Commissioning and maintenance

Configuration / Teaching in the transmitter
6 1
Commissioning the CareMat with 868 MHz EasyWave
requires the use of a corresponding radio receiver with EasyWave
As the main functions of this transmitter/receiver system are executed in
the radio receiver, please consult the radio receiver operating instructions
to find the steps required for commissioning.
For information on how to teach the CareMat into a radio receiver, consult
the appropriate operating instructions; this information can be found in
chapters covering programming or teaching in transmitters, for example.
If the instructions state that the transmitter button needs to be activated,
what this is referring to in the case of the CareMat with 868 MHz EasyWave
radio transmitter is activating the CareMat. The CareMat is activated when it
is stepped on or when a hand is pressed forcefully onto the active switching
surface.
The radio receiver operating instructions also explain how to connect radio
receivers to existing call systems. As well as this, they describe various
functions and operation modes such as the display indicating that the bat-
tery for the radio transmitter inside the CareMat is low.
Maintenance and changing the radio transmitter battery
6 2
Aside from changing the battery, the CareMat with 868 MHz EasyWave
transmitter is maintenance-free. To change the battery, proceed as follows:
Remove the housing cover on the rear of the CareMat (6 countersunk
screws M3 x 5, cross-head size PH1).
Carefully lift the transmitter housing off the CareMat housing. Do not
unplug the cable connections.
Lift the transmitter housing cover as shown in the illustration. Remove the
spent battery and insert a new one (type CR2032, 3 V lithium). Close the
transmitter housing cover.
Insert the transmitter housing back in the CareMat housing and carefully
place the connection cables and the radio antenna cable back in the
CareMat housing.
Reinstall the housing cover. Carefully tighten the 6 screws by hand;
do not overtighten.

Fault finding
If the system functions are not being provided, the user should check
the following:
Has another transmitter/receiver system been paired, or have any compo-
nents been mixed up?
Is the CareMat's radio transmitter battery OK?
Has the information in the operating instructions for the radio receiver
been observed?

Note
Once the CareMat has been paired with a radio receiver, these
components form a call system. Especially in cases where multiple
CareMat call systems are being used, we highly recommend label-
ling components that belong together to indicate this once teach-in
is complete. In this way, it can be ensured that the components are
®
not mixed up and that the call is only triggered in the particular
room where the CareMat and the associated radio receiver are also
actually located.

When performing a battery change, ensure that the battery does
not come into contact with the soldered joints of the cables –
risk of short circuit. Locate the battery centrally.
If the system is being operated together with a call system: Is the radio
transmitter connected to the call system as specified?
If the points mentioned above have been checked out, but the system
functions are, despite this, still not being provided, you should consult
a qualified expert.
