P139 GUARDIAN MONITOR INSTRUCTIONS
In the hidden settings menu, advance to the ‘SITE ID NUMBER’ display with the 'menu' button and press the
‘INCREASE’ button to increase the ID number or press the ‘DECREASE’ button to decrease the ID number. The ID
number will scroll from 0 to 255 and 255 to 0.
Alarm Output
The changeover relay is activated on alarm. It can be set to be activated while the alarm persists (as may benefit its
use for a remote buzzer or beacon), or pulse for 2 seconds (usually required for activating a Nurse Call or Telacare
interface). This pulsing repeats every 2 minutes while the alarm condition persists to ensure it cannot be over-ridden.
Setting Alarms as latching or auto resetting
Once you have gained access to the hidden settings the alarms can be set as either ‘LATCHING’ or ‘AUTO RESET’.
Press the ‘INCREASE’ button to set to ‘LATCHING’ or press the ‘DECREASE’ button to set to ‘AUTO RESET’. Press
the 'menu' button to advance down the list. If no buttons are pressed for 30 seconds then the monitor will revert to the
normal display.
When an alarm is set as latching, once activated, the alarm will continue until it is manually reset by pressing the
‘ALARM RESET’ button. This is the default for radio pager based units as it ensures the carer responds at the room.
An alternative radio solution is to use a Remote Rest button (P176AB). In this case the alarms will be AUTO-RESET
and the Remote Reset facility enabled (see below). When an alarm is set as auto reset the alarm will automatically
cancel as soon as the symptoms causing the alarm condition have stopped. This is also the default for Nurse Call
systems as the wall box has to be reset by the carer and the duplicated reset function would cause confusion.
Remote Reset
This mode has application where the client can be destructive to equipment. The alarms should all be Auto Reset so
that the Guardian Monitor can be hidden under the bed. It is also possible to reverse the supplied bracket so that the
front panel is protected. With REMOTE RESET active, the Guardian does not send All-Clear on reset, this function is
left to an optional Remote button. It does however maintain the Safelink integrity using an Alternative Safelink signal
Saving of default settings
The default settings are those that are reloaded if the latest settings have been lost. This will occur, for example, if the
internal battery is removed and replaced. It is advisable to set the default settings once the monitor has been
configured to a particular user's requirements so that, in the event of disruption to the battery power, the settings will
not be lost. The USER is also able to reload these settings if, for instance, the sensor parameters have been adjusted
wrongly
To save the current settings as the default settings (including all of the user-adjustable settings), enter the Hidden
Settings menu and advance to the ‘SAVE SETTINGS AS DEFAULT’ display by using the 'menu' button. Press the
‘INCREASE’ button to store the settings. The monitor will turn off and once the settings have been stored the monitor
will turn back on in the Monitoring mode.
EXIT HIDDEN MENU
Select to exit the hidden menu loop and return to normal monitoring screen.
