 2). In the event of a power failure, two
high-quality 1.5V AA alkaline batteries can be used as an emergency power supply. Do
not use any rechargeable batteries or lithiumion batteries! Rechargeable or lithium-ion
batteries carry the risk of melting, ruining the device and causing possible danger to the
user.
The control unit has an input connector for the bed sensor (X3) and power supply (X1).
The device also has a connector (X2) to transfer the notification via an external system
e.g. a nurse call system or a personal emergency phone.
Next to the input connector, there is a push button (SW1) that can be used to acknowledge
a notification or as an on/off switch. (picture 3)
The control unit has 8 DIP switches (picture 4) to select the settings and a rotary switch to
adjust the sensitivity of the device. (picture 5)
5.2 Bed sensor (picture 6)
The bed sensor produces a millivolt alternating current when detecting movement. The
control unit calculates the frequency and scale of the movement from this signal and, on
this basis, detects possible tonic-clonic seizure. Micro-movement from heartbeat allow the
device to detect the person's presence.

11
6. Setting up the DIP switches
Open the lid of the control unit by lifting it from the side (picture 9). Inside, you will find
eight DIP switches that are used to select the desired functions (picture 4). Remember to
select the desired settings using the DIP switches before using the device.
The control unit has the following factory settings. DIP 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 OFF (down).
DIP 3 ON (up). With these settings:
Movement notification delay is 13 seconds.
The SW1 switch acts as the On/Off switch which means that the device can be
switched on or off by pressing the switch for three (3) seconds.
The notification sound is loudest.
The bed exit notification is disabled.
Remove the batteries and disconnect the device from the power supply and
remove nurse call cable (if used) from connector X2 before opening the lid.
Remove the batteries and disconnect the power supply before setting up the DIP
switches in order to implement the new settings.
6.1 Adjusting the tonic-clonic seizure notification delay (switches 1 & 2)
When the device detects faster movement (between 3–20Hz), its internal timer switches
on. The device gives a notification if the movement continues for longer than the preset
time. The desired delay should be set up according to the table below.
The factory setting is 13 seconds. If the user makes other habitual movements, such as
rocking, scratching or restlessness, a longer delay time can be selected to avoid false
notifications.

7. Inserting batteries and battery service life
Disconnect the device from the power supply and remove nurse call cable (if
used) from connector X2 before opening the lid.
Product operates with 2 pcs high quality AA size 1.5 V alkaline batteries (operating voltage
2x1.5V = 3V). Install and remove the batteries as follows:
1) Open the lid by removing the screws and lifting it from one side (for first-time assembly:
the screws for the lid can be found in the pouch containing wall mounting parts). (picture 9)
2) Insert two high-quality AA size 1.5V alkaline batteries into the device following the
polarity symbols at the bottom of the device. Close the lid and screw the screws back on.
(picture 10)
The easiest way to remove a battery is by lifting it from the + end. (picture 11)
Estimated battery life is 3 months when using high quality alkaline batteries with 2800 mAh
capacity (2pcs). Estimation is based on measured battery consumption in various
conditions and then a calculation where device is on 50% of time (shut down 50% of time)
and of that 50% of time there is someone in bed 75% of that time, there are two
notifications per day and sound notification is on 30 seconds each time.
When the batteries are getting low, the red LED will begin to flash slowly. A
“beep” sound will be heard after every 1.5 hours and the dry-contact output will
give a low battery notification after every 3 hours.
NOTE! All alkaline batteries start to leak when empty, and a leak will
contaminate the device. Remember to replace the batteries at least once a year
to avoid any leaks. Remove the batteries when the device is not being used or
when it is being stored for an extended period. Disconnect the power supply
briefly to test the batteries. If the batteries are empty, the red light on the control
unit will flash every fourth time compared to blue light. The X2 connector and the
connected system will also trigger a notification. Replace the batteries when
necessary.
Product is tested and safe to use with following two alkaline batteries:
Manufacturer: Duracell Type: AA 1.5V Model: MN1500 LR6
Manufacturer: Energizer Type: AA 1.5V Model: E91 LR6 AM3
Do not use any rechargeable batteries or lithium-ion batteries! Rechargeable or
lithium-ion batteries carry the risk of melting, ruining the device and causing
possible danger to the user.

8. 5V AC External power supply (optional)
Set up the power supply in the following manner:
Remove the plastic cover (if
applicable). (picture 23)
Select a suitable plug from
the four alternatives.
(picture 24)
Plug in the plug and ensure
that it is not loose. (picture
25)
The control unit has been designed and tested to be used with the Globtek inc.
power supply (see chapter Technical Specifications for details). Using any other
power supply may interfere with the safe use of the device.
When the power supply is connected, the batteries act as backup power supply
in the event of a power failure. All alkaline batteries self-discharge and start to
leak when empty, contaminating the device. Ensure that batteries are replaced
at least once a year.
When removing the power supply from the socket, ensure that the plug part is
not left in the socket. If the plug part is left in the socket, touching or trying to
remove it carries the risk of an electric shock.
Keep device cords out of the reach of children (risk of strangulation). Use
protective cord covers or cable ties to securely attach and hide cords to prevent
strangulation. Keep cords as short as possible and secure them so that they are
out of reach of children.

16
11. Installation of the bed sensor
Place the bed sensor across the bed, under the mattress at
approximately chest height. (picture 12)
To prevent the bed sensor from moving, fix the sensor to the
bed bottom or mattress using the double sided tape provided
or e.g. cable ties (picture 26). The tape will not leave a mark
and it will come off as a whole if removed.
Check at least once a week that the bed sensor is properly
positioned.
If using the bed sensor with a spring mattress, place the sensor
beneath the mattress and on top of the box spring or
flat/platform surface. Place above spring mattress and below a
mattress pad if bed is especially springy, you do not have a flat
surface to place sensor on, individual being monitored weighs
less than 35 lbs/15 kgs, or if alarm does not trigger with sensor
below mattress after increasing sensitivity to maximum level allowed (Manufacturer
recommendation is no higher than 8). Thickness of mattress and weight of individual may
require that sensor be placed above the mattress and below a mattress pad.
Always place the bed sensor under the mattress or mattress topper, never just under the
sheet. The bed sensor must not come into direct contact with a person!
The bed sensor is designed to last for a minimum of two (2) years placed under a foam
mattress and against the hard base of a bed frame.
With a spring mattress, the service life of the bed sensor may be considerably shorter.
When the bed sensor is placed on a spring mattress, the user's weight and movement may
cause the sensor to crumple, which may affect the sensor's performance. The
manufacturer recommends that users replace the sensor when it starts to look crumpled.
When used with a spring mattress, the sensor should be replaced annually. The warranty
does not cover damage caused by crumpling.
If the bed sensor is used with a pressure care mattress that is adjusted using a
compressor pump, the mattress may interfere with the sensor's performance. If you are
unsure about the suitability of your mattress, please contact the manufacturer.
Keep device cords out of the reach of children (risk of strangulation). Use protective
cord covers or cable ties to securely attach and hide cords to prevent strangulation. Keep
cords as short as possible and secure them so that they are out of reach of children.

exit. Alarm signals can be muted using the DIP switches (see chapter 6.4 Adjusting the
notification sound volume).
Information signals, that are short and quieter than alarm signals, are used as feedback to
the user. Information signals tell the user when the device is turned on or off or when
alarm signal is acknowledged. Possible malfunctions of the equipment (disconnected bed
sensor, empty batteries) and feedback about calibration of the sensor are also notified with
information signals. Information signals can’t be muted.
Alarm signals are high priority signals that will overrule information signals if both signals
activate simultaneously.
14.1Alarm signals
Two high and low “BEEPS” in a loop.
Fast movements alarm goes off.
Three high and low “BEEPS” in a loop.
Bed exit alarm goes off.
14.2Information signals
Short, high “BEEP”.
SW1 is pressed and device turns on.
Short, low “BEEP”.
SW1 is pressed and device is turned off.
Short, low “BEEP” x 2.
SW1 has been pressed once and alarm signal
is acknowledged.
Short, high “BEEP” x 3 and short low
“BEEP” x 3.
Sensor is disconnected or broken. Information
signal sounds after 10 seconds of
disconnection and then every 45 seconds.
Short, high “BEEP”, short “LOW” beep.
Batteries are empty. Replace batteries.
Short, high “BU-BEEP” x 3.
Sensitivity calibration has started / successful
calibration.
Short, low “BEEP” (after calibration).
Sensitivity too low.
Short, low “BEEP” (after calibration) x 2.
Sensitivity too high.

15. Setting sensitivity to notice tonic-clonic seizure
The sensitivity to notice fast movements caused by tonic-clonic
seizure can be adjusted with the 10-position rotary switch inside
(see picture 5). The factory default setting is 3.
Use following table to make a pre-adjustment per person weight
BUT adjust it if needed either up or down. If you feel that
sensitivity is not good enough, simply adjust higher step by step.
Or, if you feel it is too sensitive causing false notifications, simply
drop the setting lower step by step.
Test it so that when person is in bed, gentle tapping of mattress nearby sensor should start
the green led blinking faster which indicates fast movements are detected. If not, adjust
higher. However, when person is lying still it should not start blinking fast without reason. If
so, adjust lower.
During rest the green led should blink the same speed as blue led. If person is rolling over
in bed, lights may momentarily blink faster. This type of normal movement in bed should
not last long enough for the notification to sound.
Person weight

Adjust the sensitivity of the device every time the sensor is re-installed, if the
user or the sensor changes.
16. Calibrating the “presence / absence” sensitivity
16.1Doing calibration
If you use the bed-exit (absence) notification, the sensitivity to determine that person is in
or out of the bed is adjusted in calibration mode. The person to be monitored should be in
bed and lying still (not moving or talking) for at least one (1) minute until green light starts
to blink the same speed as blue light. The monitor (control unit) should be placed on a
table, clipped on bed, or mounted on wall. Do not hold monitor in hand while testing.
Sensor should be in correct position under mattress.
Start calibration by pressing the SW1 switch (picture 21) three (3) times. You will hear 3
low and high tones (bu-beep, bu-beep, bu-beep). The calibration takes 18 seconds. If
calibration is successful, the confirmation sound will be the same 3 low and high tones (bu-
beep, bu-beep, bubeep).
