Instructions for chair pressure pad use
1. Place the pressure pad in the center of the chair seat. The side of the
pressure pad with the cord on it should be at the back of the chair
seat (Figure 14). Do not place the cord on top of or underneath the
pressure pad.
2. Plug the TABS
®
pressure pad cord into the right jack on the bottom
of the TABS
®
monitor (Figure 15). An alarm will sound if a pad is
plugged into the nurse call (left) jack and weight is applied to the
pad.
Note: For the timed chair pad model 26120, the timer will begin
counting down when plugged into a monitor for the first time. The
timer will only activate when used with models 25022, 25023,
25025, 25222, or 25223.
3. The monitor will “chirp” when weight is first applied to the pad to
indicate the monitor is armed. Test the system by pressing firmly on
the pressure pad for 3 seconds. When you remove the pressure, the
alarm will sound. Reset the alarm by pressing the
RESET
button on
the TABS
®
monitor.
4. Place the resident on the pressure pad. The pressure pad should be
centered under the resident’s body.
5. When the resident leaves the pressure pad, the alarm will sound.
6. You can reset the alarm by pressing the reset button on the front of
the monitor or by replacing the weight back on the pad.
