Chapter 4. Starting to Use the Fall & Medical Alert Sensor
At this stage, your sensor is now ready for use.
4.1 Detection Conditions
Our fall detection technology follows the basic principles of physics in that the sensor detects the movement of a
human body’s velocity – impact –stability (in whichever direction) to identify a fall.
A signal cover range test is required to determine which areas in your home will be covered and if there are any
environmental conditions that will affect the signal.
The signal cover range may be adversely affected in the following situation:
•Use in an elevator
•A body or other large mass covering the fall detector (e.g., a person falling on top of it)
•Building materials (e.g., concrete, metal, etc.)
•Submersion in liquid (Water Resistant Level is not enough to take a shower or bath)
•Person wearing the sensor r falls down slowly.
•Use in outdoor or out of Wi-Fi signal coverage.
•Intelligent hubs not connected to the power or internet.
•Seniors who are shorter than 4 feet, 6 inches (137 cm) tall
•Seniors who weigh less than 88 pounds (40 kg)
