More Information

AlertBuddy has been tested with a range of alarm sounder devices in multiple scenarios. There are many variables that must be taken into account including alarm sounder type, alarm sounder tone, alarm sounder position, AlertBuddy position and orientation, room dimensions and room furnishing. Before general deployment in a particular situation, AlertBuddy must be tested in that situation to ensure it will be effective in the case of a real alarm event.

The test is simple:

  1. Place AlertBuddy as it is intended to be used and power it up.
  2. Activate as a minimum the nearest alarm sounder device.
  3. Allow AlertBuddy to analyse the sound.
  4. If AlertBuddy recognises the sound as an alarm, its internal sounder and red indicator will activate. If the vibrating pad is connected, this will also activate.
  5. If AlertBuddy does not activate, try changing its position and orientation and again activate the nearest alarm sounder device.
  6. If AlertBuddy still does not activate, it may be that the alarm sounder type and/or alarm sounder tone is not compatible, or that the alarm sounder is too far away from the AlertBuddy. In this case, please contact our Technical Support team and have the following information ready: (a) Alarm sounder device type; (b) Alarm sounder tone; (c) The distance between the AlertBuddy and the Alarm sounder.
