1.0 Description
The
MEDITEL 2
disabled persons response alarm has been design for applications such as
disabled persons dwellings ie disabled persons toilets. The requirements of BS8300:2001
have been taken into consideration when designing the
Meditell 2.
The Meditell 2 system consists of an Electronic control unit (ECU) which is connected to all of
the field call, reset and indicator devices.
Field devices consist of three types which provide the Electronic Control Unit with the
necessary Input and output signals to allow the system to function.
“Call Devices” can either be ceiling mounted pull cord devices or wall mounted push button
devices, they are used to generate an alarm activation by a person in distress or requiring
attention from a carer. When a call device is activated the system will generate an alarm, an
indicator LED mounted on the Device will illuminate.
“Attendant Distress Call Devices” are wall
mounted push button devices which can also be installed to enhance a system and when
activated they produce a more urgent alarm to summon other carers.
“Reset Devices” which are generally wall mounted and consist of push button devices which
are pressed to cancel/reset an alarm activation. Reset devices with a key enable can be
installed for secure key holder only reset.
“Warning Devices” are generally wall mounted devices which during an alarm activation will
alert cares / staff of a person requiring attention. Warning devices typically have visual and
audible element within the same housing, but devices with only audible or visual elements
may be fitted to a system.
The Meditell 2 Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is powered by the mains supply, an optional
battery back up can be installed which allows the MEDITEL 2 system to function during a
power outage.
The Electronics Control Unit (ECU) has a built in buzzer and three front mounted LED’s which
are used to indicate the status of the system. A green LED indicates the status of the mains
power supply, an amber LED will display the fault status field devices wiring and power supply,
and a red LED indicates the presence an alarm activation.
The MEDITELL 2 system is very simple to use and operate, all the features and operation will
be discussed in further detail within this user guide.
