1 Introduction The new improved Wireless Monitoring Unit (iDEU-810-4) is a versatile combination of both transmitter and receiver that is designed to extend the transmission / reception range of HomeFree at Care Centers systems. The Wireless Monitoring Unit (iDEU-810-4) is one of many specifically positioned mini control units that are placed at various locations throughout the facility and are capable of receiving transmission signals from multiple sources and then transferring these signals to the next Wireless Monitoring Unit (iDEU-810-4) in the network or directly to the Wireless Monitoring Base Unit. The Wireless Monitoring Unit (iDEU-810-4) transmits on an American FCC tested and approved frequency; whereas the European version (iDEU-810-4) transmits on a European tested and approved frequency. From a user interface and functional point of view, the two models are identical, therefore this installation and operational guide serves both versions. iDEU-810 Installation and Operational Guide 1-1 1.1 Parts of the Wireless Monitoring Unit

The Wireless Monitoring Unit should also be mounted within reach of a power outlet (an electrician my need to install a power outlet near the chosen Wireless Monitoring Unit location). Note that the distance between the wall and the Wireless Monitoring Unit should be at least 10 cm. There are two ways to mount the Wireless Monitoring Unit. The first is to mount the Wireless Monitoring Unit on the wall using the fixed mounting brackets together with the dowel and screw fitting, and the second is to use the fixed mounting brackets and a Velcro fitting. Both of these fitting options are supplied with the Wireless Monitoring Unit. 2.1 Permanent Anchor/Dowel Wall Fitting The anchor/dowel wall fitting is generally used for installing the Wireless Monitoring Unit in a permanent location. In order to mount the Wireless Monitoring Unit using the anchor/dowel wall fittings, perform the following:
1. Place the Wireless Monitoring Unit on its faceplate with the fixed mounting brackets facing upwards. 2. Make a drilling template by tracing around the mounting brackets on the back of the Wireless Monitoring Unit onto a piece of A4 paper, not forgetting to mark the holes for the anchor/dowels. 2-4 iDEU-810 Installation and Operational Guide 3. Using the template, drill two holes in the wall and place the supplied wall anchors/dowels into these holes. 4. Insert the supplied bolts/screws into the wall dowels, ensuring not to tighten the bolts/screws completely. 5. Holding the Wireless Monitoring Unit with the mounting brackets facing away from you, maneuver the holes on the mounting brackets over the bolts/screws already attached to the wall. 6. Pull the mounting brackets down over the bolts/screws slightly to ensure that the bolts/screws lock into the holes on wall bracket. 7. Using an extension ratchet, tighten the bolts/screws until the Wireless Monitoring Unit sits firm against the wall and does not move in any way. 2.2 Temporary Velcro Wall Fitting The Velcro wall fitting may be used for installing the Wireless Monitoring Unit in a temporary location (e.g. during pre-installation and range setting procedures). In order to mount the Wireless Monitoring Unit using the supplied Velcro wall fittings, perform the following:
1. Place the Wireless Monitoring Unit on its faceplate with the fixed wall brackets facing upwards. 2. Peel off the paper strip from the backside (smooth side) of the black Velcro attachment and press the sticky side down onto the wall bracket. Do this for both wall brackets. 3. Place the bristle side of the transparent Velcro attachment on top of the black Velcro attachment and press down firmly, connecting the two Velcro attachments together. 4. Peel off the paper strip from the backside (smooth side) of the transparent Velcro attachment. iDEU-810 Installation and Operational Guide 2-5 5. Holding the Wireless Monitoring Unit with the mounting brackets facing away from you, maneuver the Wireless Monitoring Unit to a suitable mounting location. 6. Using sufficient pressure, adhere the mounting bracket on the Wireless Monitoring Unit, to the wall. 2-6 iDEU-810 Installation and Operational Guide 3 Activating the Wireless Monitoring Unit In order to activate the Wireless Monitoring Unit, perform the following:
1. Connect the adapter end of the power supply to a power outlet. 2. Connect the small end of the supplied power supply into the 7.5 VDC power socket located on the side panel of the Wireless Monitoring Unit. The Wireless Monitoring Unit makes three audible beeping sounds. The Charge LED on the front panel flashes when the Wireless Monitoring Unit is first activated. The Charge LED and Power LED light up only after the backup battery is fully charged. The Wireless Monitoring Unit is now in monitoring mode. iDEU-810 Installation and Operational Guide 3-7 4 FCC Notices This note is applicable to the American Wireless Monitoring Unit (iDEU-810-4) NOTE - The Wireless Monitoring Unit (iDEU-810-4) complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
