How does sensor work-just barrier being broken or does patient wear sensor

The barrier/beam is broken. When my husband rose out of bed, the motion caused the sensor alarm to go off. This is perfect!

If barrier is broken the sensor the pager will make a very loud sound. As there was no adjustment for sound control, we always placed the pager in another room. Trust me, you will hear the sound. This device was a life saver for the family as caregivers for our father. I daresay it prevented many falls and broken bones.

Patient DOES NOT wear the sensor. The sensor is either hung up or placed directly on a solid surface. It will go off when the barrier line has been broken and is quite sensitive, even in low light environments. The receiver is very loud, and might need to be covered to lower the volume, as there is no volume control. The great part is that it is loud enough to wake even the most sound sleeper. Prior to using this unit, you will want to test the placement and direction of angle, to have an accurate location and angle to accomplish your goal. My father has alzheimer's and this worked great with his night time wandering, until he was more recently placed in a memory care facility. Patient DOES NOT wear the sensor.

I have my sensor placed on the floor next to my mothers bed. It took some trial and error to get placement right but now when anything goes off the top of the bed, foot , sock etc. the alarm sounds and I look at the video monitor to see if she's awake or if need to go in.

The Motion Detector can send the signal from a backroom of the house to the front porch - when I work at daytime in the yard. The detector and the sensor can be switched to any place practical. Very good battery life of both devices.

My watch did include a sensor. I had purchased a second one thinking it wouldn't. Note that if you have the app for your smart phone, the watch won't interface with it. I think this is the only draw back for this watch.

Good morning. I regretted having bought this alarm. It was a waste of money and would have returned it if only I could at that time. I hope this answers a question in your mind about the reliability of this sensor.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

I use the sensor with an app on my iPhone. My experience, yes the sensor and everything, still works on a treadmill...as long as I have my phone (with the app) on me, as well. Either in an armband, or waist clip. As long as I do that, and with the sensor in my shoe...it still works. The app even asks me, when I start a new run, if I'm running indoors or outdoors. Hope that helps answer your question.

None what so ever.I stopped using it after 6 months as one sensor failed and too much hassle to get a replacement.

I am currently trying to get it to work, the software loads fine but I cannot get the computer to recognize the sensor. I sent an email to the manufacturer, will let you know if I get a response.

To my knowledge this sensor only works with the Timex brand devices. My husband uses it with his Ironman watch. It does work with gym equipment as far as calculating your heart rate & calories, etc.

No. I wish you could, but it's a pretty basic unit. I was thinking of experimenting with it by putting some translucent tape over the sensor to reduce its sensitivity, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll post another review if I do.

I use the sensor simultaneously for both the RMR391PA and the smaller EMR201 units. It sends signals to both very well. I use only channel #1 for both. I do not know about any other units; but there are several channels that can be programed with this unit. There might be several frequencies that it is capable of sending???

I have never used the sensor in the shoe since I do not care for nike shoes. When I run on the treadmill the kms match up very accurately in my experience.

There are two sensors, one for the inner zone and one for outer. Both if turned clockwise increases the sensitivity. However, an adjustment on one does affect the other if my memory serves me right.

The sensor is VERY sensitive. I have one mounted under the kitchen counter. I had to use black electrical tape to block about 95% of the sensor, to keep it from activating when getting near the counter. The tile back splash was reflecting my movements from a few feet away.

Asumming that you put your arm in properly, not to bind the sensor, It measures quite consistently. If we get a higher reading, as we're concerned about our results, we lay back to rest for 3 minutes, breathe deeply 4 times,then the measurement drops as much as 10 points. I find it's Memory records daily consistent BP's, vs our old Arm-Band unit.Checking it with the local Market, or Drug Store, it's results are very Good!

I wondered about this too. Then again, when I bought mine.... nurses were using a similar device. When I compared mine with their's by putting one on each hand. It was within 1% of them. One day mine was higher by 1% and another day it was under 1%.

I haven't used this specific sensor but for other photocell sensors I have used you can partially obstruct the cell to decrease the sensitivity. Either by adding a slightly tinted lens in front of it or reducing the size of the aperture.

The sensor is battery operated, however the battery and all of the electronics are encapsulated and as such not serviceable nor replaceable. The battery does however last several years under normal conditions.
