11. Installation of the sensor
Bed sensor
• Place the bed sensor across the bed, under the mattress at approximately chest
height. (picture 12)
• To prevent the bed sensor from moving, fix the sensor to the bed bottom or mattress
using the double sided tape provided or e.g. cable ties (picture 26). The tape will not
leave a mark and it will come off as a whole if removed.
• Check at least once a week that the bed sensor is properly positioned.
• If you are using the bed sensor with a spring mattress, always place the bed sensor
between the mattress and the mattress topper!
• Always place the bed sensor under the mattress or mattress topper, never just under
the sheet. The bed sensor must not come into direct contact with a person!
• The bed sensor is designed to last for a minimum of two (2) years placed under a
foam mattress and against the hard base of a bed frame.
• With a spring mattress, the service life of the bed sensor is considerably shorter. When
the bed sensor is placed on a spring mattress, the user's weight and movement will
cause the sensor to crumple, which may affect the sensor's performance. The
manufacturer recommends that users replace the sensor when it starts to look
crumpled. When used with a spring mattress, the sensor should be replaced every
year. The warranty does not cover damage caused by crumpling.
• If the bed sensor is used with a pressure care mattress that is adjusted using a
compressor pump, the mattress may interfere with the sensor's performance. If you
are unsure about the suitability of your mattress, please contact the manufacturer.
