Foreword The HomeFree at Care Centers system was designed to monitor special needs and Dementia individuals in the care center environment. The Pull Cord is one of the many unique elements of this system. The Pull Cord is a small wall-mounted device, to be installed at bedside and in the bathroom of nursing homes and assisted leaving homes. Once pulled, the Pull Cord Device shall transmit panic messages once every 18-22 seconds (random interval within this range), until it is reset by a nurse. It will be possible to turn the Pull Cord on and off (for saving battery life and for aviation safety while shipped). While the Pull Cord is ON, it shall transmit a status message, once every hour, to indicate that it is still functioning and to report its battery level.

Activating the Pull Cord: The Pull Cord have an on/off function, to enable battery life saving while not in use, and aviation safety while being shipped. The Pull Cord is turned off by the manufacturer before shipment and must be activated before use. To activate, hold the Pull Cord insert the battery into the PCB. Once the Pull Cord is working, it sends a status message every 60sec to the monitoring station. The monitoring station then indicates the current battery status. This status message is sent until the Pull Cord is deactivated. 1.3. Activating a Panic Alert: To move from an ACTIVE – NO ALARM mode to an ACTIVE – PANIC ALARM mode – the user will have to pull the PCD cord. Once in panic alert mode, the Pull Cord sends a panic alert message to the monitoring station. This message is sent until the panic alert is deactivated. 1.4. Deactivating a Panic Alert: To move back from an ACTIVE – PANIC ALARM mode to an ACTIVE – NO ALARM mode (= Reset operation) – the user will have to move the pulled down knob to its original upper position. HomeFree Systems Ltd PC-830 (Pull Cord) User Manual 5 Even though the panic alert has been deactivated, the Pull Cord is still working. Therefore, the Pull Cord still sends a status message to the monitoring station. This status message is sent until the Pull Cord is deactivated. 1.5. Deactivating the Pull Cord: Holding the Pull Cord and take off the Battery. The Pull Cord is now in deactivated mode (turned off). 1.6. Cleaning Instructions A soft brush and any cleaning solution are all that is needed to clean the Pull Cord. Alcohol based solutions; Soapy water or Lysol can be used to clean the Pull Cord.

Pull Cord – PC-830-2 Operational description 1. General Description 1.1. The Pull Cord is a small wall-mounted device, to be installed at bedside and in the bathroom of nursing homes and assisted leaving homes. Once pulled, the Pull Cord Device shall transmit panic messages once every 18-22 seconds (random interval within this range), until it is reset by a nurse. It will be possible to turn the Pull Cord on and off (for saving battery life and for aviation safety while shipped). While the Pull Cord is ON, it shall transmit a status message, once every hour, to indicate that it is still functioning and to report its battery level. 1.2. The Pull Cord is a stand-alone unit. It is battery operated; it has RF transmitter module, a microcontroller, which controls the Pull Cord operation, and one PCB. 1.3. The Pull Cord has one RF channel. It is 433 MHz carrier with FSK modulated data. 2. Functional Description 2.1. The Pull Cord has four modes of operation. a) ACTIVATING THE PULL CORD: Three 5ms transmissions with interval 150 ms. b) ACTIVE: The Pull Cord sends a status message to the monitoring station (one 5ms transmission per hour) to indicate the current battery status. c) PANIC ALERT: The Pull Cord sends a panic alert message to the monitoring station in the following way. The first burst consists of three 5ms transmissions with 150ms interval (total burst duration 315 ms) and after that additional panic alert messages are sent, one 5ms alert message transmission once every randomly chosen interval of 18-22 s. This additional panic alert message is re-sent until the PANIC ALERT is deactivated. d) DEACTIVATION OF PANIC ALLERT: Three 5ms transmissions with interval 150 ms. after that the transmitter returns to ACTIVE mode.
