Fall Prevention Violet Assure Sensor Set

Wireless connection

High quality, mid-price range, aesthetically pleasing, quiet cord free motion sensing set. The invisible ‘curtain’ area of motion detection can be set with a horizontal or vertical beam. Staff are alerted via the nurse call system, when the resident’s movement ‘breaks’ the invisible curtain ⁄ beam.

The Sensor unit is a fully adjustable and portable unit that provides flexibility in both location and area of sensitivity to suit a range of requirements. Designed for use in Residential Aged Care Facilities using over 15 years of industry experience. The Violet Assure product has a standalone transmitter on a moveable pole that can just as easily be up against a wall, as at the foot of a bed, or maybe aimed across an ensuite entry or in front of a recliner. The cable free transmitter on pole has as many uses as residents have different needs.

Horizontal alignment allows wide coverage for full room monitoring.
Vertical alignment facilitates floor to ceiling coverage for doorways and bedside monitoring.

The transmitter includes an internal, easily rechargeable battery with approx. 170 hours of charge. A battery low warning will give staff as long as 8 hours to re-charge with the supplied power pack.

The receiver plugs in to a nurse call wall point, via a nurse call plug in either 6.35mm Mono (T&S), 6.35mm Stereo (T&R) or 3.5mm Mono these three wiring styles suit the majority of the nurse call systems in use in Residential Aged Care. If you utilise the ‘call point’ any industry standard 6.35 Mono call bell pendant can be plugged in, via a dedicated jack point included on this state-of-the-art receiver. When a staff member needs to attend to the resident there is no need to turn the transmitter or receiver off, just press the ‘pause’ button attend to the resident then press it again to re-engage the motion sensor, or if distracted and forgotten it will re-engage itself after two (2) minutes.

Sensor Beam for sitting in chair

Hidden magnetic attachment to stand.

In low horizontal mode the sensor will create an invisible ‘carpet’ beam across the floor.

Install this sensor unit under the bed or in such a way as not to create a trip hazard.

The area of motion detection is about 40 degrees getting wider as it leaves the sensor unit. Within 2 metres of the beam is ideal for detecting hand sized objects (or larger) between 2 metres and 6.5 metres is ideal for body sized detection.

The beam is designed to be 1.5 metres wide and 30cm high measured 2 metres from the sensor unit.
The beam is designed to be 4.5 metres wide and 90cm high measured 6.5 metres from the sensor unit.

In the horizontal mode the bottom of the beam runs dead flat and the top of the beam rises as it gets further away. This is important to remember when using the sensor unit in the vertical mode, especially along side a bed – you want the bracket side closest to the bed so that you have a truly straight line running adjacent to the bed.

Sensor Beam horizontal setup suggestions

Depending on the level of care of the resident and the type of resident movement you are aiming to monitor there are a number of different ways you can set up the sensor unit.

For the earliest detection of a resident attempting to get out of bed the sensor unit can be set in the horizontal position raised over the bed, set just above the height of the resident in the sleeping position. The sensor unit casts a beam over the bed so when the resident sits up they interrupt the beam and trigger an alarm.

To detect a resident attempting to exit a chair the sensor unit should be set horizontally with the beam adjusted so the sensor unit is a little bit higher than the residents head in the sitting position. When the resident attempts to exit the chair they will interrupt the beam and raise an alarm.

Sensor Beam vertical setup suggestions

To detect a resident leaving the bed the sensor unit can be set to cast a beam along side the bed. It is important that the side of the sensor unit that has the bracket is the side closest to the bed as pictured above. One side of the beam is very flat and runs in a perfect straight line from the sensor unit, the other side of the beam gets wider as it gets further away.

To detect a resident leaving the room ⁄ entering a room the sensor unit should be set in the vertical position so as to cast a vertical curtain across the doorway. The beam has an approximate 6.5 metre range so this can be achieved from across the other side of the room, it is ideal to keep the sensor unit against the wall wherever possible to avoid a trip hazard from the cables. This one can be a little more difficult to set up as you have to set it in such a way that the staff can set up the sensor unit, switch it on and then exit the room without creating an alarm. Staff will need to be on the door side of the beam when switching it on.

To detect a resident at risk of sliding down out of the chair the sensor unit can be set in the lowered vertical position just past the feet so if they were to slide down and forward it would interrupt the beam.
