ManDown Sensor

User Manual 953.64c Bosch Security Systems Page 5

1. Introduction

The ManDown Sensor has a built-in tilt device, which can detect if the person holding it is in

a horizontal position, such as lying on the floor.

The sensor will automatically send an alarm when its position corresponds to horizontality

after a certain time. Pressing its central bed button will activate a help call at any time.

It can be held, for instance, as a necklace by an elderly person or as a safety device by a

lone worker in a hazardous environment.

The ManDown Sensor will be part of a social alarm system. It can be associated with a

Carephone receiver, linked to a social alarm call center through the telephone line, or with a

NurseCall system.

2. Description

The ManDown Sensor can be delivered with an operational frequency of 434 MHz or 869

MHz. It is equipped with a LED indicator that will flash every ten seconds to show that the

sensor is active. This LED indicator will flash green if the battery is ok or red if the battery is

low. Pushing the central red button will send a help call to the social alarm system, followed

by a short beeping sound.

Caution!

A help call is sent only after the central red button has been released. The user should be

aware that pressing the central red button must be short. If the central red button is being

pressed longer that five seconds, the sensor will be turned off, and no help call will be sent.

See chapter 4.2. Turning off the sensor.

3. Compatibility of the ManDown Sensor with Social alarm

systems

The different types of ManDown Sensors should always be associated with a corresponding

social alarm system, according to the following table.

Type of ManDown Sensor Social alarm system

ManDown 869 MHz, Bosch RF protocol Carephones 3050, 3100, 50, 52, 52+

ManDown 869 MHz, TeleAlarm protocol Carephones 10 & 12

ManDown 434 MHz, TeleAlarm protocol All TeleAlarm NurseCall systems

4. Operating

4.1. Starting the sensor

When the ManDown Sensor is off, the user only has to press the central red button to turn it

on. A slow beeping sound will then confirm that the sensor is active.

Notice!

No help call transmission will take place during this operation.

4.2. Turning off the sensor

Press the button for about five seconds

A beeping sound is emitted during two seconds

During these two seconds,release the button and press it a second time,

The sensor is then turned off

This last step will be confirmed by a slow beeping sound

It is always possible to turn off the sensor, even when the help call button is deactivated.

Notice!

A help call will be activated only after pressing the help call button for less the five seconds

and releasing the central red button. This means that during the procedure of turning off the

sensor, no alarm will be generated.

If the central red button is being pressed and released less that five seconds or pressed

longer than seven seconds, a help call will be generated. See chapter 2 Description.

User Manual 953.64c Bosch Security Systems Page 7

4.3. Detection mode

Detection by the ManDown Sensor can be decomposed into two periods of time.

1) Tilt Detection

When the sensor detects a tilt of more than 60 degrees, it will start its internal chronometer

for approximately ten seconds.

If the sensor comes back to a vertical position within these ten seconds, the chronometer is

reset.

2) Pre-Alarm

If the sensor does not come back to a vertical position within ten seconds, a pre-alarm starts

accompanied by a beeping sound. This period of time is factory-set and lasts approximately

thirty seconds. The pre-alarm is cancelled if the sensor comes back to a vertical position or

if the help call button is pressed.

This pre-alarm may be suppressed by making a solder bridge. See Fig.2. Interior view of a

ManDown Sensor.

4.4. Repeating the alarm

After a fall, as long as the sensor detects a horizontal position, the alarm will repeat itself

after an average period of time of two minutes and thirty seconds.

4.5. Deactivating the help call button and the pre-alarm

Making a solder bridge allows to deactivate the help call button or to suppress the pre-alarm.

In this case, during the automatic tilt alarm, the sensor remains silent. During all help calls

made by pressing the button, the sensor will always issue a beeping sound.

5. Programming the ManDown Sensor

To program a ManDown Sensor within a Carephone social alarm system (e.g. Carephones

10, 12, 3050, 3100, 50, 52, 52+) or within a NurseCall system, follow the procedure de-

scribed for the system you are using. As the ManDown Sensor can be considered as a stan-

dard transmitter, the system will recognize it during the programming step. Please refer to the

manual of the corresponding social alarm system.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Safety instructions

Caution!

There is a danger of explosion if the replacement of the battery is not

performed correctly!

Replace the battery only by an identical or equivalent type.

Dispose of the used batteries at an appropriate recycling facility.

Although battery replacement may be done by non-specialized person-

nel, the manufacturer recommends that it should be performed by your

local dealer.

Caution!

The ManDown Sensor contains highly sensitive electronic components.

It should always be opened in an ESD (Electro Static Discharge) pro-

tected environment, with respect to the following precautions:

Discharge yourself from electrostatic loads by touching a grounded

conductive surface before opening the unit.

Avoid touching conductive parts and metallic surfaces if not abso-

lutely necessary.

6.2. Storage

Short term storage (less than two weeks)

Deactivate the sensor.

Long term storage (more than two weeks)

Remove the battery and store the ManDown Sensor protected from direct sunlight, moisture

and dust.

6.3. Replacing the battery

Necessary tool for opening the sensor case:

Jeweler’s Screwdriver 2.9mm

Turn off the ManDown Sensor. See chapter 4.2. Turning off the sensor.

Unscrew the four screws of the case, as shown in Fig. 3. Bottom view of the ManDown

Sensor.

Carefully remove the compression foam, as well as the used battery.

Replace the new battery; ensure that it is in the correct position.

Carefully place the compression foam as shown in Fig. 4. Opening the ManDown Sensor.

Close the case with the four screws.

Notice!

To avoid deteriorating the inserts, do not force the screwing.
