Installation and user guide How to install The Universal Sensor should be installed in a clean, dry environment and for optimum radio performance should be mounted away from metallic surfaces. The Universal Sensor can be fastened to the wall etc. by a variety of methods – integral keyhole slots, sticky pads, Velcro etc. The installer must determine the most appropriate method.
Installation and user guide How to connect to other equipment Door Usage (including use as part of a virtual property exit sensor or ADLife)* – a. Connect the Universal Sensor by either; i. Wiring it to the door contacts supplied (using the supplied wire) ii. Using the internal reed switch with the magnetic door contact (the wire on the Universal Sensor can be cut off) b.
Installation and user guide How to Configure The Universal Sensor is configured using a switch module (see figure 1) on the rear of the unit which allows configuration of: 312MHz radio message (e.g. personal, high temp etc) whether external on/off switch is operational normally open or normally closed input type master on/off switch for the unit – the Universal Sensor is supplied with this switch in the off position. Figure 1.
Installation and user guide Explanation of Radio Messages Each radio message along with its most common use is described below. PERSONAL This simulates the call from a personal trigger. This is not generally used however it could be used to enable third party devices to send a personal trigger alert to the Tunstall system. HIGH TEMP This simulates the call from a temperature extreme sensor indicating a high temperature.
Installation and user guide PULL CORD This simulates the call from a pull cord. This is not generally used however it could be used to enable third party devices to send a pull cord alert to the Tunstall system. ENURESIS This simulates the call from an enuresis sensor. This is not generally used however it could be used to enable third party devices to send an enuresis alert to the Tunstall system.
Installation and user guide This simulates the call from a door left open and generates an immediate call to that effect. This is not generally used however it could be used to enable third party devices to send a door left open alert to the Tunstall system. PES WANDER This simulates the call of a property exit sensor when a client has left their property. It generates an immediate call to this effect when the door is opened.
Installation and user guide How to program to the Tunstall PERS The Universal Sensor enables Plug and Play programming. This is achieved by putting the Tunstall PERS into radio trigger assign mode and then generating a radio transmission from the Universal Sensor by activating the device to which it is connected (e.g. door contacts, bed sensor mat). 1. 2. 3. 4. Press the cancel button on the Tunstall PERS unit until it beeps (some units will announce ‘programming mode’).
Installation and user guide Common set up examples 1. Virtual Bed Absence Sensor. This is simply used to generate an alarm event if a client has got out of bed for longer than a configurable time and within a set time period. It relies on a period of bed occupancy for at least 30 seconds before it is ready. The Universal Sensor requires an input from a bed mat and is set for normally open. All configuration of times and monitoring periods must be set using PC Connect.
Installation and user guide 2. Virtual Property Exit. This is used to raise a simple alarm if a client opens an exit door and does not return after a pre-configured time and within a set time period. It relies on the use of magnetic door contacts fitted to the exit door and a PIR to detect activity through the door.
Installation and user guide Once set and during the set time period, the activation process is started when the door is opened. If the PIR does not see activity after that time and for a set period then an alarm is raised. The door must be closed to reset. Note it is important to fit the PIR so it does not detect the person moving beyond the open door (i.e. outside). Configure sensor location, virtual property exit sensor times and other settings using PC Connect. 3.
Installation and user guide 4. Property Exit This is used to raise an immediate alarm when any allocated door is opened. It can only be reset when the door is closed again. It does not conform to any timers. Set the Universal Sensor as follows; PES DOOR External switch disabled Input NC Battery connected The external switch can be used to disable when required otherwise an alarm will be sent every time the door is opened.
Installation and user guide Service Information The Universal Sensor contains no user serviceable parts. It contains a Lithium battery, which has an anticipated minimum life of 5 years (typical usage). This battery is not userreplaceable and when it has expired, the Universal Sensor should either be disposed of according to current local regulations or returned to Tunstall for a new battery to be fitted.
Installation and user guide Regulatory Compliance 312MHz Universal Sensor (Part Number 41004/30) Federal Communications Commission (FCC) notices FCC ID: G2X-4100430 This Device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Installation and user guide Radio Equipment - Canadian Warning Statements IC:1231A-4100430 Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
