6.7 Connecting to the nurse call system or other signal receivers
All components required for connection (with the exception of any Y adapter that may be
necessary) are supplied with the system. In order to ensure that the system functions smooth-
ly with your nurse call system, certain things must be noted:
The adapter cable must be designed individually for the nurse call system installed in the
house and must be ordered separately. Connect the system to the nurse call system by atta-
ching the nurse call cable to the adapter cable through the XLR connector and the other end
to the call system.
To allow you to continue using the handheld switch on your nurse call system and also to
connect SafeSense
socket, a Y-adapter is required. You can obtain one from your call system manufacturer. Please
also ask the manufacturer about any risks and other information that should be noted.
If there is a Y cable for the corresponding call system, both connectors on the Y cable may
need to be occupied (e.g. by a handheld switch).
wissner-bosserhoff is not responsible for the incorrect use of Y adapters or any possible dama-
ge to the call system that may result, and accepts no liability for such damage.
Attention!
wissner-bosserhoff accepts no liability for untransmitted or incorrectly transmitted
signals to the nurse call system or other signal receivers. Before installing the Safe-
Sense
Bed-Exit System, therefore, please contact the manufacturer to check the
®
compatibility of your nurse call system and any other information that may need to
be taken into account.
Calibrating a wireless receiver
The first time the wireless SafeSense
receiver must be calibrated. This is done in three steps:
1. Press the button on the front of the wireless receiver. The light will start to blink.
2. Trigger an alarm by setting the time interval to 0 seconds and putting pressure on the sen-
sor mat with your hand. After three seconds, remove your hand from the sensor mat. The
blinking of the light on the wireless receiver will change.
3. Press the button on the front of the wireless receiver again. This is now calibrated to the
SafeSense
system and will transmit the signal to the nurse call system.

Please note: The wireless receiver can be programmed to up to 30 senders. The-
refore, for safety reasons, only one SafeSense
wireless receiver at any time. If you wish to move the system to another location
(e.g. another room), you will need to take the wireless receiver as well.
