SENSOR PAD SETUP
This alarm features an under-mattress sensor pad that is
protected against incontinence and wear by the mattress.
Unlike sensor pads that are placed on the mattress, the BedPro
UnderMattress sensor will not compromise the pressure
relieving qualities of the mattress. Placed beneath the mattress,
the BedPro sensor pad stays in place to reduce false alarms.
This is especially important for restless residents.
System Operation for when the BedPro UnderMattress, Early Warning UnderMattress or
OverMattress sensor pads have been properly installed.
Whenever the alarm is initiated, pressing the “Auto-Reset” button on top of the alarm unit will silence it. Pressing this button
puts the system into stand-by mode. The system will automatically go into monitoring mode when you put your resident to bed.
There’s no need to remember to turn the system on. Skil-Care recommends the following procedure for using the BedPro

Nurse-Call Interface
The BedPro Safety Alarm is easily connected to
the nurse-call system in your facility. It is designed
to permit the regular use of the resident’s nurse-call
button without activating the alarm. You may choose to
have the alarm sound at bedside and the nurse’s station,
or to signal only at the nurse’s station.
See instructions below.
1. Set the “In-Room Alarm” switch on the back of the
alarm to the “Hi” or Low” positions if you want the alarm to
sound both at bedside and the nurse’s station (Illustration C1).
Set the switch to the “Off” position for the alarm to signal only
at the nurse’s station (Illustration C2).
Important: Set the switch to the “Hi” or “Low” positions when
testing the alarm. There will be no audible signal when the
“In-Room” switch is set to “Off”.
2. Inset one end of the supplied nurse-call interface cable into
the receptacle labeled “Nurse-Call Connection” located on the
right side of the alarm unit (Illustration D).
Mount alarm unit on headboard. To prevent resident tampering,
alarm unit should face the wall.
3. Remove nurse-call button cable from the wall socket and
insert Y-connector (Illustration E).
4. Plug both the nurse-call button cable and the alarm
nurse-call interface cable into the Y-connector (Illustration F).
Test operation of both the resident’s nurse-call button
and the alarm unit’s nurse-call interface by:
a. Pressing resident’s nurse-call button and verifying
that the signal is received at nurse’s station; and
b. Pressing “Power-Test” button on the left side of the
alarm unit and verifying that the signal is received at
the nurse’s station.
If either or both fail to work, check all connections
and retest.
Sensor Pad Setup for BedPro UnderMattress System (contd.)
1. Remove mattress and place sensor pad across width of bed frame
(Illustration G1 and G2), for 2 year sensor, see Illustration G3.
Where access permits attach 2 year sensor with hook and loop
strap provided
2. Position connector cable toward headboard. The opposite
end must be positioned just below the resident’s pelvis.
3. Pass sensor cable under headboard and tuck it under the
Cable Strain-Relief tab before inserting it into the Modular
Connection (Illustration H). The strain-relief tab prevents the
plug from being accidentally dislodged and damaged. Be certain
to keep cable away from side rails and out of resident’s reach.
4. Place mattress on bed.
5. Sensor maybe cleaned with a damp cloth and mild cleanser.
Do not immerse pad in water or cleaning solution. Do not sterilize.
6. Inspect pad before each use. Replace if damaged.

mattresses and beds. However, due to differences in mattress construction,
bed designs , and resident weight, this sensor pad may not work in all

Proceed to “System Operation” on page 6. See page 6 for information
about ordering replacement sensor pads.
Sensor Pad Setup for BedPro Early Warning UnderMattress System
