Posey 8621 Application Instructions

Before You Begin:

The Posey Transmitter and Posey Receiver are designed to convert a Posey
Sitter Elite or Posey KeepSafe
®
alarm. The Posey Receiver connects to a centrally located Posey Alarm via
the Sensor Port and mounts below on the 8208 Posey Wall Bracket. The
Posey Transmitter is compatible with all Posey Sensors. The Posey
Transmitter and Posey Receiver must be paired for proper operation. "Pairing"
means that a connection is established between the Transmitter and
Receiver. Eliminating the cord between the alarm and sensor is designed to
promote a safer, more convenient environment for patients and care staff.
NOTE: Failure to use care may damage the wireless receiver or transmitter
and render the unit non-operational.
NOTE: Before use, make sure to read the instructions for use for the
appropriate alarm (Posey Sitter Elite or Posey KeepSafe Deluxe alarm). A
copy of the alarm instructions is included with the alarm and can also be
downloaded at www.posey.com.
This device may not be suitable for all high fall-risk patients. See
•
Posey catalog for other options for such patients.
NEVER connect Posey Receiver to other manufacturers' alarms.
•
NEVER connect Posey Transmitter to other manufacturers' sensors.

Instructions For Use:

Getting Started:

2. Install 2-AA batteries in each device.
3. Mount the Receiver onto alarm bracket as shown
(Fig 1 and 2). Mount the Transmitter onto bracket
(see mounting sections of Sitter Elite or KeepSafe
Deluxe IFUs).
4. Attach the Receiver cord to the Posey Sitter Elite or
Posey KeepSafe Deluxe alarm sensor port (Fig 3).
5. Turn on Posey alarm and put in Hold mode.
6. Install Posey sensor at desired location.
7. Place or mount Transmitter near the Posey sensor.
8. Plug in Posey sensor into Transmitter.

Paring Transmitter and Receiver:

9. To pair the devices, press and then release the pairing button
on each of the devices (Fig 4A, 4B). Make sure that the YELLOW
LED blinks quickly and then the RED LED blinks every 4 seconds
(devices are paired).
Fig. 4A: Transmitter pairing button
NOTE: If the YELLOW LED blinks slowly (every 2 seconds) on either
device, this indicates the device has previously been paired to another
device. To clear existing pairing, hold pairing button for 5-10 seconds
(until the YELLOW LED fi rst blinks quickly followed by the RED LED
blinking every one second).

10. When the new pairing setup is complete, the transmitter and receiver
should have the GREEN LED blinking every 4 seconds when the
patient is actually being monitored. The RED LED will blink every 4
seconds when a patient exits the sensor or when the sensor is in
failsafe mode or if on hold/suspend.
NOTE: Transmitters and receivers that have not yet been paired (brand new
and not used or previously used and unpaired) will have the RED LED blink
every one second.
NOTE: If the YELLOW LED blinks slowly (every 2 seconds) this indicates that
the device is attempting to pair to another device.
The alarm and sensor must remain within a distance of 20 feet
to properly pair. Once paired, if either device is moved outside the 20-foot
range, they will lose connection.

Testing:

11. Activate the Posey
Sensor by applying
pressure on the pad.

12. Ensure GREEN
LED blinks on both

13. Remove pressure from the Posey Sensor pad.
14. Ensure the RED LED blinks on both Transmitter and Receiver and
Alarm is alarming.
15. Place patient on the Posey Sensor pad.
