Home Unit For example the temperature might drop below 109C Another sensor might trigger when the temperature rises above 27 C This is why there are two temperature codes one for Temperature A and another for Temperature B Lifeline Home Unit is designed to receive triggers from temperature sensors in the home although there is no reason why it cannot x be used for industrial monitoring as well For example you may wish to monitor i a the temperature in a greenhouse that contains a valuable crop Home Care Primer In chapter 1 of this guide there is an explanation of how a service provider can register the service they are providing They can do this using the numbered keys under the flap on the top of the Lifeline Home Unit It is also possible to provide service providers with their own radio trigger To register a service they simply press a radio trigger in the home the Home Care Primer and then press their own radio trigger The Lifeline Home Unit then calls the control centre and passes the service provider s number back to the control centre computers This saves on the time and effort involved in entering numbered codes The Home Care Primer trigger is the one that service providers press prior to pressing their own radio trigger In effect the Home Care Primer trigger says to the Lifeline Home Unit prepare for a trigger that does not belong to you and send its details to the control centre as a service provider ID

IF you register a Fall Detector then you must test that it can detect a fall by jolting it and tipping it on its side If you register a TalkBack speech trigger then you must test it by raising an alarm and speaking through it to the control centre Testing is essential Failing to register When you register a radio trigger you will normally hear a high pitched beep from the Lifeline Home Unit If you hear a low tone then the registration has failed The most common reason for such a failure is that the radio trigger is already registered with the unit If a trigger is already registered in the parameter for Personal Trigger 1 the Lifeline Home Unit will not allow you to register it in the parameter for Personal Trigger 2 Registering with more than one home unit It is not recommended that you register a radio trigger with more than one home unit However it is possible If For example a person lived in two properties each with a Lifeline Home Unit then it is possible for them to have one or more triggers registered with both units Copyright 2000 Tunstall Group Ltd Lifeline Home Unit Advanced User Guide 17 This draft manual has not been approved by the engineers responsible for Lifeline Home Unit It may contain significant errors 18 Lifeline Home Unit Advanced User Guide Copyright 2000 Tunstall Group Ltd This draft manual has not been approved by the engineers responsible for Lifeline Home Unit It may

Unit These settings include for example the telephone number of the control centre to call Lifeline Home Unit can be programmed in three ways First control centre staff using version 5 4 and above of PNC3 Vision can change many of the settings inside a Lifeline Home Unit during a telephone call Second Tunstall Service Engineers using the Lifeline Home Unit Engineer s software application can change almost all of the settings inside a Lifeline Home Unit Finally some settings can be programmed just using the buttons on a Lifeline Home Unit together with the number keys under the flap This last method is called local programming This manual explains all the settings that can be altered using local programming The Programming Reference which forms chapter 3 also includes explanations of some parameters that cannot be altered Interactive and card displays Anything that can be programmed locally on a Lifeline Home Unit with an interactive LCD display can also be programmed on a Lifeline Home Unit with the fixed card display However it is difficult to check your entries without an interactive display For this reason it is best if you program Lifeline Home Units that do not have an interactive display using either the Lifeline Home Unit Engineer s software application or via PNC3 version 5 4 and above rather than rely upon local programming methods All of the examples below assume that you are programming a Lifeline Home
