4. Use the Emfit Epilepsy Alarm  

NOTE:

  

  Do not let the device get wet. 

  Do not use the device in strong electromagnetic fields. 

  Test the device before using it and when the settings are adjusted. 

  Check the condition of the sensor and cables at least once a week and replace them if 

necessary. 

  Check the entire system at least once a month. 

  The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture 

with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. 

4.1.  Place the sensor under the mattress. 

NOTE:  

  The notification sound may be absent if the sensor or its cable is incorrectly positioned or 

damaged.  

  The sensor or the sensor cable must not be stretched or cut.  

  Pets can cause false notifications if they walk or lie on a bed fitted with the device.  

  Adjust the device sensitivity if the sensor is reinstalled or if the user or sensor is replaced.  

  Always place the bed sensor under the mattress or mattress topper, never just under the 

sheet. The bed sensor must not come in direct contact with a person. 

  The bed sensor must not be used with a pressure care mattress that is adjusted using a 

compressor pump, the mattress may interfere with the sensor's performance. 

 

1.  Place the bed sensor across the bed, under the mattress at approximately chest 

height (see picture). 

2.  Fix the sensor to the bed bottom mattress using the provided double sided tape to 

prevent the bed sensor from moving. The tape will not leave marks and will come 

off as a whole if removed. 

3.  If you are using the bed sensor with a spring mattress, place the bed sensor 

between the mattress and the mattress topper. 

a.  Place a hard board (plastic or hardwood 2-3 mm thick) under the sensor 

to avoid damaging the sensor.  

b.  Set the switch for sensitivity to 4. 

4.2.  Use the SW1 press switch  

NOTE:

 If you press the SW1 switch for too long, you might accidentally 

switch off the device.

 

The SW1 switch (see picture) can be used in four ways. 

4.2.1.  Use SW1 as an acknowledgement switch  

The notification sound (if activated) can be muted by pressing the SW1 switch 

shortly. The device will make a "beep-beep" sound. The fast movement 

notification sound will stop when the movement stops. 
In the event of absence in bed notification, the sound signal stops after about 40 seconds when the 

user returns to the bed. 

4.2.2.   Use SW1 as an ON/OFF switch  

The SW1 switch acts as the on/off switch if this function is activated (DIP switch 6 is down). Press 

the SW1 switch for three (3) seconds in order to activate or deactivate the control unit. When the 

control unit is switched on, you will hear a beep and the blue LED light will start to flash. When the 

device is switched off, you will hear a "beep-beep-boop" (high-high-low) sound. The blue LED light 

will go off.
