Opens up assistive technology possibilities
The SID Magnet is specifically designed hardware to provide assistive technology to support individuals at home or within a rest home setting to remain safe and well.
This Standard Interface Device plus Magnet (SID + Magnet) is a second generation product, intended to replace the existing Chiptech SID range with notable improvements to the case, battery life, programming and usability.
Internal Reed Switch and External Magnet
Designed for easy installation and environmental protection, including a matching magnet casing.
Small form factor case
Case design is stylish and discrete for installing around the home without drawing unwanted attention.
Servicing made easy
Installer replaceable coin cell battery, in a larger battery size, doubles the product life before battery replacement is required.
Configurable Button
A single grey 15mm soft button in the center of the case for efficient pairing and range testing.
Button is recessed to prevent false activations, but easy to press with haptic feedback when the button is activated.
Can be configured to activate a separate ‘help’ or ‘duress’ or ‘bogus caller’ alert, while the change to the SID + Magnet connection will send a report for the device type configured, i.e. door, window, fridge monitor.
Who is it for?
Elderly
SID + Magnet is a safety addition to the standard Chiptech Telecare offering, enhancing an end user’s security and safety, whether they are living independently at home, or within a care environment where they require some additional proactive support.
Dementia
Support those with early-stage dementia to remain safe at home by adding a Door Contact, Gate Contact and Fridge Monitoring to their existing telecare package.
How SID Magnet works
Alert
When the Magnet is separated from the SID (by an object opening) it will send an ‘Alert’ signal to the base unit.
Alert Received
At the reception of each Alert signal the base unit is configured to either sound a local alarm or send a quiet report to responders so the event can be recorded, or assistance can be actioned.
Restore
When the Magnet is back next to SID (within 20mm) it will also send a ‘Restore’ signal to the base unit, the base unit typically handles these by silently reporting the change in status.
Button Press
When pressed, the button on the SID case will either send the Alert type i.e. Door open, or activate a Help or Bogus Caller alert. The Base unit is designed to be able to behave differently depending on the signal received.
Options
SID + Magnet hardware can be orderd with a specific setup or configured (using Otto) to be installed as any of the following products variations.
Door Contact
Gate Contact
