Universal sensor

Connect multiple sensors to enable independent living

Purpose

Raises wireless alarm calls through wired devices and other equipment

The Tunstall universal sensor connects multiple hardwired devices to a Lifeline home unit and other Tunstall telecare-enabled systems. It uses radio signals to enable wireless alarm calls to be raised.

Uses radio signals to raise wireless alarm calls.
Increases capacity for independent living by adding sensors around the home.
Simple way to connect multiple sensors to telecare-enabled systems.
Saves time and money on installation and additional wiring.
Long battery life reduces the need for maintenance visits.
Plug and play, so the installer can easily select the appropriate sensor type sent to the monitoring centre by using the keypad and the LCD interface.

How

How does it work?

The universal sensor works as an interface between hard-wired devices and Tunstall telecare enabled systems.

The keypad and LCD interface allow the installer to easily set the sensor to send a message to the home unit, identifying which type of device it is linked to. When the attached device is triggered, the universal sensor sends the appropriate message, providing the operator at the monitoring centre with sufficient information to respond accordingly.
