User Guide
Paper Thin Bed Occupancy Kit New
Dated: October 2013
Description:
The paper thin bed sensor kit detects changes in the dielectric properties of the sensor mat
caused by the close proximity of the human body. By using the paper thin bed kit alarms can
be transmitted to any Neat radio receiver operating on 869.2125 MHz.
The sensing components and Transmitter (Neat Door alarm) are supplied as a kit (Paper Thin
Bed Occupancy Kit Pt No 035-082) containing the following components:

If you suspect the kit to be faulty please carry out the following actions to confirm if the kit is
defective or otherwise:
Confirm the door alarm has been configured correctly using the procedure below:
1.
Attach the NPU to the PC/Laptop
2.
Attach the NPU to the Door Alarm using the Mini USB adaptor cable. (Note this unit is
provided with either the NPU or an Info pager).
3.
Launch the “Door Alarm” Programming Software.
4.
From the Default configuration adjust the following parameters accordingly:
 Deselect “Alarm when input closed”.
 Select “Alarm when input opened”.
 Input “0” into the “In passage delay” and “Out passage delay” boxes.
 Input the required “Auto reset time (S)” - this is the amount of time a client can be away
from the bed etc. before an alarm is raised.
 Reduce the “Number of short transmissions” to “0” if the system is triggering an Info
pager. This is because the Info pager cannot receive these transmissions.
 If required Select “Ignore power switch” to prevent the unit being switched off.
 Select “Enable Time schedule” if required and input the required “Activation time” and
“Inactivation time”
Note: To confirm system operation, it is advisable to enable time scheduling after the unit
has been proved to be working. The Door Alarm uses the PC/Laptop real time clock settings
so please ensure this is correctly set to allow correct operation of this function.
5.
Write the file to the Door Alarm. (“Communication” > “Write to device” - Shortcut
Ctrl +W)
6.
Switch the Door Alarm “Off” and “On” to effect the required changes. Dependent on the
configuration of the device you may have to remove the batteries from the device to
effect the changes.
7.
Note if required the configuration file can be saved by utilizing the “File” > “Save As…”
commands
First Stage Fault Analysis
 Ensure the Radio code has been correctly programmed onto the receiver unit. Configure
the receiver into radio capture mode and activate the Bed Sensor to capture the radio code
transmitted. Note: The radio code will only be transmitted from the Door Alarm after the
“Auto Reset time” has expired and also if the unit is within any time schedule parameters
that have enabled.
 If the receiver unit such as an Info pager etc. has been configured to allow “Low Battery
Alarms” to be reported; then these alarm types will also be displayed when applicable if the
alarm is activated.
 Battery replacement action:
 Door Alarm – To replace the battery in the Door Alarm follow the procedure
contained in the Door Alarm User Guide.
 Connex Adaptor – This is a sealed unit and battery replacement requires
specialist tools. Due to the cost of the product it is considered economically
unviable to replace the battery.
To determine which specific component is causing a fault either substitute known
serviceable components or refer to the following procedure:
Note: The procedure assumes the Door alarm has been configured correctly as previously
described in this guide.
 Disconnect the Paper Thin Sensor from the Connex adaptor. Make an electrical contact
between the two press stud connectors. Note: It is safe to short the press studs together. If
the Door alarm transmits suspect the sensing mat to be faulty. Replace the mat and retest
the equipment.
 Apply a magnet to the side of the Door Alarm and verify the Door alarm LED illuminates
red when the magnet is removed. This action will verify the battery condition in the Door
alarm. If the LED does not illuminate replace the batteries in the Door Alarm and retest the
equipment with the magnet and Paper thin bed occupancy equipment.
 If the Paper thin bed occupancy equipment is still failing. Remove the Connex connecting
lead from the Connex Adaptor. Using a small piece of wire make an electrical contact
between Pins 2 and 3 of the connector as shown below.
 Remove the electrical contact; If the Door Alarm unit still fails to transmit suspect the
Connex connecting lead. Replace and retest the Paper thin bed occupancy kit.
