get involved.

1. Door Top Alarm
The 4 coloured wires from the DTA cable fed into the ceiling, should be connected into the 4
connector block on the left hand side of the electronics boxes as shown.
It is extremely important the wires are connected in the correct junction box:
Green LED = Green Wire
Red LED = Red Wire
Switch = Blue Wire
Switch Common = Yellow Wire
Wiring into the electronics box should be as follows:
Green
Red
Blue
Yellow
Cables codes
Green - Green LED
Red - Red LED
Blue - Trigger switch
Yellow - Common

2. Power
The power cable has 2 cables. The black cable is connected to the PSU (-) and the red wire is
connected to the PSU (+). The PSU connectors are located on the right hand side of the box.
The Power can either be from the Staff Attach System (if available)or mains power. If mains
power, it MUST BE transformed down to 12V.DC.

Once power is connected, the red LED on the outside of the box should light up.
If the power is connected without the Door Top Alarm in place, the unit will cycle through the
following sequence - Power LED (red) comes on and the Status LED will cycle green, amber,
and red then extinguish. When the pre-set delay time has elapsed, the LED will turn red and
the internal alarm will sound for approximately 5 seconds. After a total of 20 seconds, the
unit will return to standby mode.
3. Staff attack
The staff attack is connected into EITHER the Normally Closed OR Normally Open
connectors on the right hand side of the box.
Hipac recommend, where possible, the Normally Closed connections are used as this will
allow a notification alarm to sound if there is a power failure or wire breakage. In the Normally
Open connections re used, it may still be possible to obtain a non-audible notification if there
is a failure e.g. messages appears on nurse’s station display unit. Please consult the Staff
Attack supplier.
NOTE - The staff attack should not be connected until the Door Top Alarm and Power stages
have been signed off. (The alarm could go off as the Door Top Alarm has failsafe system built
in).
NOTE 2 - All the wiring should be checked and signed off at each stage on the supplied sign
off sheet during installation by the various contractors. If any problems occur during the
installation stages, Hipac will not attend site to carry out an investigation without proof that
all the stages have been signed (or stages up to when the problem has occurred). If Hipac
attend site and it is proved a stage was signed off in error, this will be chargeable at a day’s
rate.

8. Testing / Checks
The Door Top Alarms should be tested on a regular basis. Frequency of the testing is as per your
risk assessments policy.
To carry out the tests, place the supplied magnet just under the LED on the Door Top Alarm.
(The LED only lights up when a magnet is placed against it so it is not visible to patients).
Press and release the top bar on the DTA a couple of times and the LED should be green.
Press and hold the bar for 3 seconds and the LED should change to orange. When the orange
light is continuously on for a set period of time (factory setting = 10 seconds), the LED will
change to Red and the alarm will be registered. After approximately 20 seconds, the unit
will reset itself and the red LED will disappear. For risk assessment checks you could go to
the orange light state where the alarm does not go off and probably only allow 1 or 2 on a
random basis to go to red stage.
On the outside of the electronics box there is a matching tricolored LED labeled ‘Status’
which should also light up every time the top bar is pressed. This LED does not need a magnet to
light up.
9. Changing of the Alarm delay time
The factory setting is set at a 10 second delay (continuous pressure on the door top bar). Other
standard options are 5, 20 or 30 seconds. Inside the electronics box, as shown on the below
photo, is a red or a blue box with 2 white switches.

10. Fail Safe
The Door Top Alarm includes a failsafe system, where the alarm will sound if there is a power
cut or a wire breakage. NOTE - this is only applicable if the staff attack system has been
wired into the Normally Closed terminals in the Hipac electronics box. It is possible to get
notification if the Normally Open terminals have to be used but this will not be an audible
alarm and is dependent on your staff attack company being able to send a failure message
back to say the main control panel at the nurses’ station.
The hinge is supplied in 2 pieces, the main section of the hinge which takes most of the
doors weight and the electrically modified section, at the top, which has the cables running
through it. The reason for this is for ease of service, so if at any time there is a problem, the
electrically modified piece can simply be taken out without having to take the door off.
The wiring to the electronics box should be checked (and signed off at each stage on
the supplied sign off sheet) with the tester box at each stage during installation by the
contractor.

20 Seconds30 Seconds

11. Failsafe Alarm sounding
If this situation occurs, the alarm will keep sounding until action is taken. To switch off, locate
the bedroom referenced electronics box in the loft and disconnect the power. Either take
out the fusing the closely located transformer or if the power is via the staff attack system,
unscrew the power connection wires (shown previously) in the electronics box with a small
Phillips screwdriver. If the alarm continues to go off this is outside of the Hipac solution and
down to the programming of the staff attack system. Try disconnecting the staff attack wires
(also as shown previously) and if this fails to stop the alarm, immediately contact the staff
attack company to discuss and solve.
Once under control, please contact Hipac’s operations department to notify the problem,
explain what actions you have taken to silence and discuss / agree action plan to repair the
problem.
12. Operating Instructions
The Door Top Alarm will be passive the majority of the time, if there is nothing placed over
the door then the alarm will not be in use. When pressure is applied to the top of the door for
a preset period of time between 5 & 30 seconds this will trigger a relay inside the door top
alarm.
The relay inside will send a signal to our control unit situated out of sight.
This will trigger the staff attack system which will inform staff of an incident in accordance
with the staff attack system protocol.
Once the ligature has been removed from the top of the door, the alarm will automatically be
reset after 20 seconds and normal use will resume.
Please Note:
The Door Top Alarms should be tested on a regular basis. Frequency of the testing is as per
your risk assessments policy.
To carry out the tests, place the supplied magnet onto the edge of the LED on the Door Top
Alarm. (The LED only lights up when a magnet is placed against it so not visible to patients.)
Press and release the top once and the LED should shine green. Press and release the bar
again whilst the orange light is still on, and the LED should change to Orange. Then hold the
bar for a predetermined period (factory setting = 10 seconds), the LED will change to Red and
the alarm will be registered.
Note the alarm will sound if weight is applied to the sensor; edges 1.3kg centre 2.6kg dry
towel OK but wet towel not - suggest a ‘click’ style towel rail/rails.
Power, Connections and DTA working -

Green Light - Press the top bar once and move magnet around LED
Amber LED - indicates correct protocol for tamper setting
Red LED - DTA Alarm signal sent to Staff Attack System
After approximately 20 seconds, the unit will reset itself and the red LED will disappear.
The DTA resets but the staff attack system still needs resetting as per Staff Attack Instructions

13. Trouble Shooting Guide
Please Note: This guide is intended to help you diagnose a fault on the door top alarm, it may not
tell you how to repair it.
In normal operation the Door top alarm should remain passive until the bar on the top is
activated.
To test the alarm is working properly, you will need a magnet
Begin by closing the door and re-opening it.
• Without pressing on th bar put a magnet to the LED on the leading edge of the door. The
LED should remain clear and unilluminated.
If at this point the LED is presenting green then the fitting of the door is wrong and the DTA
is clashing with the frame causing it to activate. This can be fixed by wither channeling the
DTA deeper into the door or by slightly dropping the hinge. In this case Hipac do not need to
attend site.
• If when the door is first opened, the magnet remains clear then quickly press and release
the bar once (Keeping the magnet next to the LED). The LED should turn green. This
signals that you have power to the DTA.
If once pressed and released the LED doesn’t illuminate, then there is a power supply issue
somewhere on the circuit. The DTA control box should be located in the ceiling or a cupboard.
On the front of this is a red power LED, this should be illuminated. It this is not lit then there
is an issue with your power supply to thee box. In this case Hipac should not need to attend
site.
If the red LED is lit up but the LED on the DTA is not illuminating then there is an issue
between the control box and the DTA. Please ensure that the cables at the back of the hinge
and the DTA are both connected as they should be. If they are both connected correctly and
the LED on the box is lit, the Hipac may need to attend site.
If the LED does illuminate but the light is flashing or no a solid display in anyway, you may
need to check your power supply is running off DC and not AC. Hipac do not need to attend
site.
• If the LED did illuminate Green, then whilst it is still displaying green the quickly press and
release it once again. The LED should momentarily change from green to orange. Once
the bar is released the LED will change back to green. All the time you are doing this, the
magnet should be kept next to the LED.
If the LED stays orange once you have released the bar then the micro switches may be over
sensitive and will need adjusting. You can test this by rolling the bar to the side and seeing if

it sticks to one side, if it does Hipac will need to visit site.
If the bar is sticking but there is no side to side movement in the bar then you will need to
check the channeling the door to make sure it’s not too tight on the alarm. Hipac should not
need to visit site.
• Once you have seen the LED change to orange, hold the bar down for 10 seconds and the
LED will change to red and the alarm will sound.
If the LED changes to red but the alarm doesn’t sound, you need to speak to your staff attack
providers to make sure their system is wired correctly. Hipac do not need to attend site. If
the Led doesn’t cycle through the colours of green, amber, red as it should then the system
may be wired incorrectly. Please consult the Hipac O&M manual to make sure it’s wired as it
should be.
Please Note: Once the alarm has been activated it will take approximately 30 seconds to
reset. If you keep the magnet to the LED, whilst it is still in alarm is will display red. If it has
gone back to clear then it has reset.
