Check-in Pull Cord
A Check-in Pull Cord enables the staff or patient to push a green button to
check-in. Pressing the green button indicates to the system that the patient
has checked in or been visited by staff. The type of check-in depends on
how your Pull Cord is configured (refer to the Series 6.0 Software
Administrator Guide).
Types of check-in
• Patient Check-in—A patient pushes the button to notify the staff that
he/she is awake and does not require assistance.
• Staff Check-in—A staff member pushes the check-in button once they
have checked on a patient.
• Staff Care Complete—A staff member pushes the check-in button in
response to an Assistance Required alarm once the patient has been
checked on and the alarming device is reset. If JCAHO is enforced, this will clear the White
alarm from the Client computer.
Smoke Detector
If your facility is using wireless smoke detectors in conjunction with your Series 6.0
Software, a Smoke alarm event is reported in the Event List each time a smoke
detector is activated. A smoke detector can be supervised; a routine signal is sent
from the device and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event
is generated in the Event List at the computer. The Smoke Detector is powered by a
replaceable 3-volt battery.
PIR Sensor
The Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor is a motion detector used to sense motion in a
room or hallway. Or, it can be used as an Inactivity-Check-in device to sense when
no motion is detected within a set period of time (refer to “Inactivity Check-in” in
the Series 6.0 Software User Guide). An Assistance Required alarm event is
reported in the Event List each time the detector is activated.
A PIR motion detector can be supervised; a routine signal is sent from the device
and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is generated in
the Event List. The PIR Sensor is powered by a replaceable 3-volt battery.
