5. Maintenance

5.1. Checks

5.1.1. Weekly checks
1. Check the condition of the cables
2. Check the position of the bed sensor under the mattress. The correct position is at the
chest height of the user and across the bed.
5.1.2. Start-up and monthly checks
To ensure faultless performance, conduct the following tests at least once a month and whenever
the device is re-installed.
Testing the tonic-clonic seizure notification
1. Make fast-paced movements (e.g. tapping the mattress repeatedly around the bed sensor).
2. The green light should start flashing when you tap the mattress.
3. The device should trigger a notification after the preset delay time has passed (10, 13, 16
or 20 seconds).
Testing the absence notification sensitivity
1. Check that the function is activated. If it is not, set DIP switch 5 to OFF position. Make sure
that the control unit is on (blue LED flashes slowly).
NOTE:
To activate the changes, the batteries must be removed and the power supply
disconnected.
2. To test the sensitivity of the sensor, have a person lie on the bed completely still and
without talking. Wait at least 1–2 minutes. The control unit should immediately register
micro movements in the body and the green light should flash slowly every second time the
blue light flashes. The green light flashes constantly if a person is in the bed. The control
unit is activated when movements or micro movements have been registered for 40
seconds and the green light starts flashing in the same pace as the blue light.
3. If the device does not register presence of a person (green light does not flash), see section
6 Troubleshooting. If the green light still does not light up, increase the sensitivity by turning
the rotary switch up gradually until the green light lights up. If the green LED lights up when
no one is on the bed, turn the rotary switch down gradually until the green light is no longer
on.
4. Ask the person in the bed to leave the bed. A notification is triggered after the pre-set delay
time (provided that no one has touched sensor, bed or cables). If a notification is not
triggered and the green light continues to flash, see section 6 Troubleshooting).
