IMPORTANT: Before installing the Companion epilepsy

monitor, you will need to have sufficient knowledge of the

client to make the necessary risk assessment. This

assessment will establish suitability of the equipment and

sensors required to provide a safe environment with

comprehensive support.

This instruction guide contains basic information only.

Refer to the Alert-it Companion Monitor Handbook

supplied in the carton or download from;

https://alert-it.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/UH1454-

Wired-Companion-Handbook.pdf

Positioning

The bed sensor should be installed beneath the mattress

positioned below the torso, it is suitable for most bed

types including profiling and airflow. Clip the microphone

near to the user, i.e. on the headboard or bedside lamp

shade. The epilepsy monitor should be left plugged-in to

the mains supply to maintain battery charge.

Alarm Condition

An alarm call is transmitted if the under-mattress bed

sensor detects abnormal fast and continued movements or

if the microphone senses repetitive bursts of sound.

Low Battery Condition

If the mains supply fails the internal battery will maintain

operation for up to 15 hours. When the battery is almost

fully discharged the “Movement” and “Sensor 2” lights will

flash together repeatedly. The battery will be recharged

when the mains supply is restored.

If the Telecare transceiver battery becomes low this will be

reported automatically to the Alarm Receiving Centre

(ARC) or the local Manager. The complete epilepsy monitor

must be returned to Tynetec for battery replacement.

Out of Range Notification (Reach IP)

The Reach IP 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.

Maintenance

Wipe with a damp cloth, do not use solvents or cleaners on

the epilepsy monitor.

Disposal

Waste electrical products should not be disposed

of with normal household waste. The epilepsy

monitor 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.

Warning

The epilepsy monitor contains a rechargeable Nickel Metal

Hydride and a Lithium battery.

If tampered with the batteries may be damaged and create

a fire hazard. Do not incinerate.

How to install the Epilepsy Monitor

1. Position the epilepsy monitor on the bedside table or

under the bed. Make sure the RESET button is accessible.

2. Attach the bed sensor to the foam pad using the Velcro

fixings supplied. The bed sensor and foam pad should be

placed under the mattress on a firm bed base. Ensure the

sensor is on the top surface of the foam and is positioned

directly below the occupant’s torso

Note: if the bed has a

slatted base, position

the sensor and foam

pad on top of a square

of heavy cardboard.

3. Clip the microphone near to where the user rests their

head, i.e. on the headboard or bedside lamp shade.

4. Plug the bed sensor, microphone and mains adapter into

the epilepsy monitor as shown below...

Mains Adapter Microphone I B I Bed Sensor I A I

On/Off Sliding Switch

5. Slide the cover off the battery compartment on the

underside of the bedside monitor. Connect the battery

and remove the miniature screwdriver which may be

needed to adjust the sensitivity and time delays settings.

Refit the battery compartment cover.

6. Switch the epilepsy monitor on using the sliding switch

on the side of the unit (see photo above) - this ensures the

battery is functioning correctly. Plug the mains adapter

into the socket marked 12vdc, plug into the mains supply

and switch on at the wall.

7. On power-up the unit will enter a 30 second self-test

mode during which the Power light will FLASH GREEN.

8. When the Power light goes STEADY GREEN the unit is

active and monitoring its sensors.

How to test the Epilepsy Monitor

Tap the mattress and the “Movement” light should FLASH

RED with each tap. The amount of force needed to make

the light flash can be adjusted.

Make sharp sounds or fingers clicks near to where the

users head will be positioned and the “Sensor 2” light

should FLASH RED with each sound. The loudness of the

sound to make the light flash can be adjusted.

When either sensor is stimulated the corresponding light

will illuminate STEADY RED and the time delay starts.

The light will stay on after each movement or sound is

detected for the rate time set on the “Time Delay” switch

(see table below). If the sensor activity stops the light will

go out and the time delay is reset without sending an

alarm. To register an alarm the movement or sound

triggers must be faster than this rate. If the sensor

remains activated the RED ALARM light will come on and

an epilepsy alarm signal will be transmitted.

How to adjust the Sensitivity

The sensitivity setting set at half-way should be suitable

for detecting spasms in a domestic bed. For maximum

sensitivity turn the control clockwise (with the miniature

screwdriver supplied) but not so far that the red light is

permanently on or flashing. Turn anticlockwise to reduce

sensitivity whilst ensuring the red light flashes each time a

stimulus at the anticipated level is made.

How to adjust the Time Delay

This is the time for which the distress condition (sound or

movement) must occur before an alarm is transmitted.

The delay is set by altering the position of the small rotary

switch with the miniature screwdriver according to the

table below;

TIME DELAY

TIME (SECS)

RATE (SECS)

2.5

1.5

5.5

1.5

The delay should be set to minimize false alarms during

normal sound or movement. The default time delay of 15

seconds (position 3) will normally be a good compromise

between speed of detection and avoiding false alarms

during nocturnal restlessness or coughing, turning, etc.
