The Companion mini provides peace of mind for carers and individuals
who have epilepsy.
This product has been designed to discreetly monitor the user with high performance
sensors which identify movements that could indicate a seizure.
The monitor can help to indicate the following seizure types:
`Tonic-clonic
`Partial
`Generalised
The Companion mini is paired to the Connect-iT via Alert-iT’s failsafe “Safelink®” radio
system. Upon detection of an alarm condition the Companion mini alerts the Connect-iT,
which in turn triggers a nursecall point or internally tted 3rd party radio board.
The Connect-iT will normally be powered from a mains adapter, but it features a battery
backup that provides over 24 hours of power in case of a power cut.
The Companion mini is a battery powered device with a 1 year battery life.

Quickstart 8
`Now ensure that the “Monitor” LED ashes green
every time the radio product transmits (Every 8
seconds for a Safelink enabled product like the
Companion mini)
`Ensure the “Alarm” LED ashes and the Wired output
activates when the monitor is triggered.
See page 16 for details
`Pull out the 12v DC jack to simulate a power cut. The
device should continue to operate as expected on the
battery backup. See page 16 for details of LED status
`Fix the Connect-iT’s back panel to a wall using the
provided screws OR sticky pads
PLEASE NOTE:
We highly recommend screws are used, as the sticky
pads can slowly work their way loose over time
unless the surface is perfectly clean and at
`Clip the Connect-iT onto the back panel
`Route the cables to ensure they do not pose an
entanglement or trip hazard
`You can now return the monitors to their intended
locations and test the system works as expected. i.e
Monitors are within range of each other and trigger
your system/nurse call
Figure 3
Quickstart 9
`As you are paired with a Safelink enabled epilepsy
monitor, the Connect-iT will raise a “Radio Fail” fault
and trigger an alarm if it does not receive any radio
signals for 2 minutes.
`So if the wired output is activating unexpectedly
and the “Monitor” LED is ashing it may be that the
monitor has been turned off.
`The lights and sounds can be disabled by holding the
“Clear” button on power-up. See page 20 for details.
`Please be aware that Nurse Call systems which
do not use a “Normally closed” connection may
not be alerted if the nurse call lead is unplugged or
disconnected. Regular testing must be performed to
ensure system is working as intended.
`It is recommended not to use this system where a
risk Is identied that users are likely to intentionally
remove cables, or intentionally un-pair / tamper
with the monitors, as alarm conditions may not be
annunciated at the carers location.
`Use rechargeable batteries (listed) only!

Companion mini Function 10
Device Installation
Turning on the Companionmini (Monitor)
The Companion mini monitor is shipped in a low-power state.
The monitor is turned on by pressing the recessed ‘Test’ button on the front of the monitor (Figure 1), typically
using a pen tip. The monitor will rst enter a 60 second test mode.
When the “Test” button is pressed the internal red light will ash to indicate the unit is now turned on and in test
mode. After 60 seconds the light will stop ashing and the test mode will end.
This test mode exists to allow the user to easily test the positioning of the monitor under the bed. While in test
mode, every time the monitor detects movement, it sends out a radio signal to the Connect-iT.
