What is the Sensor Controller used for?
The sensor controller is normally used for bed or chair occupancy monitoring; if a person gets into bed/sits in their chair, then gets up
again and does not return within a preset period an alarm call will be transmitted. Alternatively, the sensor controller can be used with a
floor pressure mat or a door contact to raise an instant alarm.
How does the Sensor Controller work?
The sensor controller is normally supplied with a standard bed or chair sensor as a complete package. The controller and other sensor
options are also available separately if custom packages are required.
The sensor controller must be installed with a Reach at-home alarm, an Advent xt warden call system, an Altec Response local carer
alarm unit or a Touchsafe Pro Nursecall system.
The sensor controller has a real time clock with automatic British Summer Time adjustments (i.e. the +/- 1 hour clock changes are made
automatically on the correct day every March and October).
With a standard bed or chair sensor an alarm can be raised either instantly a person leaves their bed/chair or after a 1 to 99 minute
programmable absence period if the person does not return to their bed/chair. If the person does not return and an alarm is raised but
they are OK, then an optional 1 to 99 minute programmable reset period can be set. If the person is not detected back in their bed/chair
at the end of this period, then an alarm will be raised again.
Monitoring starts when a person has been in their bed/chair for 30 seconds (default logged in bed time). Continuous monitoring is
possible if the controller is set to be on all the time. Alternatively, up to 3 active periods can be programmed to repeat every day. There
is also the option to raise an alarm if a person is not in their bed/chair after a 0 to 999 minute programmable delay from the start of the
monitoring period.
Monitoring will end at the end of each monitoring period unless the still in bed/chair option is set. This is a 0 to 999 minute
programmable period – if the person is still in their bed/chair at the end of this period an alarm will be raised.
If the person is going to be away from home for a few days, the Sensor Controller has an away mode feature which suspends monitoring
to prevent false alarms. When the person returns home the unit must be switched back into home mode and normal monitoring will
resume.
The sensor controller has a Carer Call button to activate an alarm call at any time. An optional Pear Push lead is available to activate a
carer call.
With a Magic Stick or SensAlert bed/chair sensor an alarm can be raised either instantly a person leaves their bed/chair or after a
programmable 0 to 999 second countdown delay. The alarm can be cancelled during the countdown by pressing the  key.
With a pressure mat or door contact an alarm can be raised either instantly a person steps on the mat or opens the monitored door or
after a programmable 0 to 999 second countdown delay. The alarm can be cancelled during the countdown by pressing the  key.
An RJ45 double adapter is used to connect 2 sensors per controller - Note: both sensors must be the same type.

1. HOW TO CONNECT THE SENSOR CONTROLLER
The sensor controller includes a power lead and a rechargeable battery, depending on the package it may also be supplied with either a
bed sensor or a chair sensor. Alternative bed/chair sensors, pressure mat, door contacts and double adapters are available separately.
1. The sensor controller should be within 3 metres of a mains supply, if an extension cable is necessary care should be taken to
ensure that no one can trip over the power lead.
2. Slide the battery compartment open on the rear of the sensor controller and connect the RECHARGEABLE BATTERY.
3. Plug the POWER LEAD into the POWER SOCKET and connect to the mains supply.
4. Plug the BED/CHAIR SENSOR/MAGIC STICK or PRESSURE MAT or DOOR CONTACT into the SENSOR SOCKET.
5. Note: an RJ4 DOUBLE ADAPTER can be used to connect 2 of the SAME TYPE sensors into the SENSOR SOCKET.
6. The I/O SOCKET is only used for an optional Pear Push lead or to connect the auxiliary relay output
