- set up beside the bed, to alert staff when a resident swing their legs out of the bed/ beside the mattress

Instructions
1 – Set up the Sensor Beam in required location/ position and ensure placement of cables does not create a trip hazard.
2- Plug the Sensor Beam into the nurse call system. In the nurse call point when the Sensor Beam style includes a replacement call bell pendant or into an aux point if no call bell attached.
3 – Plug the 240 volt power supply into a power socket.
4 – Ensure that the ‘power’ light on the back of the sensor is on
5 – Turn ON/OFF switch to ON Note: Once the on/off switch is ON, the beam will alarm for the first 30 seconds. During this 30 second period the sensor is studying its environment and adjusting its settings accordingly. This will only occur after it has been plugged in to a 240v wall socket or power has been turned off/on at the power socket– not applicable when switched on and off from the switch on the head of the sensor beam.
6 – After the 30 second warm up period the Sensor Beam operation should be tested. Wave your hand in front of the beam to mimic resident movement. The sensor beam should create an alarm to your nurse call system in the same way pressing the call bell pendant would.
7 – If applicable, test the new call pendant attached to the sensor beam. *** Please test the Sensor Beam regularly thereafter
