Here is what I intended to send. The diagram will have to be sent by mail. Thanks Kevin for pointing this out to me. Bill Seidel This posting is to inform anyone that is interested that I have made a Deanimation Alarm System. The first device is now in use by a Cryocare Member. If you want to know that persons name please call me. The following description should answer any questions you might have. Feel free to contact me for any other information. There are several other options that are still under development and as the first device is used and I get some feed back the original device will be modified to improve the final units. Bill Seidel 520-203-0161 DEANIMATION ALARM SYSTEM Billy H. Seidel September 1998 DESCRIPTION The purpose of this device is to call 4 different phone numbers in the case of a patient dying where no one is around to render assistance. This is accomplished by the use of several commercial items and a custom cabinet to hold interface circuitry. The idea is that a patient, while sleeping, will be mobile during the night at least once every hour. If the patient does not move at least once during that hour, while in bed, this will signify that the patient has died. The Deanimation Alarm System will detect this lack of motion and, after one hour, sound an alarm and call four phone numbers. If the patient gets out of bed for any reason, the optional Bed Mat will disable the Motion Detector. If the patient is out of bed or out of Motion Detector range for more than one hour the ARM/DISABLE switch must be moved to the DISABLE position. The patient should take the Pendant with them. If a problem occurs, they must push the call button on the Pendant to activate the X10 Power House and call the four phone numbers. The person on the receiving end of the phone calls will hear a pre-recorded message and take the necessary action. X10 POWER HOUSE The X10 Power House phone dialer has its own manual. Follow the installation instructions for the X10 Power House phone dialer. Other accessories available are not used for this application. Do not connect the phone line just yet. MOTION DETECTOR BOX The Motion Detector box should be placed in such a position as to have a clear view of the sleeping area. Set the motion detector test switch, located under the motion detector head unit to the TEST position. Positions 1, 3 and 5 are not used for this application. Move the range control to full clockwise position and position the head to aim at the sleeping area. Move the ARM/DISABLE switch to the DASABLE position and plug the unit in. Both green lights will come ON and the Motion Light will cycle ON and OFF. Allow both units to reach stabilization for about 5 minutes. When the Motion Light is ON, motion has been detected and will cycle OFF after a short time. If the Motion Light is OFF, the unit is timing for one hour and is looking for motion to start timing again. If no motion is detected for one hour the Motion Detector will send a signal to tell the X10 Power House to sound the alarm and call the emergency phone numbers. TEST After both units have been on for about 5 minutes locate the heart shaped Pendant. The manual for the X10 Power House explains how to calibrate this Pendant. Hold the Pendant close to the Motion Detector box and calibrated both units at the same time. This calibration is absolutely necessary for the system to operate properly and must be done each time the power is turned off and on. If both units do not check out, the most probable cause is battery failure. The weaker the batteries, the closer the units must be. Please keep in mind that the range of the system will depend on the battery condition. Distance between units should be within about 50 feet for reliable operation. About once a month the units should be tested. The best way is to call the first emergency phone number in the X10 Power House and tell them you are going to perform a test only. ARM/DISABLE SWITCH This switch must be in the ARM position to transmit a call signal to the X10 Power House unit. In the DISABLE position the unit will not transmit a call signal and must be in this position when the unit is first turned on, to avoid a false alarm. If the Motion Detector Box if OFF and the ARM/DISABLE switch is moved to the ARM, a false alarm will be transmitted. Move the switch to DISABLE and push the STOP button, STOP After the Deanimation Alarm System has been activated it can only be deactivated by one of the following ways. 1. The person receiving the phone call, when they press "0" on their phone. See the X10 Power House pages, Using The System. 2. Pressing the Stop button on the remote Pendant. 3. On the Motion Detector box push the Stop button, if the box is ON. If the Box is OFF, move the ARM/DISABLE switch to DISABLE and push STOP. POWER LOSS In case of a power loss the Motion Detector will send a call signal to the X10 Power House and It will call the pre-programmed phone numbers. This function will only take place as long as the system has tested out OK beforehand. BATTERY There are 3 batteries in this system. A 9 volt battery is located in the X10 Power House. It will need replacement when the Low Battery light comes on. A 3 volt battery is located in the Pendant and will need replacement when the LED light is weak or does not come on at all. Battery life is about 5 years but should be checked periodically. A 3 volt battery located inside the Motion Detector Box. This battery is like the one in the Pendant. If pushing the STOP button on the Motion Detector Box does not sound a stop signal on the X10 Power House, the 3 volt battery is the probable cause and should be replace. OPERATE After all of the above has been done and you are confident the system is working move the ARM/DISABLE SWITCH to the ARM position. Be sure you notify the person your system is set to call and inform them that you are making a test. . NOW plug in the phone line and make your test phone call. After the test restore the system to its operational state. OPTIONS BED MAT OPTION The Bed Mat is placed under the patient's sleeping area and plugged into the receptacle in the back of the Motion Detector Box. As long as the patient is in bed and the ARM/DISABLE switch is in the ARM position and the system tests out OK, the Deanimation Alarm System is functional. If the patient gets out of bed the Motion Detector is disabled. The X10 Power House is still enabled and can be activated with the remote heart Pendant. This Option is under development at this time. (9/18/98) WARRANTY No warranty is expressed or implied. The patient uses this device as an aid, and in co-operation with individuals that have been notified, and agree to assist in an emergency. The patient assumes full responsibility for the operation and maintenance of this equipment. SERVICE For Service or other information call: Billy H.
