Overview
Care@Home™ Pro System Installation Guide 9
Activity reported by a peripheral device installed in or on one of these locations is identified by the
parallel activity type. For example, an activity recognized in the living room is categorized as living
room activity.
1.6.1 Kit Pre-Configured Activity Peripherals
The standard kit for the Care@Home ™ system is based on the floor plan, and includes the following
devices, pre-configured to communicate with the CP:
 Two magnetic sensors (MGLS) for the front door and the fridge door included in the floor plan
For information about the MGLS, refer to the ESUGSC007 Care@Home ™ MGLS User Guide.

Five motion detectors (PIR) for the designated rooms included in the floor plan
For information about the PIR, refer to the ESUGSC008 Care@Home ™ PIR User Guide.
1.6.2 Optional Activity Peripherals
You have the option of installing an indoor camera detector to better monitor the resident’s activities.
The indoor camera detector (IPD) includes the same motion detection functionality as the PIR.
For information about the IPD, refer to the ESUGSC006 Care@Home ™ IPD User Guide.
If a room has more than 30 minutes of activity at one time, the room requires a motion detector. If the
premises have more than one external door, such as a patio door or a back door, each external door
requires an MGLS.
A CP can monitor and manage up to 64 peripheral devices. You can consider adding additional activity
peripherals when the premises include more locations or exits than the basic floor plan.
To add an additional activity peripheral, you must configure the peripheral to communicate with the
CP. To configure an activity peripheral, you must:

Add the serial number and the activity type of the peripheral to the CP, using the
Care@Home
™ CMS application.

Download the changes to the CP for the activity sensor, using the Care@Home ™ CMS
application.

Insert the batteries into the peripheral.
The “handshake” process, which enables the CP to recognize the new peripheral, occurs automatically
following the insertion of the batteries.
For information about adding an activity peripheral, refer to Add an Activity Sensor in the ESUG05074
