Radio triggers The Tunstall Vi+ supports up to 35 telecare sensors/radio triggers. Using PC Connect the radio triggers can be set up with the correct trigger type, location code and usage e.g. whether it is used as part of a virtual sensor.
Alerts received when no mains failure alerts have been received relate to a battery fault or failure. Such alerts should be dealt with promptly by replacing the unit’s back up battery. These can be ordered from Tunstall using part number D3316093A. This supports battery management procedures and in particular avoids the need to carry out the 6 monthly unit battery tests as previously recommended and will also raise alerts to any battery failures at the earliest opportunity.
