AC25-1: How to set-up the Movement Sensor Pad in baby's cot

1. Remove the tab from the battery holder on the Sensor Pad 

                       

1. Remove the mattress from the crib, place Sensor Pad - Angelcare® logo side up - on base in the approximate centre of the cot.
   • If your crib does not have a solid, stationary, completely flat, firm surface including a spring base, place a hardboard between the crib base and the Sensor Pad, to ensure correct operation. The hardboard support must measure at least 30 x 30 cm (12” x 12”) and 6 mm (1/4”) thick. This hardboard support must be larger than the Sensor Pad surface area. The hardboard maintains a constant pressure on the Sensor Pad, enabling it to detect the baby’s movements even when the baby is at the edges of the crib
   • If your crib has a slatted base, make sure the edges of your Sensor Pad are placed a held over 2 slats.
          
2. Replace the mattress

IMPORTANT: The Sensor Pad functions with standard crib sprung and foam mattresses and NOT memory foam (partial or full), hollow frame construction mattresses and water beds. 

When the Sensor Pad is in place, proceed to the 4 corner test to set the optimal Sensor Pad sensitivity for your crib. 

SENSOR PAD FOUR CORNER TEST

1. Place the Sensor Pad at the approximate centre of the baby’s sleeping area and put the mattress back in place
2. Switch ON both Nursery/Camera & Parent Units – check both units are paired (connected)
3. Immediately pat your hand lightly and continuously on a corner of the mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement. If movement is detected you will hear a TIC sound (if TIC feature is activated) every 5 seconds and Parent Unit will flash green for a single Sensor Pad
4. Step away from the crib
5. The alarm will sound from the Nursery/Camera and Parent Unit after 20 seconds. If the Alarm does not sound, ensure everything is set up correctly and try again; check battery levels on all units, search for the article entitled ‘AC327 NOT ALARMING’– as the sensitivity setting may require lowering by a single level due to other vibrations/movements
6. If the alarm does sound, pat your hand lightly on a corner of mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement.
   NOTE: It can take up to 8 seconds for the Sensor Pad to recognize movement and for the alarm to stop
7. If the alarm continues, even after lightly patting the corner of your mattress twice, adjust the sensitivity higher (up one level) and repeat this test

ALWAYS:

• Test your monitor before first use
• Prior to use and on a regular basis (before placing your baby in the crib, cot) always check the Sensor Pad is not detecting any movements or vibrations in its environment
• Test your monitor every time you move the Sensor Pad to a different place
