Activity. A trigger that is set to activity is one that is used
only for resetting the inactivity timer. In other words, it will
have no other effect. It is important to note that other types of
trigger can also reset the inactivity timer. Consequently, if you
have a movement sensor, and you would like it to be used for
both the intruder alarm as well as inactivity sensing, then it is
better to set it to be a movement sensor, using code 08 or 09.
Temperature. A sensor that monitors temperature will send a radio message
when the temperature exceeds a limit. This message will trigger the Lifeline
4000. For example, the temperature might drop below 10ºC. Another sensor
might trigger when the temperature rises above 27ºC. This is why there are
two temperature codes—one for Temperature A and another for Temperature
B. Lifeline 4000 is designed to receive triggers from temperature sensors in
the home, although there is no reason why it cannot be used for industrial
monitoring as well. For example, you may wish to monitor the temperature in
a greenhouse that contains a valuable crop.
Home Care Primer. In chapter 1 of this guide there is an explanation of
how a service provider can register the service they are providing. They can
do this using the numbered keys under the flap on the top of the Lifeline
4000. It is also possible to provide service providers with their own radio
trigger. To register a service they simply press a radio trigger in the home (the Home Care Primer)
and then press their own radio trigger. The Lifeline 4000 then calls the control centre and passes
the service provider’s number back to the control centre computers. This saves on the time and
effort involved in entering numbered codes.
The Home Care Primer trigger is the one that service providers press prior to pressing their
own radio trigger. In effect, the Home Care Primer trigger says to the Lifeline 4000, prepare for a
trigger that does not belong to you, and send its details to the control centre as a service provider
ID.
