These instructions are to add a brand new wireless sensor outlet into the Vigil Software. Please see Replacing a Wireless Sensor Outlet in the Vigil Software if you’re removing an old device and replacing it with a new one.
Steps to add a new wireless sensor outlet to the Vigil software:
Log in to Vigil Remote- Enter your username and password and click Login
- From the Main Menu click on Wireless Devices.
Select Add from the bottom of the screen.
Follow the instructions on the Add Wireless Device wizard. *Be sure to have the new sensor outlet with the battery in to complete the process. *- Click Continue.
- Enter Transmitter ID. The ID will be a combination of letters and numbers found on the sensor outlet.
Select the Call Type as Sensor Outlet – Bed or Sensor Outlet – Chair.- This is a stationary device: should be unchecked for use with chair sensors on wheelchairs. Leave this boxed checked for bed sensors or chair sensors used in a recliner.
- Select the Area
- Select the Room number
- Select the Bed if applicable
- *Optional* In the Name/Description field add any additional information that would help care staff find the sensor outlet quickly. e. “recliner” or the residents name.
- Click Next (at any time throughout the wizard, you can click Back or Edit Device if you need to change something.)
When is this device active? Click Next if you want this device to alert 24 hours day. (Recommended) If you want it to work only at night, click Add Period and enter the times you want the device to alert. (20:00 to 07:00 for example)- Click Next.
You will be asked if you want to assign the sensor outlet to corridor lights. This is not recommended. Click Next.
Select the Paging Plan you wish to associate with the sensor outlet.- *Optional* Check Yes to Enable Cancel Message? if you would like to have a second message sent to staff notification devices once the call is cancelled at the source. Typically used in communities with low call volume. Otherwise, leave the check mark in No.
- Review the Paging Message Preview and/or the Cancel Message.
- Click Next.
- Will this device be used for staff checkin? And Will this device be used for residents checkin? The sensor outlet is not compatible with these systems, so the check boxes are greyed out.
Sensor Outlet Monitoring Note: this feature is only enabled on ZBSO2 devices. ZBSO2’s look different in that they have instructions printed on the case, and they have black switches labelled Cancel and Ready.- This feature is on by default. It will send an alert if the sensor outlet is left in the Cancel position for more than 15 minutes. A “Sensor Outlet Not Ready” call would be sent to staff notification devices to remind them to turn the sensor outlet to Ready.
- Sensor Outlet Not Ready Delay: The default time the sensor outlet can be on Cancel without sending a notification is 15 minutes. Uncheck the Use Default box if you need to adjust the length of time.
- Cords Used: Check which socket on the sensor outlet you would like monitored. If you’re only using a bed or chair sensor, leave Exit checked. If you will use a bed and incontinence sensor, check both Wet and Bed.
- Click Continue.
- Confirm the correct pagers/groups and corridor lights are assigned. If you need to make changes, click Edit Device. Otherwise, click Continue.
- *Optional* Check Yes to Enable Cancel Message? if you would like to have a second message sent to the pagers once the call is cancelled at the source. Typically used in communities with low call volume. Otherwise, leave the check mark in No.
- Click Next.
- Test the new sensor outlet and confirm the information is correct on the device testing screen.
- Click Continue.
- Cancel the call on the sensor outlet and Click Finish to complete the process.
