Introduction

The Wireless Sentry is a comprehensive multi-patient monitoring system
designed to alert care givers at a central location. Using 900 MHz
spread-spectrum digital technology, this completely wireless system
provides extended range performance for up to sixteen locations. The
system utilizes five main components – the 16-Station Receiver unit, the

Wireless Transmitter with Charging Cradle (Charger), the Wireless
Pendant, the Wireless Repeater and the Wireless Floor Mat. (The last

three items are optional.)
The Wireless Sentry system can monitor fall-prone residents from a bed or

wheelchair and includes an “out-of-range” warning alert that sounds if the
resident leaves a predetermined safe area.

The Transmitter WT-2 is a resident-monitoring device, powered by
rechargeable batteries (included), that can be programmed into the
Receiver WR-3, which is located at the nurses’ station. Monitoring pads
are available for use with the Transmitter for wheelchair and bed
applications.

The optional Pendant WP-2 is a small, battery-operated device, about the
size of a stopwatch, that can be programmed just like a Transmitter. It can
then either hang on a cord around the resident’s neck or be strapped on the
wrist. When the resident needs assistance, he or she presses a large
button on the Pendant, and a silent signal is sent to the Receiver at the
nurses’ station.

The optional Floor Mat WFM-1 is equipped with its own programmable
transmitter and is placed beside a patient’s bed. When weight is placed on
the mat, the transmitter sends an alerting signal to the Receiver.

The optional Repeater WSR-1 is a device, shaped like a Receiver, that is
placed on a wall or other convenient location between the Transmitter (or

Pendant or Floor Mat) and the Receiver. It boosts the signal from the
Transmitter, effectively extending its range.
