Positioning

The Pill Dispenser is a free-standing unit which can be

placed on any flat surface within the home.

Operation

The Pill Dispenser will sound an alarm, flash a red light

and the display will show “TAKE MED” when it’s time for

the user to take their medication.

It will make the correct dosage available at the correct

time each day, at all other times the pills are securely

locked inside the dispenser.

If the pills are not taken, an alert will be sent to the

Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or local Manager.

Warning

Certain medication should not be exposed to the air and

should therefore not be placed in automatic dispensers; if

in doubt check with a Pharmacist.

Medication Time Alert

When the alarm sounds the shutter will be unlocked. The

pills are removed from the dispenser by tilting it through

90o and pouring them into the hand.

The tilting action will silence the

alarm then re-lock the shutter

again after 2 minutes.

If the dispenser is not tilted

the alarm will continue

until the programmable

AFTER time has expired

(5 mins to 5 hours). When

half the AFTER time expires an

alarm call will be transmitted to the ARC or the

local Manager. When the full AFTER time has expired

another alarm will be transmitted and the shutter will lock

to prevent the possibility of 2 doses being taken within a

short time (i.e. potential double-dosing).

Dispenser Left Upside Down

If the Pill Dispenser is upside down when an alarm occurs,

the alarm will sound as normal, but the tray will not turn

until the dispenser is returned upright.

If more than one alarm time has passed whilst the

dispenser has been upside down the dispenser will present

the correct medication for that time.

Low Battery Condition

If the battery level falls below 20% the display will show

“LOWBATT” in sequence with the DATE/TIME.

If the batteries have not been replaced by 00:05:10 (five

minutes and 10 seconds after midnight) a low battery

condition will be reported automatically to the ARC or the

local Manager. This will repeat every night at 00:05:10

until the batteries are replaced.

If the battery percentage falls to 0% the Pill Dispenser will

cease to operate, it will bleep, and the display will show

“ERROR 10”. The battery level can be checked at any time

by tilting the dispenser forward (between 15 and 40

degrees); after the “NEXT DOSE” and “DOSES LEFT”

information the battery level remaining will be displayed

e.g. “B 75%”.

All programming is retained when the batteries are

replaced. The time may need correcting if the batteries are

left out or are completely out of charge.

Replacement batteries: 4 x 1.5V Alkaline AA Rechargeable

batteries may also be used but ensure the “BATT” function

in Menu B is set as “NIMH”.

Error Alarm

If the tray fails to rotate due to an obstruction an alarm

will sound, and the display will show ERROR 01, 04 or 08.

This can be cleared by pressing button 3. Any obstruction

should be removed. When the obstruction is cleared retest

the unit. If the fault cannot be rectified contact your

supplier.

Out of Range Notification (Reach IP/NOVO)

The Reach IP/NOVO can monitor all radio peripheral

devices to determine whether they have been damaged or

removed from an installation. Should the Reach IP be

unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will automatically

generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly,

investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not,

arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced

immediately.

The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to

99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be

disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each

peripheral device in Pulse CMP.

Self-Test Mode

The tray rotation, light and alarm sound can all be tested

and demonstrated by pressing and holding all 3 buttons

down together until TEST is displayed. Press button 3 to

start a whole alarm sequence, the display will show

“DEMO”. Close the lid and the tray will turn to the open

position.

The alarm will sound, the light will flash, and the display

will show “TAKE MED”.

Pick the dispenser up and tip forward to demonstrate

dispensing the medication.

The display will show “CLOSE” and the tray will turn to the

locked position.

Press button 3 to repeat or press and hold button 1 for a

few seconds to end.

Cleaning

Dispenser unit: do not submerge in water, wipe clean with

a damp cloth only and polish with a dry duster. Avoid using

strong detergents or furniture polish.

Internal Tray: may be washed in warm water or in a dish

washer (max 70oC).

Disposal

Waste electrical products should not be disposed

of with normal household waste. The Pill

Dispenser is ideally suited for disposal within the

waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE)

recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist.

Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for

recycling/disposal advice.

Loading the Pill Dispenser

The Pill Dispenser is provided with clearly printed discs.

These discs identify the day of the week and the

appropriate number of doses per day (between

1 and 4). A blank disc is provided for those on 5 or more

doses per day. Place the appropriate disc for the required

pill dosage on top of the tray taking care to line-up the

holes and push down over the 4 locating pins. Use the disc

as a guide when placing the pills. After filling, position the

tray so that the compartment with the first dose to be

taken by the user is to the right of the opening.

Resetting the Doses Left Display

Each time medication is dispensed the number of “DOSES

LEFT” will reduce by 1.

When the tray is re-filled it is important to reset the

counter by pressing button 2 until “TRAY Z” is displayed.

If the dispenser is working in the “SECURE” mode, the tray

will move a half turn to lock the shutter.

The number of “DOSES LEFT” will now be the same as the

number entered in the “FILLED” quantity setting.

Close the lid and lock with the key supplied.

The refill frequency will depend on the number of daily

doses; once a day refill every 28 days, twice a day refill

every 14 days, three times a day refill every 9 days, four

times a day refill every 7 days, etc.
