2.3 Bed Sensor Pad (GCPAD4080)
A Bed Sensor Pad is typically use to send an alert to the caregivers when a
patient is attempting to sit up in bed. Place the Bed Sensor Pad at the
appropriate location on the mattress and cover with a sheet so that the sensor
can detect pressure of patient's body. If the patient tries to sit up or get out of bed,
the sensor will detect loss of pressure and will send an alert. he Bed Sensor Pad
is purely a sensory device and needs a Sensor Transmitter to be connected to it
to be able to sound an alert. Care should be taken to align the maker arrows on
the connection for proper operation.
Installing Sensor pad and Sensor Transmitter to bed
Place Bed Sensor Pad on the bed and cover it with bed sheets. To
detect when the patient is awake and sitting up in bed, place the Bed
Sensor Pad below the upper back of patient. To detect when the
patient gets out of bed, place Bed Sensor Pad in the middle of the
bed, just below the patient
’
s buttocks. If possible, place the Sensor
Transmitter on the wall or bed post, 30 cm above the ground.

Getting started
For basic functionality, the user needs to create a network to establish
communication between all the devices that constitute the system. Just as one
would pair a Bluetooth device, each transmitter must be paired or group with
every receiver. Transmitter is the following:
•
Bed Sensor Pad + Sensor Transmitter pair
