SF501ES Water-Resistant Single Button Call TransmitterSF501ES Water-Resistant Single Button Call Transmitter
The Alpha Communications® / TekTone SF501ES Single Button Call Pendant
Transmitter features the great range and reliability of 900 MHz in a small, water-
resistant package. Users can wear the pendant in the shower or bathtub, outside in
the rain, or other environments where the pendant may be splashed with water, or
momentarily submerged. A single-button design with "press and one second hold"
activation makes the pendant very easy to use, yet still reduces false alarms. When
the SF501ES is activated, it continues to send an alarm signal until its reset button,
located on the back, is pressed.
The SF501ES is especially suited for assisted living installations. Weighing only 1.4
ounces, it includes both a neck cord and a belt clip, and can easily be converted
by the end user. An optional model RP503 small (ladies) or RP504 large (mens)
wristband allows the pendant to be worn on the wrist or the arm.
The SF501ES features a fully supervised RF link to ensure reliability. The built-in LED
flashes with all transmissions, including supervision, so the user can see the
transmitter is still functioning. The battery is a field-replaceable long-life 3V lithium
type, and is included.
