5 Personal Help Button Overview
5.1 Pearl
• Pearl has a large button surface area to make it easy to press in an
emergency and is recessed to reduce false activations.
• Bi-directional communication with the base unit (transceiver).
• A light ring around the outer edge of Pearl will flash red to let a user
know that their alert has been received by the base unit, and will be
sent to monitoring.
• Range testing for installers is made easy with the light ring confirming
communication with a base unit.
• Pearl is hot waterproof and can be worn in the bath or shower.
• Pearl has excellent range to a base unit, with 300m+ being typical in
open air.
• The use of quality components and rigorous testing ensures each Pearl
will work when needed.
• Pearl self-tests to the base unit. This signal is logged and tracked. A
report will be sent if a Pearl stops working.
• Typical life of a Pearl battery is five years.
• Pearl reports when the battery capacity has reduced to 20%, providing
ample time to organise a replacement.
5.2 Pearl Advanced
Pearl Advanced is a smart, easy to wear transceiver with fall detection technology. When a fall is detected Pearl
Advanced communicates bi-directionally with SEVEN which then sends an alert to the monitoring centre, summoning
help for the user.
• Pearl Advanced has an elegant, discrete casing that is hot waterproof and can be worn in
the bath or shower.
• Pearl Advanced automatically detects a fall and sends a fall alert when help is needed.
• Pearl Advanced is designed to detect a significant fall from standing, and subsequent
impact. Chiptech recognises that people fall in different ways and it is possible some types
of falls will not be detected. The help button on Pearl Advanced can always be pressed to
summon assistance.
• Pearl Advanced has a comprehensive six stage algorithm. When a significant fall and impact is detected by Pearl
Advanced, the pendant looks for movement. If none is found, then it sounds warning beeps for ten seconds, to
signify it is about to send an alert for help to the monitoring centre. During this pre-alarm sequence, the Pearl
Advanced unique ‘Shake to Cancel’ feature can be utilised to stop an alert from being sent to the base unit.
Shaking the pendant quickly from side to side cancels an alert, so false activations are minimised.
• When the alert has been received by an operator, they can call back and speak to the user through the automatic
speakerphone on the base unit, and organise assistance if required.
