QUICK START GUIDE
3010 SeizureAlert
Step 1
Step 2
Connecting a 3rd Party Alarm Device
Note - if you are using only the 3501 ActiveCare Pager as the
alarming device, then this step is not required.
Plug the 6.25 mm plug on the Alarm Lead (14) into your alarm
device (eg nurse call system, emergency dialer, audible or
visual alarm).
For 3rd party systems that use a plug size other than 6.25mm,
cut off the 6.25mm plug and replace it with a compatible plug or
connector.
Plug the other end of the Alarm Lead into the back of 3010
SeizureAlert Monitor where it is labelled "Out".
4.2 MICROPHONE Sensitivity Adjustment: It is advisable to only
use the microphone if prolonged regular groans or verbal sounds
normally accompany the seizure, otherwise leave the
MICROPHONE control set to the “Min” position.
Short duration sounds will not activate the alarm. Adjust the
MICROPHONE control so that each time you make a loud groan
sound (like clearing your throat) the DETECT LED illuminates. As
with the BED SENSOR, the alarm will only activate after ~3 - 15
seconds of detected sounds. (Exact alarm activation time will
depend on the DELAY setting in the next step.)
4.3 DELAY Adjustment: If detecting a seizure quickly is
imperative, then little or no delay interval should be used however
a restless sleeper may cause the alarm to activate by simply
moving around in the bed.
To adjust the delay interval first set the DELAY to the "Min" position
and tap the bed until the monitor alarms. After ~10 seconds the unit
will reset & the red alarm LEDs will go out. Increase the DELAY
setting by rotating the control clockwise a little, and test again.
Repeat this process until you are happy with the delay setting.
Note - the delay setting also affects the alarm response time of the
microphone (if in use).
4.4 Save Settings and Exit Setup Mode: Once the required
sensitivity has been achieved, press and hold the red "Setup"
button until the red and orange LEDs flash simultaneously. This
indicates that the settings have been saved by the monitor.
Operation: To reset the unit after an alarm, simply turn it off by
pressing the ON / OFF button.

Position the Monitor and Sensor
Place the monitor on a bedside table or other position where it
is unlikely to be accidentally damaged.
Position the Bed Sensor between the base of the bed and the
middle of the mattress.
Plug the Power Adaptor into 240 V/AC outlet & switch on.
Switch the 240 V/AC outlet on but leave the monitor OFF.
4.1 BED SENSOR Sensitivity Adjustment: Turn the BED
SENSOR control to the 12 o’clock position and the MICROPHONE
and DELAY controls to the “Min” position (anticlockwise).
Tap the centre of the bed with your hand while observing the
DETECT LED, which will flash GREEN when the BED SENSOR
control is set high enough to detect the movement. If the DETECT
LED does not illuminate then turn the BED SENSOR control
incrementally higher until the unit detects the tapping on the bed.
Continue to tap the bed with quick tapping actions for at least 5 - 10
seconds, or until the POWER and DETECT LEDs both turn solid
red. A connected alarm device should now be alarming.
For most applications the 12 o’clock position will be adequate.
Please read all of steps 1 - 5 before beginning.
1. Make sure the monitor is plugged into mains power and
is turned on at the mains but turned OFF at the monitor.
2. Turn the DELAY control to maximum.
3. (While performing the following step, please watch the
POWER LED and DETECT LED.) Hold down the red
Setup button on the back of the unit while turning the
unit ON. Keep the Setup button held in.
4. After a short period the LEDs on the front panel will
flash alternately GREEN / ORANGE five times to
indicate that the monitor is now in setup mode. You can
now release the Setup button.
5. Proceed to Step 4.1 - 4.3 to adjust the settings for BED
SENSOR, MICROPHONE and DELAY. When testing
the settings the monitor alarms are indicated by the
POWER & DETECT LEDs both going RED, then after
approx. 5 seconds the monitor will return to setup mode
for additional sensitivity adjustment, if required.
6. To save settings and exit setup mode, press and hold
the red Setup button until the POWER & DETECT LEDs
flash 5 times and go off.
Enter Setup Mode
Step 3
Configure the 3010 SeizureAlert Monitor
During setup, the monitor settings can be reset at any time by
simply switching the monitor off using the ON / OFF button. The
monitor will exit setup mode and revert to the settings that were
saved before entering setup mode.
Before switching on again please wait 5 - 10 seconds until the
POWER and MOVEMENT LEDs are no longer illuminated.
It is not neccesary to have a 3rd party alarm connected during
the setup process but be sure to test it after setup.
Step 4
Note - during normal operation the controls at the front of the
monitor will have no effect on the unit. This is to prevent accidental
adjustments to the settings.
