About the BE9023 Magnetic switch
Intended purpose
This device is part of the Visit alerting system. The intended purpose
of the system is to alert deaf and hard of hearing people of important
signals in their home. This switch is used together w ith the Visit telephone
transmitter/mobile phone transceiver to notify the user when a door or a
window is opened. It activates the transmitter that sends a signal to a Visit
receiver which alerts the user with sound, flashes, or vibrations.
Intended user group
The intended user group consists of people of all ages with mild to severe
hearing loss or deafness that need audio, visual or sensory amplification.
Intended user
The intended user is a person with mild to severe hearing loss or deafness.
Principle of operation
The Magnetic switch is connected to the Visit telephone transmitter/
mobile phone transceiver external trigger port and is typically
mounted on a door or window frame. When the magnets are
separated, the transmitter signals a Visit receiver which alerts the user
with sound, flashes or vibrations.
The Visit alerting system will not restore normal hearing and
will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment or deafness
resulting from organic conditions.
