Using Two Sensors
The Posey Sitter II allows the use of TWo Posey sensors to monitor a single patient. Two sensors
may be needed to help reduce false alarms for a very small or restless patient who tends to
move from top to bottom of bed.
The alarm will not activate as long as there is contact with
one sensor.
Bed use:
Use either two over or two Under Mattress sensors, or one of each type. The sensors you
choose and where you place them will depend on patient habits. Typically, one sensor is
centered under the patient’s buttocks (normally the heaviest part of the body), and:
• If the patient tends to move toward the foot of the bed, place the second sensor toward that
end.
• If the patient tends to move toward the head of the bed, place the second sensor at shoulder
blade level.
Try different positions until you find the ones best suited to patient needs and activity level.
Chair use:
The Sitter II allows you to use a chair sensor pad along with a chair belt sensor. The belt acts
as an aid to help position the patient. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings for the
sensors you choose.
To Activate Alarm:
• Connect sensor cord plugs to the two jacks on side of alarm (fig. 24).
• Press the PoWER button to turn the alarm oN.
NOTE: There must be contact with both sensors to reset the alarm
and resume monitoring.
• alWayS test to make sure both sensors work properly before
leaving patient unattended (see additional warnings on pages 20-21).
• If both the sensors are connected, patient must remove weight from
BOTH sensor pads or activate BOTH sensors before alarm sounds.
• NEVER use the Sitter II to monitor TWo patients, or more than one
bed or chair. If the patient falls out of the bed or chair, the alarm
will not activate as long as there is contact with the second sensor.
