WARNING  
Read these installation instructions thoroughly before using the Informer-Mate™  
system. Failure to do so may result in injury or death to a person in your care.  
Test the Informer-Matecontrol unit and sensor pad before each use and inspect  
the cords and sensor pads for signs of damage. Replace any components with signs  
of wear or damage immediately.  
The Informer-Matesystem is only one part of your facility's fall management  
program. The Informer-Matesystem is not a substitute for proper nursing care or  
routine visual monitoring by caregivers. The effectiveness of the Informer-Mate™  
system relies entirely on an immediate response by the caregiver to the Informer-  
Matesystem alarm.  
The Informer-Matesystem will not stop a person from leaving a bed or chair. It is  
intended only to alert a caregiver that a patient or resident may need assistance.  
The Informer-Matesystem can be defeated by a cognitively aware person, a  
person with only a few moments of lucidity, or an uncooperative person. Properly  
assess each individual before the Informer-Matesystem is used.  
Resident weight may affect proper operation. Models 82700, 82708, 82710, 82715,  
83700 and 83705 pressure pads are not recommended for persons weighing less  
than 60 lbs.  
Keep the sensor pad flat at all times. Folding the pad will damage it. Do not use the  
pad if it has been folded.  
Sensor pads were designed to withstand normal wear and tear, but are more likely  
to fail and fail without warning due to prolonged use and other factors, e.g.  
bending, exposure to moisture, punctures, repeated cord pulls, connector damage,  
etc. Test each pad before each use and remove it from service at any sign of  
damage or at the end of the stated life of the pad (as labeled on it), whichever  
comes first.  
CAUTION  
Use care when installing the Informer-Matesystem. Gently remove or connect  
cords. Pulling on cords may damage them and/or result in system failure.  
When putting your sensor pads into position, keep the pad face up. Failure to do  
so will result in reduced sensitivity and improper operation of your Informer-  
MateTM system.  
Replace the battery immediately if the red low battery light on the control unit is  
on. The control unit will not function properly with a low battery.  
Do not immerse the sensor pads in liquids. The pad will not operate properly if the  
sensor pad is exposed to excessive liquids. If the pad is immersed in liquid, discard  
it immediately.

Description of the Micro-Tech Informer-  
Mate Series Monitoring Systems  
WARNING  
Before installing this system, please read and follow these instructions carefully.  
Failure to do so could result in injury or death to a person in your care. No  
device is a substitute for proper nursing care.  
®
The Micro-Tech Informer-Mate system is designed to help reduce the risk  
of falls by alerting caregivers when a resident is leaving a bed, chair, or  
wheelchair. Mount the monitor on the bed, chair or wheelchair using one  
®
of the Micro-Tech mounting brackets according to the included  
®
instructions. Place a Micro-Tech pressure pad on the bed, chair or  
wheelchair according to the instructions included with the pad and attach  
the cord to the monitor. When a resident moves from the pad, an alarm  
sounds, alerting you of a potential fall risk.  
Monitor Design  
®
The Micro-Tech Informer-Mate series incorporates several important  
features, allowing you to focus on resident care and safety while  
maintaining protocols. The monitors feature a dual button reset feature  
which helps discourage resident tampering. Multiple alarm notification  
options are available, allowing you to customize alert notification for each  
resident, each wing, or any other configuration you desire. Lights have  
been added to help you identify the monitor when in alarm condition in a  
crowded or dark room. To help protect the monitor, an integrated cushion  
protector and pad strain relief system have been added to protect the  
monitor and pad from accidental damage due to dropping or wheelchair  
entanglement.  
Alert Notifications  
®
The Micro-Tech Informer-Mate series can be set up in multiple alarm  
configurations to allow you to customize the monitor to your specific  
resident and staff needs. The monitors feature Hi/Low volume control, 0 or  
2-second alarm delay to help prevent false alarms from resident movement,  
and lights to alert staff to an alarm condition. Additionally, the Informer-  
Mate Deluxe monitor offers multiple alarm notification tones and a nurse  
call jack for nurse station notification.  
Multiple Pad Options to Fit your Specific Needs  
Micro-Techoffers multiple pad options to allow you to customize each  
system to your specific patient needs. Pads are available for beds, chairs,  
and wheelchairs in a variety of sizes and time-length options.

Installing the Informer-Mate System on a Bed  
WARNING  
Keep the sensor pad flat at all times. Folding the pad may damage it. Do  
not use the pad if it has been folded.  
Check for proper operation of the Informer-Matesystem with each  
mattress type used.  
Above the mattress set-up  
1. Place the bed sensor pad across the width of the bed and under any  
sheets, overlays or incontinence pads (Figure 4). Placement should  
be under the patient or resident's buttocks area.

3. Route the sensor pad cable from the sensor pad to the control unit.  
The cable will need to run from the top of the mattress to the  
underside of the bed and up the headboard, footboard, or rail of the  
bed (Figure 4). Make sure the cable lies freely and does not  
interfere with handrails or moving parts of the bed.  
4. Mount the control unit on the bed headboard, footboard, or rail in a  
convenient location using the mounting strap or mounting bracket.  
Optional wide mounting brackets are available for extra wide  
headboards and footboards.  
5. Insert the sensor pad cable into the sensor pad receptacle on the  
control unit.  
6. If you are using the Informer-Mate Deluxe system, set the desired  
alarm tone by sliding the volume switch to position 1, 2, 3 or 4. If  
connecting a nurse call cable to the deluxe unit, the alarm will,  
when sounding, automatically be sent to the nurse call unit and the  
local alarm will be disabled.  
7. Test the Informer-Matemonitoring system before each use and  
inspect the pads and monitor regularly to make sure they are not  
damaged. Test the system by pressing firmly on the pad for 3  
seconds. When you remove pressure, the alarm should sound. Reset  
the alarm using the 2-button reset.

additional cushion, test the  
system by pressing firmly on  
the top of both cushions.

control unit.  
4. If you are using the Informer-Mate Deluxe system, set the desired  
alarm tone by sliding the volume switch to position 1, 2, 3 or 4. If  
connecting a nurse call cable to the deluxe unit, the alarm, when  
sounding, will automatically be sent to the nurse call unit and the  
local alarm will be disabled.  
5. Test the Informer-Matemonitoring system before each use and  
inspect the pads and monitor regularly to make sure they are not  
damaged. Test the system by pressing firmly on the pad for 3  
seconds. When you remove pressure, the alarm should sound. Reset  
the alarm using the 2-button reset.
