POWERING THE MONITOR

The CSM-BC400 is battery powered, with the ability to plug into AC power using the CSM-AC AC power adaptor/cord (sold separately) to minimize battery drain/ replacement.

Installation of four AA alkaline batteries is required, even when using the AC power connection. The batteries serve as a backup in the event of a power outage.

NOTE: Once batteries are installed, the monitor needs to be either syncronized to a

wireless pad (and kept within approximately 30 feet of each other) or have a corded pad plugged into it within ﬁve minutes, otherwise a PAD/SIGNAL LOST notiﬁcation will occur.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

1. Unscrew and remove the battery cover.

2. Install the four included AA batteries. Make sure they are oriented correctly (see

the illustration below).

3. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw.

PAUSE ON/OFF

TURNING THE MONITOR OFF

When you want to place the monitor out of use for any given period of time, remove all cords from the monitor and press the RESET button to cancel the alarm. The monitor will automatically be placed in a sleep mode

NOTE: The pad will remain programmed to the monitor unless it is either

sychronized to another pad or the monitor has a corded pad plugged into it. Therefore, if placing the monitor out of service for extended periods, removal of the batteries is recommended.

STRAIN RELIEF PAUSE FEATURE

The monitor’s strain relief helps prevent damage to the cord and input jack if there is excessive tension on the cord. To use the strain relief, plug the sensor pad/seat belt/ﬂoor mat cord intot he monitor and run it around the strain relief, as in the illustration below.

VOLUME CONTROL

The monitor is factory set at the highest volume. To adjust the volume, the switch on the left side of the monitor must be in the “KEY OFF” position, or if in the “KEY ON” position, requires ﬁrst overriding with the CareSense key (see “Tamper Resistance”).

To Turn Volume Up

1. Press and hold the VOLUME button to turn up. The LED will read “VOL. ”

and show bars on the bottom indicating the volume level, 1 bar indicates the lowest sound level and 7 bars the highest (see illustration below). When the volume is set to zero, the LED will read “VOL. OFF”.

2. Release the button when desired volume is reached.

To Turn Volume Down

1. Press and release the VOLUME button, then press and hold button to turn

down. The LED will read “VOL. ”.

2. Release button when desired volume is reached.

NOTE: Volume may not be adjusted when in the alarm mode.

TONE SELECTION

Tone Selection allows the caregiver to select between one of four tone options.

To change tones, press and release the TONE button located on the face of the monitor until desired tone is selected. LED will read “TONE” with between one and four note symbols signifying each of the four tone options.

DELAY CONTROL

The DELAY button controls the amount of time between when the patient removes themself off of the pad and when the monitor alarms. This function can reduce false alarms if, for example, the patient momentarily shifts off the pad, and then back onto the pad within the set delay time (between 0-4 seconds).

To adjust the delay time, the switch on the left side of the monitor must be in the “KEY OFF” position, or if in the “KEY ON” position, requires ﬁrst overriding with the CareSense key (see “tamper resistance”).

NOTE: The delay function does not work with the ﬂoor mat/cushion. The alarm

will always occur at 0 seconds delay regardless of the delay setting.

The delay time is factory set at 0 seconds. To change the delay time, follow the below instructions:

NOTE: The delay time range settings differ between the wireless pads (1.5 to

5.5 seconds) and the corded sensors (0 to 4 seconds). Environment and distance between monitor and pad may effect delay time. Test before using.

To Increase Delay Time

1. Press and hold button to increase time. LCD will read “DELAY XX SEC.”

indicating the number of delay seconds (see illustration).

2. Release button when desired delay time is reached.

To Decrease Delay Time

1. Press and release button, then press and hold button to decrease delay time.

The LCD will read “DELAY XX SEC.”

2. Release button when desired delay time is reached

This optional setting prevents the monitor from alarming for 30 seconds when pressing the Reset button while, for example, the caregiver takes the patient out of bed.

1. Turn the PAUSE ON/OFF switch located in the battery compartment to ON to

enable the monitor to operate the Pause feature.

2. The patient/resident should be positioned on the pad or have the seat belt

fastened

3. Press the RESET button to prevent it from alarming for 30 seconds. The LCD

will read “STANDBY XX SEC.” indicating the number of seconds remaining in the pause mode.

4. During the 30 second Pause Mode period, the patient/resident may be

removed from the pad or the seat belt can be unfastened without activating an alarm. If the patient/resident is placed back on the pad or the seat belt is fastened, the monitor will reactivate.

NOTE: If the sensor cord is removed during the pause mode, the monitor

will alarm when the 30 seconds have expired (no cord removal alarm will occur with the ﬂoor mat/pad).

5. When the 30 seconds have expired:

• If the patient/resident has not been placed back on the pad/seat belt refastened, the monitor will go into a sleep mode.

• If the patient/resident has been placed back on the pad/seat belt refastened, the monitor system will reactivate.

NOTE: When the PAUSE switch is in the OFF position, the RESET button will

only serve to cancel the alarm.

TAMPER RESISTANCE

This optional setting allows the caregiver to place the monitor in a tamper resistant mode by turning the switch on left side of monitor from KEY OFF to KEY ON. When in the KEY ON mode:

• The Reset/Pause, Volume, Delay, and Tone controls on the monitor will not function unless ﬁrst overridden by the CareSense Key. This is accomplished by positioning the KEY icon on CareSense Key over the matching KEY icon on the top right face of the monitor (see illustration below) and holding it over the icon until one of the control buttons is pressed.

• If the alarm has been activated, the alarm may be canceled as soon as the CareSense Key is positioned over the KEY icon on the monitor (there’s no need to press RESET button to cancel the alarm).

NOTE: When the switch is in the KEY OFF position, the Reset/Pause, Volume,

Delay, and Tone controls on the monitor are fully operational (no caregiver key is required to override).

CALL CORD USE

When connected to the monitor, a Nurse Call Cord allows the patient/resident to activate the monitor alarm and, if Nurse Call is connected, place a call to the Nurse’s Station (works with “normally open” nurse call systems only).

• 1⁄4" call cord plug is inserted into the monitor receptacle labeled “CALL CORD”

• The monitor alarms only when the call cord button is depressed (the LCD will read “NURSCALL ALARM”)– when the button is released, the monitor alarm will cease. Nurse Call, if connected, will remain on until it is reset at the patient station.

• If the Call Cord is removed from the monitor, the monitor will alarm, and a call will be placed to the Nurse’s Station (if connected). The LCD will read “CALLCORD LOST”. The alarm may be cancelled by pressing the RESET button or reinserting the Call Cord jack into the monitor. Nurse call, if connected, will remain on until reset.

RESET BUTTON

The RESET button provides the following two functions:

• Cancels the alarm

• Displays the number of life days remaining on the pad (see “Identifying the remaining Life of the Pad and Low Pad Notiﬁcation/Replacement”).

NOTE: To perform either of the above functions, the switch on the left side

of the monitor must be in the “KEY OFF” position, or if in the “KEY ON” position, requires ﬁrst overriding with the CareSense key (see “Tamper Resistance”).

The Wireless Nurse Call Relay Monitor (CSM-WNCR1) allows the caregiver to place the CSM-BC400 monitor outside of the patient room for increased common area alarm visibility, and to place the CSM-WNCR1 monitor next to and connected to the patient station to signal Nurse Call.

1. Follow “Synchronizing the Pad/Mat to the Monitor” steps for both monitors

in the “Wireless Bed and Chair Pad Use“ on page 7. This will allow the pad to wirelessly communicate with both monitors at the same time.

2. Mount the CSM-WNCR1 where the nurse call cable may be plugged into the

nurse call system, such as on the bed or on the wall. The CSM-WNCR1 must then be connected to the nurse call system in order to be able to signal nurse call.

WIRELESS TO CORDED PAD/MAT/SEATBELT

If you are moving a patient/resident from a wireless pad/sensor to a corded pad, there is no need to reprogram to the different pad:

• When the monitor is connected to the corded pad, it will communicate only with the corded chair pad and not with the wireless bed pad

• When the monitor is disconnected from the corded pad/sensor, it will alarm, but automatically communicate again with the wireless pad/ﬂoor mat after pressing the RESET button.

TESTING NURSE CALL

1. Plug the AC power cord into an outlet (optional for battery backup and to

minimize battery replacement).

2. When placing pressure on the pad or when fastening the seat belt,

the following will occur confirming that the cord is connected/pad is synchronized and the batteries have been installed properly:

• The monitor will beep (if the volume is on) and the red ALARM/LOW BATTERY LED will flash two times simultaneously.

• The LCD will read “IN USE”

• The green IN USE LED will blink approximately every two seconds

NOTE: When using with the floor mat of floor cushion, the IN USE LED will

not blink when operational (as when used with a pad or the seat belt). Follow the “Testing your Monitor” instructions to insure proper function.

3. Test the unit by doing one of the following:

• Bed or Chair pad – apply pressure to the pad and release

• Seat Belt – unfasten

• Floor Mat/cushion – step onto the mat/cushion

• Call Cord – press the call cord button

The following will occur:

• The monitor alarm will sound (if volume is on)

• The red ALARM/LOW BATTERY LED and side LEDs will flash

• The LCD will read “ALARM”.

• The nurse station alarm will activate when the local alarm sounds

4. To cancel the alarm, press the RESET button and reset Nurse Call at the Patient Station (if connected).

5. Test Nurse Call jack removal alarms:

• If the Nurse Call jack is removed from the monitor, the monitor will

alarm, but a call will not be placed into your Nurse Call system. To cancel the monitor alarm, either reinsert the Nurse Call cable, or press the reset button.

• If the Nurse Call jack is removed from the Nurse Call Patient Station, a call

will be placed into your Nurse Call system, but the monitor will not alarm. To cancel the Nurse Call alarm, reset Nurse Call at the patient station and/or reinsert the Nurse Call jack.

NOTE: Nurse Call may alarm when reinserting the Nurse Call cable plug into

the patient station. To cancel the alarm, reset Nurse call at the patient station.

NOTE: If there is any other visual or audible alarm, see the LED/LIGHT ALARM

INDICATORS and TROUBLESHOOTING sections of this manual. For further assistance, read the directions read the directions supplied with

the sensor pad, mat, cushion, or seat belt or call Curbell toll-free at 1-800-235-7500.

3. Mount the CSM-BC400 outside of the patient room on, such as on the door

jamb using the CSM-MMB magnetic mounting bracket, no more than 30 feet apart from the wireless pad.

NOTE: The allowable wireless communication distance varies for each facility.

Test at the desired distance prior to putting the system into service.

NOTE: If there is any other visual or audible alarm, see the LED/LIGHT ALARM

INDICATORS and TROUBLESHOOTING sections of this manual. For further assistance, read the Relay Monitor’s directions for use or call Curbell toll-free at 1-800-235-7500.
