Door And Window Home Care Contact Sensor Alarm

When working with vulnerable patients, such as those with dementia or the elderly, wandering can be a huge safety issue. It can be hard to keep an eye on every patient or all exits, but luckily you don't have to! The quality Door and Window Home Care Contact Sensor Alarm is a great way to watch out for your patients, even when you're not in the room. With this easy-to-install and simple to set up alarm, you'll receive an alert whenever your patient(s) open a door or window. This great alarm can be used either by itself, or as part of a multiple-alarm system.

What's Included?

• 1 x Door Alarm Transmitter
• 1 x Proximity Magnet
• 2 x AAA Batteries
• Velcro Dots and Screw Fixings (For Attachment)

Please Note: This alarm system is designed for operation with a Medpage MPPL digital pager (sold separately). You must have the pager to use this alarm system. There is a full kit available, which includes both the pager and this contact sensor alarm system.

Where Can I Use This Contact Sensor?

The MedPage door and window sensor is ideal for use in domestic care and care home environments, particularly when working with vulnerable patients who may be prone to wandering (e.g., dementia patients and elderly patients).

This contact sensor features a design that is suitable for most doorways, windows, and cabinets. However for certain doors and windows where there is little room around the frame, this alarm may not be suitable. In these cases, we would recommend using a PIR Motion Detector as an alternative from the same system.

Please Note: The Velcro dots supplied for mounting will damage wallpaper and paint when removed.

Which Pager Should I Use With This Alarm System?

For the contact sensor to work, you must have a Medpage MPPL digital pager (sold separately) to connect to the transmitter. Each of these pagers can have up to eight sensors or transmitters paired with it, and are essential for carers to receive alerts about alarm activation.

If you already have MedPage Pager (including older models), you can use it to to connect to this alarm system without needing to purchase a new one.

Can I Use Multiple Alarms At Once?

The MedPage Pager that receives the alerts from this contact sensor alarm is designed to connect to up to eight transmitters. This means that it is possible to create a multi-alarm system, with eight doors, windows, or cabinets being monitored using one pager system.

New-and-Improved Range

Whereas older versions of this door sensor previously had a range of approximately 100m, this new-and-improved version now has a range of 400m. This makes it better suited to using in larger houses, or houses with thicker walls.
