EachSensor’sRole
For each sensor there is a defined sensor role indicating the placement or type of activity that that sensor is
measuring. Sensor roles are: Bathroom, Bedroom, Living Area, Outside Bath, Near Door, Door Contact,
Meals, and Medication Storage. Roles are assigned to device types during the installation:
Sensor Role Description
A: Bathroom Catches motion inside the bathroom—to
measure both the number of bathroom visits and
any visit lasting longer than the predetermined
bathroom visit limit for that resident. May
indicate a possible bathroom fall.
B: Meal Prep Detects meal preparation activities—to measure
the number of daily meals
D: Bedroom Detects activity in the bedroom or sleep area.
May also act as both bedroom and bathroom exit
detection sensor in cases where bathroom is in
bedroom.
F: Living Area Detects activity in the area the senior spends the
most time in the home outside the bedroom or
bathroom. This is usually a living room or T.V.
area. Also counts towards detecting AM
Bedroom Exit. If possible, place this sensor such
that it may also detect the client before exiting
the home, as well as the main living area.
G: Outside Bathroom Detects exits from the bathroom—to prevent a
false Possible Bathroom Fall alert. Also counts
towards AM Bedroom Exit.
K: Near Door Detects motion in entrances and exits of the
residence- to detect people entering or exiting
the residence for “bed-checks”, or if the resident
leaves the room when they’re not supposed to,
the optional “Wander” alert may be detected via
this sensor. This sensor role may be installed
with a “Door Contact” sensor as well to improve
reliability.
LabelingSensors
When servicing and maintaining the installed sensors, it is important to know what sensor you are working
with. To be sure a sensor is identifiable by sensor type, please be sure to use the labels provided in the extra
sensor package to identify the additional sensor.
If you are using a sensor from the existing room kit (for example, reassigning the Medication Sensor to be
Near Door sensor), be sure to take the sensor designation label off of the sensor.
ReplacingSensorBatteries
The QuietCare system sensors require a 9V battery to operate. When the remaining voltage in the battery is
too low, this may cause the sensors to send false motion events, or to stop detecting any events, so it’s
important to change the batteries as soon as you can, upon receiving a “Low Battery” notification from
QuietCare.
