What are Signaling Systems?
Signaling systems, or simply signalers, are designed to help notify you of different events, such as the phone/videophone ringing, the doorbell, a baby's cry, motion, weather alerts, smoke alarms, or carbon monoxide detectors. Also known as alerting or notification systems, these devices can alert you to different events through flashing lights, loud audible alarms, and/or vibration.
There are four things to consider when customizing an alerting system:
1. Transmitters:
Which event do you want to be notified of?
You will need to purchase one transmitter for each event you would like to be notified of. Each transmitter is designed to alert you for a specific event; however, some transmitters do work for more than one event, such as a door and phone transmitter. For example, if you want to be alerted when your phone rings and when baby is crying, you would purchase one phone transmitter and one baby cry transmitter.
2. Receivers
How many rooms do you want to be notified in?
For each room you want to be notified in, you will need to purchase a receiver. For example, if you wanted to be alerted in the bedroom, living room, and kitchen, you should purchase three receivers. Some brands also have portable receivers (such as pagers and watches) that you can bring with you wherever you go in your home. Each receiver will work with all your transmitters, as long as they are the same brand.
3. 
Compatibility
To ensure compatibility we suggest purchasing the same brand of signaling components. Don't mix apples with oranges! For example, if you already own a Sonic Boom SB1000ss alarm clock, buy signalers made by Sonic Alert.
4. Technology
Basically, there are two types of technology available for alerting systems. They can be either:
Radio Frequency (RF) Technology:
This technology sends a signal from your transmitters to your receivers through radio waves. It is ideal for both home use and for people who live in apartments, dorms, or other types of public housing because built-in dip switches can be adjusted to ensure your system will not interfere with a neighboring system. The following brands are radio frequency: Bellman & Symfon, Clarity/Ameriphone, and Silent Call.
Line Carrier Technology:
This technology sends a signal from your transmitters to your receivers through your home's electrical circuits. There is not any specific information about this technology that you need to be aware of. Sonic Alert uses line carrier technology.
Why are signalers so important?
Signaling systems not only allow deaf and hard-of-hearing people become more independent, they may also save lives. Watch the video to your right and see why alerting devices are so important!
At Assistech we carry a wide range of visual, vibrating, and audio signalers for the deaf and the hearing impaired, including the newest T3—or Temporal 3—smoke detector technology.

TYPES OF ALERTING SYSTEMS:
Bed-Chair Exit Alarm with Weight-Sensing Bed Pad 10x30 in. System (903981)
ABOUT THE MONITOR COMPONENT:
Automatically resets after pressure is applied to a connected sensor pad!
The FallGuard Safety Auto-Reset Monitor is a fall prevention monitor that can be placed at the bedside or wheelchair, connected to a corded sensor pad. When the resident gets up and pressure is removed from the pad, the monitor will sound alerting the caregiver. If the pressure is re-applied to the pad, the monitor will automatically reset.
The TL-2100S FallGuard Safety Auto-Reset Fall Monitor alarm works with Smart Caregiver standard bed sensor pads, chair sensor pads, floor mat sensors, and early warning seat belts.
ABOUT THE CHAIR SENSOR PAD COMPONENT:
No more broken cords! This Bed Alarm Sensor Pad has a replaceable SafeTRelease that separates instead of breaking or pulling cord away from pad, providing greater safety with less tripping risk and reducing the need to buy new sensor pads due to cord damage.
Bed Alarm Sensor Pads by Smart Caregiver are placed under the resident on the bed. When resident gets up and pressure is released from the pad the monitor will be activated and alert the caregiver (Monitor required, not included).
The PPB-RI Bed Alarm Sensor Pad offers caregivers an efficient method of knowing when a resident is getting out of a bed. Bed Alarm Sensor Pads from Smart Caregiver are compatible with all Smart Caregiver fall prevention monitors and systems.
These Bed sensor pads are totally sealed and impervious to fluids. They are made with silver membrane technology to assure a long reliable life.
