familiar with the instructions before using the DRI Eclipse™. Section Numbers1-5 are essential to
read, and also read Number 7. Procedure Tips. It is strongly recommended that you carry out the
practice procedures in Number 4 (v).
Please note. If you touch the black sensing strips of the Urosensor™ with damp fingers it may trigger
the alarm. Therefore it is best to avoid touching the sensing strips when handling the Urosensor™.
When not being used the DRI Eclipse™ should always be put away to prevent damage.
1. Switch on. The DRI Eclipse™ alarm unit has the on-off switch on the side, “I” for on, “O” for off.
Switch on and it will beep quickly five times, telling you that it has been switched on and ready to
receive a signal from the Urosensor™ remote. The Urosensor™ remote has an automatic, internal
on-off switch. It is switched on automatically when taken from the alarm unit. It is switched off
automatically when it is “docked” on the alarm unit.
2. To test that the alarm and Urosensor™ are working correctly.
(i) Switch on the alarm unit, it will beep rapidly 5x.
(ii) After switching on the alarm unit, wait approximately 20 seconds for the electronics to stabilize
and to be ready to receive.
(iii) Holding a cup of water, stand approx 2 to 3 metres (yards) from the alarm unit, turn your back on
to the alarm unit, and being careful not to first touch the black sensing strips with your fingers, dip
the Urosensor™ a little way into the water. It should trigger the alarm within 2-3 seconds.
The alarm will continue to sound until it is switched off using the on-off switch, or it automatically
switches off after two minutes to save battery life.
Whenever there is an issue of the alarm not sounding when wet by urine in the night, first carry out
the test above. If it passes the test then the alarm and Urosensor™ are functioning correctly. The issue
will be the Urosensor™ placement and effective directing of the urine onto the Urosensor™. Read 4
(ii)-(v) and 7 (iii) and 7(iv) carefully and experiment with the method of locating the Urosensor™.
When not in use, to lengthen the life of the batteries, always “dock” the Urosensor™ on the
alarm unit and switch off the alarm unit.
IMPORTANT. When the Urosensor™ has been triggered by moisture it must be dried completely
between the sensing strips before it will reset to trigger again. If not dried completely it will not reset
and will not trigger again.
3. Volume control. The volume of the DRI Eclipse™ alarm unit is set to the highest sound volume.
If required it can be turned down. The control is inside the battery compartment on the base of the
case. Open the compartment, and the volume control is adjustable with a fine screwdriver.
4. Using the DRI Eclipse™. Put the alarm unit on a table away from the user so that it is necessary to
wake up completely to switch it off.
(i) IMPORTANT. First switch on the alarm unit and hear the 5 beeps. This is so that any accidental
triggering of the Urosensor™ due to dampness touching the sensing strips during the set-up
process will be detected and signalled by the alarm unit. If that happens, dry the Urosensor™ to
reset it before completing the set-up.
(ii) The Urosensor™ is put inside a pantyliner or minipad with the sensing strips facing the skin of the
user. Cut a 25 mm (1 inch slit) into the absorbent layers of the pad, insert the point of the scissors
and create a tunnel into which the Urosensor™ can be inserted.

battery in the Urosensor™ is running low then when the alarm unit is triggered and beeps, it will
miss every fourth beep. This means that the Urosensor™ must be replaced, it cannot be opened to
replace the battery. You will need to train a new Urosensor™ to your alarm unit. To do this follow the
instructions in No 6 below.
(iii)The battery on the alarm unit can be changed. If the alarm unit is switched off between uses (i.e.,
during the day) the battery will last up to two or three years and so it is very unlikely that it will need
changing during treatment. The sign that it needs changing will be low sound volume. To change
the battery, open the battery compartment on the base and slide out the battery.

(i)Take the Urosensor™ off the alarm unit. Switch on the alarm unit, and using a thin probe (such as
the end of a paperclip or very fine screw driver), press the training button (marked ) inside the
slot on the same side of the case as the on-off switch.
(ii) The alarm unit will start to beep slowly for 10 seconds as it “listens” for the

so that it is sending a signal to the alarm unit. When the alarm unit “hears” the new Urosensor™it
will beep five times quickly. Training is done.

seconds, and then will sound one long beep indicating that it has not been able to find the new
Urosensor™It is necessary to repeat the training process.
7.Procedure tips using a DRI Eclipse™ bedwetting treatment alarm.
(i)Whenever there is any failure to trigger to the passing of urine, first carry out the test procedure
described in Number 2. Then read Number 4 (iii)-(iv) again and make sure that the absorbent layers
of the pantyliner or minipad are on top of the Urosensor’s™ black sensing strips. If you are using
another method of locating the Urosensor™ in the underwear, then this may not be allowing the
Urosensor™ to become wet. Read 7(iii) and (iv) below.
(ii) Occasionally the Urosensor™may trigger when no urine has been passed and this is due to sweat.
In this case bury the sensor more deeply or even turn it around so that the sensing strips face away
from the user.
(iii)If you do not wish to use a pantyliner, then the Urosensor™can be put between two pairs
of underwear, or a pocket of material can be sewn into the crutch of the underwear and the
Urosensor™inserted in the pocket. The pocket must fit the Urosensor™ tightly to hold it in and the
sensing strips on the Urosensor™ must face the user.
IMPORTANT. Putting the Urosensor™ in between two pairs of underwear or in a pocket of material
may not be as reliable as using a pantyliner or minipad. To assist reliable triggering of the Urosensor™
wrap it in a paper tissue which acts as a “wick” to help direct the urine onto the sensing strips of the
Urosensor™.
(iv)Using a disposable diaper (“pull-up”). This product is highly absorbent and may prevent the
Urosensor™ becoming wet. To help the Urosensor™ get wet it is suggested that the diaper is put
on the user, and then wrap the Urosensor™ in a paper tissue and put it between the diaper and the
user’s body in the crotch area so that it may get wet before the diaper absorbs the urine. Make sure
the detecting strips are facing the user’s body.
(v)Practice this “brain priming” routine to make waking more likely. Before bed have the user lie in
the bed with the alarm unit nearby and switched on. Take the Urosensor™ off the alarm unit and
then trigger the alarm unit by putting something metal across the sensing strips of the Urosensor™,
the user gets up and goes to the bathroom, pretends to pass urine, and then returns to the bed and
practices again 3-4 times.
(vi) In the early part of treatment a very heavy sleeper may not wake. This does NOT mean that the
DRI Eclipse™ will not be successful. In time, even these users will “tune in”. Until then, you wake
the user, have the user switch off the alarm unit and go to the bathroom. Make sure the user is
completely awake and remembers the next day waking and hearing the alarm and going to the
bathroom. You can also refer to the FAQ page on the website www.DRI-Sleeper.com for an even
more detailed approach to extreme heavy sleeping.
(vii) ALWAYS wash the Urosensor™ well in soap (preferably a liquid soap wash) after each use and
rinse in water thoroughly and dry well on a tissue, particularly between the sensing strips. If the
soap is not properly washed off or not properly dried, then this will prevent the Urosensor™ from
resetting and it will not trigger.
8. KEEP USING the DRI Eclipse™ EVERY NIGHT until there have been no wet beds for 14 nights.
9. RELAPSE PREVENTION. A few users may go back to bedwetting after a few months, and in that
case simply use the DRI Eclipse™ again to fix the problem. However, over-learning can be used to
prevent relapsing and to strengthen the learning. To do this, when the user has had 14 consecutive
dry nights with no wetting and so no alarm activation, have him or her drink an 8-10 oz glass of
water around a half an hour before bed. This will make it necessary for him or her to need to go to
the bathroom two or three hours later, and either it will cause the alarm to be triggered, or he or she
will wake up. Either way this brings about more learning to respond to the sensations of the bladder
filling. Continue with this for seven nights. Then stop the extra drinks (let the user drink what he
or she wants to) but keep using the DRI Eclipse™ each night until he or she has achieved 14 dry
