Best Practice
The Alerta Detect is most effective when
mounted at a door or at the bedside to
proactively give the care giver advanced
warning of any patient at risk of falling, if they
attempt to leave their bed or wander from
their room. When the patient moves into the
range of the infrared beam it will activate the
nurse call system prompting the care giver
to ascertain the patient’s safety. The Alerta
Detect offers multiple options to help you
decide what’s best for your resident.
Alert Notifications
The Alerta Detect Monitor can be used on
its own and connected directly to a nurse
call system using the cable provided, or used
wirelessly by connecting to the Alerta Detect
Wireless Alarm using the radio aerial.
Alert Reset
To reset the alarm, if connected directly
to the nurse call system, press the reset
button on the nurse call system. If connected
wirelessly to Alerta Detect Wireless Alarm,
reset chime on wireless alarm and press the
reset button on the nurse call system.
Installing the Battery
Remove the battery cover on the back of the
monitor using the release handle. Insert 3
new 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (not supplied),
taking care to observe proper battery
polarity (positive to positive, negative to
negative) or, the Alerta Detect Motion can be
powered using a mains AC/DC adaptor.

The Alerta Detect Motion Monitor offers revolutionary features that help you focus
on resident care and safety while maintaining protocol. Using infrared technology to
trigger an alert when body movement is detected within the range of the infrared
beam, the Alerta Detect is an alternative solution to the Alertamats where a PIR
beam may be more appropriate. It is also an excellent facility to give patients the
freedom and safety of their own room whilst still proactively giving the care giver
advanced warning of any patient at risk of falling, if they attempt to wander from
their room.

alarm then ensure it is installed close to a nurse
call wall point.
2. Install power supply to monitor using either
batteries or mains power as described.
3. Test the Alerta Alarm monitoring system before
each use and inspect the monitor regularly to

alarm, switch on at front panel and connect
nurse cable into nurse call plug on side of
monitor as shown in image 3. Next connect
nurse call cable to nurse call wall point.
b. If using Alerta Detect Motion with wireless
alarm, switch on at front panel raise radio aerial.
The Detect Motion now requires to be paired
with the wireless alarm. Enter the program
mode on the wireless alarm, wave hand in front
of the ‘eye’ and the wireless alarm shows pair
success. Full detail of how to pair Alerta Detect
Motion with wireless alarm is found in the
instruction manual of the wireless alarm manual.
5. When the patient moves across the Detect
Motion sensor PIR beam the Detect will activate
and the LED will illuminate in green and activate
the alarm nurse call system or wireless alarm.
6. When the battery level is low, the Detect Motion
led will illuminate in red, replace batteries.

Read and follow these Installation Instructions, particularly
the Warnings and Cautions, before using your Alerta Detect
Motion sensor. Failure to do so may result in injury or death to
a person in your care.
Use your monitor in conjunction with your facility’s fall
prevention program. Alerta Alarm monitors are not a
substitute for proper nursing care. The effectiveness of
the Alerta system relies on an immediate response by the
caregiver to the monitor’s alarm.
The Alerta Alarm monitor will not stop a person from leaving
a bed, chair, wheelchair or room. It is intended only to
alert a caregiver that a person may need assistance. Other
interventions may still be required for some people.
The Alerta Detect Motion sensor can be defeated by a
cognitively aware person with only a few moments of lucidity
or an uncooperative person. Properly assess each individual
before the Alerta Alarm system is used.
When the low battery light is on, replace the batteries
immediately. Use only 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. The Alerta
monitor does not recharge batteries. Check for low battery
before every use.
Check for suitable use with each individual before the
Alertamat Detect system is used.
If the cord is unplugged from the call system and the Alerta
Detect is not connected to the wireless alarm, the Alerta
monitor will not alarm.
Product Support
For product support contact your local stockist.
Inspect the Alerta monitor to make sure it is held securely and
that the bracket mount is secure. If the mount is not secure, the
monitor may be damaged.
Use care when connecting or disconnecting the Alerta Alarm
monitor to the nurse call system. Gently remove or connect plugs.
Pulling on the cord may damage it and result in system failure.
The Alerta Detect is designed to withstand normal wear and tear
for a period 1 year. Beyond this time, this monitor may fail without
warning due to prolonged use and other factors, e.g. exposure to
moisture, repeated cord pulls, connector damage, etc.
Do not emerge in liquid, or use the monitor if it has been
immersed in liquid. Discard the monitor if exposed to liquids.
Use only the power supply that is shipped with the monitor.
Failure to do so may cause improper operation or damage to the
alarm monitor.
