PANDAHLINK is the
main system communications device which manages all wireless signals
between itself and PAL’s and PAD’s.
Once triggered, PANDAHLINK sends alert notifications
to nominated carers in the form of SMS text messages.
Rather than using a mobile phone for SMS dispatch, PANDAHLINK transfers
pre-defined SMS messages to an SMS message centre using the standard
telephone dial-up line. This method is preferred since the dial-up
line is robust, does not require mains power and is free of
SIM card costs and contracts. Further, PANDAH is
not dependent upon mobile phone coverage for SMS message transmission. |

PANDAHLINK features two buttons -
HELP and HOME/AWAY - with associated red and green light indicators.
The larger button functions as an alarm trigger, with associated red lights on
either side of the button whilst the smaller button functions as a Home / Away
switch for moving between active and inactive modes of operation. Active mode
(Home mode) is indicated with a permanent green light. The owner switches PANDAHLINK to
Away mode when leaving the premises. This suspends welfare monitoring, caller
identification of incoming calls from carers and wanderer functions should they
be selected. Should the owner forget to switch PANDAHLINK to
Home mode on return, any PANDAH system OK button or alarm trigger
will immediately return PANDAHLINK to the active mode of operation. |

| When help is required,
simply press the large help button. PANDAHLINK will
acknowledge the trigger, sending confirmation back to the PAL which
will then beep and flash the red light. After 10 seconds, PANDAHLINK will
send the HELP SMS message to the nominated carers. |

Welfare Monitoring |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Not only does PANDAHLINK respond
to wireless triggers from up to fourteen PAL and PAD personal
devices, it functions as a monitoring controller. This selectable
monitoring function signals the PAL at predermined
times throughout the day to enquire as to the owner's welfare. Up
to five daily times may be specified.
Whenever a query time occurs, the PAL beeps and flashes the
red light prompting an acknowledgement from the owner.

Pressing the OK button
will silence PANDAH. However, should the owner
press the HELP button or not acknowledge at all, PANDAHLINK will
send an appropriate alarm SMS to the nominated carer(s).
This automatic monitoring process enhances the level of reassurance for both
the owner and for those undertaking their care. |
|
|
Caller Identification |
|
|
|
If the home telephone line has Caller
Identification (CLID) activated, PANDAHLINK can
be configured to identify incoming calls from carers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
When a carer telephones the home,
the green light on the PAL will flash indicating
that the call is from a carer. Simply pressing the OK button
allows the owner to respond to the carer with an 'I Am OK' SMS
message.
This informs the carer that the owner is OK, even though they chose not to answer
the phone. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PANDAHLINK automatically
detects an out-of-range PAL. If wireless contact
is lost between the two units for a predefined period of time, PANDAHLINK sends
an SMS message to the carer.
This is useful when the monitored person is prone to wandering
away from home.
Similarly, an SMS message is sent when the PAL returns within
radio range.
PANDAHLINK also detects a low battery
condition in any of the PAL's and PAD's
and sends an SMS message to the carer advising of this condition.
You can expect at least 2 years battery life.

PANDAHLINK is
powered by a 6VDC plug pack and contains re-chargeable batteries.
The battery backup provides at least 24 hours of normal operation
in the absence of 240V mains power.
Should mains power be lost, PANDAHLINK sends a 'Power Lost'
SMS message to the primary carer. A 'Power Restored' SMS message is sent when
power is regained. |
