Installation and user guide Page 3 of 20 Introduction The 312 MHz Universal Sensor is a telecare sensor intended for use with Tunstall Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) operating on the frequency 312MHz. Please refer to the Tunstall PERS documentation for compatibility and related information. The Universal Sensor is predominantly used either as a door usage sensor (using the supplied door contacts), connected to a bed sensor mat or connected to other devices that are required to send radio messages to the Tunstall PERS. The Universal Sensor;  Can be used either with external switching contacts or the internal reed switch and is configurable for normally open or normally closed switching contacts.  Is fitted with an RJ11 socket for connection to the Tunstall bed sensor mat (part number D4106009A or S2010004) for use as part of a virtual sensor application or for sending activities of daily living data (ADLife).  Is fitted with an external on/off switch which can be used to switch the Universal Sensor on or off if necessary. This switch can optionally be disabled by a configuration setting (see ‘How to Configure’), if it is important that the Universal Sensor should not be switched off.  Can be easily configured to generate different radio messages that are appropriate to the equipment that the Universal Sensor is connected to. This allows ‘plug and play’ operation with Tunstall’s range of home units.  Incorporates an LED to indicate when the Universal Sensor has been activated  Is powered by an internal battery with a minimum life of 5 years (typical usage). This battery is automatically tested and when found to be low, an automatic radio signal will be sent to the Tunstall PERS.

Installation and user guide Page 5 of 20 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. Note that if the integral keyhole slots are used, then care must be taken to ensure that the screw heads do not come into contact with the circuit board within the Universal Sensor.
Installation and user guide Page 6 of 20 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. Then configure the sensor to send the ‘Door’ 312MHz radio message (see ‘How to Configure’)  Bed Sensor Mat (for use with the virtual bed sensor or ADLife)* – plug the bed sensor mat into the socket on the bottom of the Universal Sensor. Then configure the sensor to send the Bed ADLife radio message to the Tunstall PERS. (see ‘How to Configure’).  Other equipment - Connect the Universal Sensor to the output of the other equipment using the wire supplied. Then configure the sensor to send the appropriate 312MHz radio message (see ‘How to Configure’). *Note – The Tunstall PERS must support the virtual sensor and/or ADLife feature. PC Connect is required to configure these features.
Installation and user guide Page 7 of 20 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. Configuration Switch Settings  Switches 1-5 set the appropriate 312MHz radio message (see following pages for full descriptions)  Switch 6 enables/disables the external on/off switch  Switch 7 determines input type (normally open or normally closed)  Switch 8 is sensor battery on/off switch – must be set to ON Note: For switches 1-5, █ corresponds to the switch ON position. Switch 8 is switched to OFF when the sensor is supplied.

Installation and user guide Page 11 of 20 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. Press the cancel button on the Tunstall PERS unit until it beeps (some units will announce ‘programming mode’). 2. Press the cancel button again until the Tunstall PERS beeps 3. Then activate the Universal Sensor by activating the device to which it is connected (e.g. switch contacts, bed sensor mat). The LED on the Universal Sensor should flash to confirm a radio transmission has been sent. 4. The Tunstall home unit should beep to confirm the Universal Sensor has been programmed to the unit (some units will announce the name of the sensor that the Universal Sensor is configured to e.g. ‘door sensor programmed’)
Installation and user guide Page 12 of 20 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. Set the Universal Sensor as follows; BED ADLIFE On/off switch disabled Input NO Battery connected Connect the bed/chair mat to the universal sensor. Then assign the sensor to the Lifeline by going into radio program mode (see page 9) and activating the bed mat, the red LED on the universal sensor will flash and the Lifeline unit should respond correctly. Cut off the unused wires and place weight onto the mat for at least 60 seconds. Remove weight and check the sensor transmits. You can set the Lifeline into walk test mode to make this easier to verify and to test the radio range (Lifeline will beep when in and out of bed). Configure sensor location, virtual bed sensor times, ADLife and other settings using PC Connect.
Installation and user guide Page 13 of 20 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. Set the Universal Sensor as follows; DOOR External switch enabled Input NC Battery connected Assign the sensor to the Lifeline by going into radio program mode (see page 9) and then holding the door magnet to the side of the sensor where the reed switch relay is located. Then remove the magnet (simulating door opening). The red LED on the universal sensor will flash and the Lifeline unit should respond correctly. When configuring do not forget to allocate the location. Connect the door contacts with the wires or use the magnetic door contact with the internal reed switch. The wires can be cut off if not being used. Install sensor opposite the hinge side of the door and in line with the magnetic door contact. Check with walk test that opening and closing the door makes the Lifeline beep. Assign a Fast PIR as a standard PIR and ensure it can be fitted to monitor the door entrance. The external switch on the universal sensor can be used to disarm the virtual property exit sensor during an active time period if required.
Installation and user guide Page 14 of 20 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. Natural Gas This is wired to a mains powered natural gas detector that has a relay contact output. The Universal Sensor is set as follows; GAS External switch disabled Input NC Battery connected To assign to the Lifeline, go to radio program mode and then touch together and release the two wires connected to the universal sensor. The red LED on the universal sensor will flash and the Lifeline unit should respond correctly. Connect the wires to the NC output of the gas detector. Test the gas detector and check the Lifeline activates.
Installation and user guide Page 15 of 20 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. A magnetic contact is fitted to the door/frame and the internal reed relay used to recognise state changes. The wires on the universal sensor can be cut off. 5. Bed Absence This is used to raise an immediate alarm when a bed is vacated. It can only be reset when the bed is occupied again. It does not conform to any timers. Set the Universal Sensor as follows; BED ABSENCE External switch disabled Input NO Battery connected The external switch can be used to disable if required otherwise an alert will be sent every time the bed is vacated. A bed mat must be connected to the bed sensor input socket (the wires can be cut off).
