Supplied with everything you need to get started, this alarm kit is a great choice for both domestic care and care home environments.

What Is the Purpose of this Home Care Alarm?
The Floor Pressure Sensor Mat is designed to be used under a carpet or rug, and is useful to place near exits or beside a patient's bed to aid effective monitoring and prevent vulnerable patients from wandering. When pressure is placed on the mat, this activates the transmitter (included with purchase), and sends an alert to carers. This means that when patients stand on the mat, carers will be alerted immediately.
This care alarm is suitable for use domestic care and care home environments, particularly those with vulnerable patients prone to wandering, including elderly patients and dementia patients.
How Should I Use the Sensor Mat Alarm?
The pressure pad should be placed underneath a rug or carpet, due to the slippery nature of the surface. Especially for those who are already unstable on their feet, leaving the pressure mat uncovered is a serious trip hazard.
Please Note: The mat should not be folded. Folding the mat will damage and crack the sensors.
Spares, Alternatives, and Accessories
- Spare Mat Transmitter: If you need to replace the transmitter for this floor mat, you can purchase another one separately
- MPPL Pager: This is an older model of the pager that is supplied with this unit, but will still work as part of this alarm system. Please note that this pager has a shorter range, and can connect to eight rather than nine transmitter devices
- Signal Repeater: This is the perfect tool to boost signal and extend the range of various alarm sensors, and is particularly ideal for larger houses or homes with thicker walls
Creating a Multi-Alarm System
It is possible to connect up to nine alarm-systems to the supplied pager, making it possible to create an effective multi-alarm system. For this, you could add up to eight other mat-alarms to cover a wider area of the patient's living environment, or you could add different alarm types for versatile protection. This includes:
- Door Alarm Sensors: monitor when patients open doors, alarms, and windows to help minimise wandering risks
- PIR Transmitter: a motion-sensor monitor suitable for use in various areas, that can be easily fixed to a wall or similar flat surface
- Panic Alarm Button: the panic button provides a more direct way for patients to send an alert to carers during emergencies
