1 General description
The SensorMATe 3 is a uni ersal radio transmitter that can be used to transmit
specific alarm e ents to the Possum Telecare range of recei ers such as the
Infopager 2G or Neo Carephone units. The unit can be interfaced directly to two
separate sensor mats using the RJ12 and RJ10/RJ22 input sockets located on the
top of the de ice. Configuration of the required sensors, any associated alarm delays
and the date and time is achie ed using an intuiti e menu structure displayed on the
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Adjustment of these parameters is carried out using the
four na igation buttons on the membrane keypad.
The unit is powered by two alkaline AA batteries. The replacement of these items is
easily achie ed without the need of any hand tools.
The unit has an integrated real time clock allowing for the time scheduling of any
alarms to be raised to be easily configured.
The unit is capable of being directly interfaced to the following sensor solutions
a ailable from Possum Telecare:
• Bed Occupancy Solutions (including the Paper thin bed occupancy solutions)
• Carpet Sensors
• Enuresis Sensors
• Any sensor mat or de ice terminated in a RJ12 or RJ10/22 plug configured with
“Normally Closed” or “Normally Open” olt free contacts. Monitoring occurs
between the outer pins (1 & 4) or the inner pins (2 & 3) of the RJ10/22
connector or pins 2 & 5 or 3 & 4 of a RJ12 Socket.

according to a set of default preprogrammed parameters. It is selectable
between:
o “No Change” – Keeps the existing parameter settings.
o “Independent IPs” – Allowing full control o er both IPs separately. Note:
The initial configuration has the following default parameters
programmed:
 LH input is configured for use with older Paper Thin occupancy
solutions. (Tremble =1 Second with 24 Hour monitoring).
 RH input is configured for Enuresis solution. (Sensiti ity=5)
o “Property Exit” – An intelligent property exit sensor allowing the unit to
interpret whether a monitored indi idual has entered or exited the
property. In this mode the SensorMATe is used in conjunction with a PIR
or Floor mat sensor and magnetic door contact.
o Te ecare Enab ed – Applicable to the RJ12 (LH) input, allowing
configuration of parameters such as bed absence and dwell times.
o Fa s Prevention – Applicable to the RJ12 (LH) input with the following
default parameters: (Alarm delay/ tremble set to 1 Second)
• “Settings PIN” – Entry of a four digit code enables password protection and
pre ents any configured settings from being altered. The entry of “0000” disables
any applied PIN protection. Note: In the case of password protection being
applied and the PIN code being forgotten use code “1010” to unprotect the unit.
• “A ways On” – This function inhibits the “Standby” button and pre ents the unit
from being switched off. Select “Yes” to inhibit the standby button and “No” to
allow the button to be used as an On/Off switch. Note: Selection of this
functionality does not pre ent the button from being used for direct return to the
monitoring page from any of the settings menus.
• “LoBatt repeat hrs” – This area allows the Automatic Low Battery (ALB)
periodicity to be adjusted between 8 Hours and 166 Hours (approx. 7 days). The
time is defaulted to 24 Hours.
• “Contrast “ – Engineer setting for adjustment of the LCD screen contrast.
• “Set Factory Defau ts” – Select “Yes” and “Sa e” to restore the unit back to the
factory default configuration. Note: Applying the factory defaults will not o erwrite
any configured “Date and time Settings”.

o Operating Mode: Independent Inputs.
o LH (RJ12) Socket used with paper thin bed occupancy solutions.
o RH (RJ10) Socket used with Enuresis sensing mat.
7.4 Left and Right nput Configuration
The SensorMATe can ha e two indi idual sensors connected to and continuously
monitored using the RJ10/22 (RH socket) and RJ12 (LH Socket) located on the top of
the product. The RJ12 Socket is a dedicated socket which can be used with Possum
proprietary products such as the paper thin molded capaciti e sensor module (Part
number 034-893).
The RH socket (RJ10/22) allows sensors which ha e olt free contacts between either
pins 1 and 4 or 2 and 3 of the connector to be plugged directly into the SensorMATe.
The SensorMATe can be configured to raise alarms from either “Norma y C osed (N/C)”
or “Norma y Open (N/O)” contacts. It also has the capability to carry out resisti e
measurements which can be used to monitor for enuresis (bedwetting) occurrences
using special mats.
Figure 1: RJ10/22 4P4C Pin-out
The “Configure LH Input” or “Configure RH Input” settings can be programmed
independently of each other. The configuration options that are a ailable are:
7.4.1 nput
This requires correct configuration for the type of sensor plugged into the respecti e
socket and is selectable between:
• NormOpen (1&4) - Normally open sensor de ice connected between pins 1 and 4
of the RJ22 plug or pins 2 and 5 of a RJ12 connector.
• NormOpen (2&3) - Normally open sensor de ice connected between pins 2 and 3
of the RJ22 plug or pins 3 and 4 of a RJ12 connector.
• Enuresis – Direct connection of an enuresis mat using cable (Pt no 034-859)
plugged into the RH input socket.
• NormClosed (1&4) - Normally closed sensor de ice connected between pins 1 and
4 of the RJ22 plug or pins 2 and 5 of a RJ12 connector.

Page 16
• NormClosed (2&3) - Normally closed sensor de ice connected between pins 2 and
3 of the RJ22 plug or pins 3 and 4 of a RJ12 connector.
• Not Used (off) – Input not being used. (Note: Select this to increase battery life
when an input is not being used).
• Paper Thin Occup. – This is only displayed when an intelligent capaciti e sensing
pod is inserted into the left hand RJ12 connector. When a pod is connected it
opens up two additional functions:
o “Paper Thin Ca ibration”– This area allows an installer to calibrate a bed
sensing mat in situ. This ensures that any potential ad erse effects caused
by the material the sensor is adhered to is minimized.
o “A .Type PT errs” – This is an alarm that can be configured to be sent out
when the SensorMATe detects a mat has failed. The alarm type is
selectable between “Std/Any”(alarm type 0) or “Tech.Fail” (alarm type 43).
7.4.2 Monitoring
This setting allows the installer to specify the times that the installed sensors will be
monitored. It is configurable between:
• 24 hour – default setting, monitoring occurs throughout the day.
• Day only – unit inhibited during the night period.
• Bed usage – unit is used during the night period. An alarm will be raised
should the following e ents occur:
o The user does not get into bed by a predetermined time.
o The user is absent from bed for a period exceeding the dwell time.
o The user does not get out of bed by a predetermined time.
• Night only - unit inhibited during the day period.
• Day/Night Dw. – allows different dwell times to be applied for day and night
use.
7.4.3 Daytime Dwell (m)
This sets the time during the day that the input must be in the alarm state before an
alarm is raised. It can be configured between 0 (Off) and 120 minutes and is
incremented in 1 minute steps. This setting is mainly used with Chair/Bed occupancy
solutions when a person is allowed to be absent from the particular monitored area for
a predetermined amount of time without an alarm being raised.
7.4.4 Night Dwell (m)
Indi idual dwell setting for occupancy solutions applied during the period defined as
“Night time”. The setting can be selected to “Off” or for any period from 1 to 120
minutes (in 1 minute steps). Note this setting is only a ailable when either “Bed usage”
“Night only” or “Day/Night Dw” monitoring has been selected.

Page 17
7.4.5 Tremble (0.5S)
This setting is used with bed and chair occupancy solutions. It can reduce the number of
false alarms which can be caused by people sitting up or fidgeting whilst being monitored.
The setting is defaulted to 1 Second (Setting “2”) and can be adjusted in 0.5 Second
adjustments to a maximum of 10 Seconds (Setting “20”).
7.4.6 Enuresis Sens.
This setting is only applicable to enuresis sensors and as such will only be displayed for the
RH (4P4C RJ10/22) socket. It sets the threshold when an enuresis e ent will be registered.
Adjustment can be made between le els 1 and 9 and is defaulted to le el 5. Le el 1 is the
least sensiti e and le el 9 is the most sensiti e with respect to moisture detection.
7.4.7 Alarm Type
This function sets the Alarm type which is sent as part of the radio transmission upon
sensor acti ation. This allows for different types of sensors plugged into the same
SensorMATe to be identified indi idually without selecting different radio Alarm ID codes.
7.4.8 Std. Alarm Count
This allows the installer to set the number of primary alarms that occur before the unit either
stops transmitting or subsequently transmits an “Upscale Alarm”. The number of
transmissions is configurable between 1 and 10. Pressing the “Mute Alarm” key will stop
subsequent transmissions during the repeat cycle.
7.4.9 Alarm Rep. Del. (m)
This function sets the period of time that a retransmission of the alarm e ent is set to occur
at. The SensorMATe must be either muted or the alarm condition reset to pre ent
retransmissions. It can be configured for a repeat delay in minutes of anywhere in-between
5 and 45 minutes.
Note: f the SensorMATe is being used with a Neo Carephone it may be desirable to
inhibit this function to prevent repeat alarms being transmitted to the Alarm
response center. To inhibit simply select the Std. Alarm Count to “1”
7.4.10 Upscale Alarms
This function sets the number of “Upscale alarms” which are to be transmitted. This function
can be used as a management tool highlighting staff training requirements and ensuring
that raised alarms are being dealt with at source in a timely manner. The function can be
set to transmit between a count of “0” which is displayed as “Off” and “9”.
7.4.11 Upscale Rep.Dly (m)
This function sets the repeat delay period that the up-scaled alarm transmission is set to
occur at. The SensorMATe must be either muted or the alarm condition reset to pre ent
retransmissions. It can be configured for a repeat delay in minutes of anywhere in-between
5 and 45 minutes.

Page 18
7.4.12 Day Start Hour
Input the hour you wish “Day time” monitoring to begin. Note lea e at “0” if there is no
required configuration differences between Night and Day.
7.4.13 Day Start Mins
Input the minute you wish “Day time” monitoring to begin. Note lea e at “0” if there is no
required configuration differences between Night and Day.
7.4.14 Night Start Hour

required configuration differences between Night and Day.
7.4.15 Night Start Mins.
Input the minute you wish “Night time” monitoring to begin. Note lea e at “0” if there is no
required configuration differences between Night and Day.
7.5 Room Temp Alarm
This function allows the integral temperature measurement circuitry of the SensorMATe
to be used. It has a specified accuracy of ± 2° C. An alarm will be raised when the
ambient temperature goes outside of the defined parameters. The “Room Temp. Alarm”
configuration pages allows the installer control of the following functions:
• Enab ed – Select to “Yes” to enable and “No” to inhibit the facility.
• Low Temp. (°C) – Adjustment for low temp. set point between 5 °C and 19°C.
• Low A arm Repeats – Configurable between 0 (Off) and 9 repeats.
• High Temp. (°C) - Adjustment for high temp. set point between 21 °C and 50°C.
• High A arm Repeats – Configurable between 0 (Off) and 9 repeats.
• A arm Rep.Dly. – Configurable in 5 minute steps between 10 and 60 minutes.
• A arm Type – Pick the required alarm type to be used when the alarm is
transmitted from “std/any” (alarm type 0) or “temperature” (alarm type 47)
Note: f the “Room Temp Alarm” is used ensure the unit is placed away from
areas which may not give a true reading of the Room ambient temperature such
as Gas boilers, fires, radiators, external walls etc.
7.6 Radio Settings
This area contains settings for adjusting the following radio parameters:
• Sing e Receiver – This setting allows the SensorMATe to stop transmitting when
it recei es an “Acknowledgement” signal transmitted back from the target
recei er. This setting increases battery life and decreases the chance of cross
talk interference by controlling the amount of RF data that the unit transmits.

Page 19
Note: This setting should be set to “No” when there are multiple recei ers in a
system. This will pre ent the first recei er acknowledging receipt of the signal
and potentially stopping the SensorMATe transmission before other recei ers
ha e recei ed the data.
• LoBatt.A .Type – This allows configuration of the type of alarm transmitted upon
automatic low battery transmission. It is selectable between “std/any” or “battery”.
• Use ID1 for a ? – This setting allows all the connected sensors, the integral
temperature sensor and any fault conditions to send out the same alarm radio
code. Differentiation of the type of alarm raised from the connected sensors is
made by assigning different alarm types to the respecti e input de ices.
• A arm ID no. 1 – Allows the assigned 4 digit hexadecimal radio code to be edited
to a oid conflicts between local de ices. Note: Radio codes “0000” and “FFFF”
cannot be entered as alarm IDs.
• A arm ID no.2 to 8– As abo e for IDs no 2 - 8 inclusi e.
Note: Please see the table below for the default radio alarm ID allocation.
Display Meaning
Alarm ID1 (LH ip) Alarm ID for RJ12 Connector (left socket)
Alarm ID2 (LH ups.) Upscale Alarm ID for RJ12 Connector (left socket)
Alarm ID3 (RH ip) Alarm ID for RJ10/22 connector (Right Socket)
Alarm ID4 (RH ups.) Upscale Alarm ID for RJ10/22 connector (Right Socket)
Alarm ID5 (o.ofbed) Alarm ID applicable to “Bed Usage” time
Alarm ID6 (PT err.) Alarm ID sent upon detection of a Paper thin error
Alarm ID7 (temp.) Alarm ID sent for a low or high temperature condition
Alarm ID8 (lo batt.) Alarm ID sent for a low battery condition
7.7 Test Mode
This menu shows the condition of both of the inputs and can be used to confirm sensor
operation or operating conditions for equipment configuration.
The screen displays a “-“symbol against the rele ant input pins when the connection is
open circuit and a “C” when the connection is closed.
Radio transmissions can also be tested in this area. To test a transmission, use the up
and down arrows to select the rele ant transmitter ID#. This is shown in re erse ideo in
the center of the display. Upon selection of the “Enter” button the SensorMATe will
transmit the rele ant radio code; the selected ID# will change to an Antenna symbol
during transmission.

Page 20
Pressing and holding the “Enter” button causes the unit to continuously transmit the
selected Alarm ID. This function is a useful tool for radio range testing as it allows the
installer to easily test that the unit transmits reliably to all areas of a property.
The unit also has the capability to analyze the ser iceability, calibration and operation of
the molded capaciti e sensing pod and mat. A numerical alue displayed in the bottom
left hand corner of the test menu indicates the strength of the applied capacitance to the
mat which will ary dependent on the material used between the body and the mat. A
reading of “0” can indicate that a mat has been soiled with moisture or is in direct contact
with human skin. Note: This facility is not a ailable unless an intelligent sensing pod is
plugged into the RJ12 (LH Socket).
The test mode o errides the monitoring of alarms and ignores any input settings. Normal
monitoring resumes on selection of “Exit” or automatically approximately 1 minute after
last button selection.
Whilst in “Test Mode” selection of the “Mute” key for approximately 2 Seconds brings up
the keypad, screen, and watch dog timer built in test facility. This test facility allows the
installer to confirm operation of the following functions and components:
• The membrane keypad.
• LCD Display. (Pixel operation).
• Watchdog timer reset function.
Na igation through the “Built in Test” facility is carried out using the Mute key. Simply
follow the on screen prompts as desired.
