Remotely control per infrared and radio<br />
Environmental control is the remote control of devices.<br />
With a transmitter, receivers are controlled by radio or infrared. Receivers can be<br />
the TV, a telephone with infrared receiver or an emergency call system.<br />
A bed control provided with a receiver or a correspondingly equipped switch can<br />
be controlled, too.<br />
Environmental control enables people with motor impairments to operate devices<br />
and systems in their environment adapted to their possibilities and thereby<br />
significantly improve the quality of life.<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL<br />
Remotely control electronic and electrical devices
Did you know?…<br />
… that we are dealing with assistive technologies for over 30 years?<br />
At the beginning of the 1980s, the idea was born with the<br />
Mediencomputer MC2 of providing independent communication,<br />
information and environmental control to the most severely physically<br />
disabled people with almost complete paralysis.<br />
With a remaining motor response (for example, blowing or sucking),<br />
they could now do things that are everyday normality for healthy<br />
people. What was then a revolutionary idea, today is an integral part<br />
of the affected people’s lives.<br />
Today, environmental control devices and special controls have become much smaller, more<br />
powerful and more intelligent.<br />
Our experienced team of electronics engineers and software developers is highly motivated and<br />
works on new ideas for the future for disabled people every day. Modern electronics productions,<br />
expert advice as well as the integrated repair department ensure high quality and good service of<br />
our products.<br />

RemoBox<br />
for Easywave<br />
RemoBox<br />
Infrared controllable radio<br />
switching system<br />
RemoBox<br />
Infrared controllable radio switching<br />
system<br />
The RemoBox is an infrared radio converter. With<br />
an infrared remote control the entire spectrum of<br />
ELDAT Easywave radio receivers can be used.<br />
The corresponding function of the RemoBox is<br />
taught once into the Easywave radio receiver. You<br />
can select between 2-button operation (on / off), 1-<br />
button operation (alternating on / off) or a timer<br />
function (7 minutes on) at the receiver.<br />
In case that you only need a maximum of four<br />
radio receivers, the RemoBox can be switched to<br />
the IRS compatibility mode. A contact socket<br />
located directly on the RemoBox with normally<br />
closed and normally open contacts can also be<br />
controlled directly by infrared (nurse call etc.).<br />
The RemoBox can use simple PC software to<br />
generate all infrared codes for teaching into the<br />
appropriate environment control unit. Thus you do<br />
not need any additional teach-in remote control.<br />

RemoSet<br />
Thanks to the infrared remote control, neither the<br />
handset has to be held nor have any buttons on<br />
the telephone mobile handset to be pushed.<br />
10 | www.csslabs.de<br />
The telephone mobile handset with<br />
integrated infrared control<br />
The infrared control system RemoSet, integrated<br />
into the telephone mobile handset, enables<br />
complete operation of the keypad and the handsfree<br />
system by remote control. Main application is<br />
the operation by people with severe and most<br />
severe physical disabilities. This is usually done by<br />
means of an environmental control device. Thanks<br />
to the infrared remote control, neither a handset<br />
has to be held nor have any buttons on the<br />
telephone mobile handset to be pushed.<br />
The infrared code used is standard, which can be<br />
used by any commercially available adaptive<br />
environmental control device.<br />
RemoSet is the adaptation of a commercially<br />
available cordless telephone mobile handset, into<br />
which a complete IR control module has been<br />
integrated. This allows the entire keypad of the<br />
mobile handset to be controlled by an infrared<br />
remote control.<br />
Due to the fact that the complete infrared control<br />
system has been integrated into the mobile<br />
handset, it is not only ergonomically and very easy<br />
to handle for the wheelchair user, but is also an<br />
easy-to-use tool in any day-to-day care. It can still<br />
be used like a normal cordless phone.<br />
The RemoSet mobile handset permits hands-free<br />
talking in brilliant sound quality. The sound quality<br />
is especially noticeable when you are more than<br />
1.50 m away from the device and the person you<br />
are talking to can still understand very well.<br />
The telephone mobile handset equipped with<br />
RemoSet is supplied including a base station with<br />
charging tray for connection to the public telephone<br />
network or a point-to-point connection. Due to the<br />
extensive accessories for DECT phones, the<br />
cordless telephone can also be used as ISDNcompatible<br />
or even VOIP telephone (internet<br />
telephony). By purchasing additional DECT / GAPT<br />
compatible mobile handsets, the base station can<br />
easily be upgraded to a cordless telephone<br />
system.<br />

BIF8 plus<br />
Infrared control for<br />
electrically adjustable beds<br />
BIF8 plus<br />
Pilot Touch<br />
Per Infrarot steuerbares<br />
Funkschaltsystem<br />
Different device addresses: If several beds with a<br />
BIF8plus are used in a room, it must be ensured<br />
that each bed responds only to the corresponding<br />
remote control. For this reason, the reception<br />
address can be set.<br />
The infrared bed control BIF8plus allows wireless<br />
operating of an electrically adjustable bed by<br />
means of an infrared remote control or an<br />
environmental control unit. The BIF8plus is plugged<br />
into the motor control of the bed instead of or<br />
parallel to the wired manual control. BIF8plus<br />
provides up to eleven different switching functions<br />
for this purpose.<br />
Characteristics:<br />
•Freely selectable multiple / single function<br />
assignment<br />
•Safety circuit so that safe operation is ensured<br />
even with environmental control devices.<br />
•Individually configured for most electrically<br />
adjustable beds available.<br />
Safety circuit:<br />
Automatic shutdown of a continuous actuation: A<br />
permanent function by continuously pressing a<br />
function key is interrupted after a predefined time.<br />
Monitoring switching contacts:<br />
BIF8plus detects when one of the switching<br />
contacts is no longer electrically cut off due to a<br />
defect. In this case, the activation of the switching<br />
contacts is deactivated.<br />
System self-monitoring: In the BIF8plus safety<br />
measures were taken for a possible disturbance of<br />
the control unit. A watchdog module deactivates<br />
the activation of all switching contacts in case of a<br />
failure.<br />
Groups of switching functions and settings can be<br />
conveniently set or changed by means of a USB<br />
interface using PC software (Windows).<br />
As a rule, the standard functions headboard up/<br />
down, level up/down and foot section up/down are<br />
operated. Depending on the type of bed,<br />
combinations or special functions are also possible.<br />
Multiple actuations of the same functions:<br />
In order to ensure safe operation by means of<br />
infrared, a short compulsory pause is inserted<br />
between the repeated operations of the same<br />
functions in sequence.<br />

AssistX Call<br />
Secure call Triggering<br />
according to<br />
DIN VDE 0834<br />
AssistX Call is equipped with 2 AssistX ports.<br />
These can be connected to any 2 single sensors<br />
or push-buttons or AssistX port compatible<br />
sensors.<br />
AssistX Call is delivered to fit the<br />
corresponding call system. The power supply, if<br />
supported, is provided by the connected call<br />
system. If this is not possible, the power supply<br />
is provided by an external power supply,<br />
protected by a backup battery with several<br />
hours of runtime.<br />
AssistX Call is a sensor adapter for luminous<br />
call systems and enables call triggering using<br />
special sensors (call triggers) which cannot be<br />
connected directly to the call system. For<br />
example, with AssistX Call the proximity<br />
sensor AssistX ProX, acoustic sensor AS one,<br />
sip-puff encoder Pneumax, infrared receiver<br />
AssistX IR one, or various push-buttons,<br />
including large-sized push-buttons, can be used<br />
to call for help.<br />
AssistX Call is powered by the call system or<br />
an external power supply. In both cases, the<br />
device works even in the event of a power<br />
failure in the network. When powered by an<br />
external power supply, the built-in lithiumpolymer<br />
battery ensures full functionality for a<br />
few hours in case of power failure.<br />
The device is individually configured for different<br />
call systems and delivered with a connection cable<br />
pre-configured to the call system.<br />
Inputs for call triggering<br />
The sensors are connected to the two 3.5 mm input<br />
jack plugs. AssistX Call can add and distinguish<br />
between different sensors.<br />
Safety<br />
The AssistX Call monitors safety-relevant<br />
parameters. If a proper function is no longer<br />
guaranteed, the device triggers a call.<br />
Monitored are:<br />
•Power supply to the control unit<br />
•Sensor error (cable break, ejection)<br />
•Function monitoring of the active transmitter<br />
•Self-monitoring of the electronics<br />
•Defective sensor cable<br />
A defective sensor cable<br />
A defective sensor / switch cable or an<br />
inadvertently unplugged sensor / switch can<br />
present a danger to the caller or third persons. If a<br />
sensor error is detected, a call is triggered. The<br />
error can be displayed visually and acoustically.<br />
Pneumax or the PikoButton NC).<br />
For simple switches with a normally open contact,<br />
it is not possible to detect a defective cable for<br />
technical reasons. In order to achieve the highest<br />
possible degree of safety in these types of switches<br />
as well, simple switches with normally open<br />
contact must be operated at least once every 24<br />
hours. As a rule, this is guaranteed in everyday<br />
nursing care. If the 24 hours are exceeded without<br />
the sensor being activated, a signal light on the<br />
AssistX Call flashes and signals that the sensor is<br />
no longer considered safe and must be activated. If<br />
activation is detected, the LED goes out again.<br />
The call is triggered in parallel.<br />
However, a sensor / switch test can also be<br />
manually requested at any time by the nursing<br />
staff (morning routine).<br />
Technical data:<br />
•Power supply: Power supply via call system<br />

AssistX ® Mobil<br />
AssistX® Mobil<br />
Secure wireless call triggering<br />
according to DIN VDE 0834.<br />
AssistX Mobil<br />
Wireless home and<br />
nurse call system<br />
Assist X Mobil is a wireless home and nurse<br />
call system with connection for any triggering<br />
sensors, switches or push-buttons with 3.5 mm<br />
jack plug.<br />
The basic system consists of transmitter,<br />
receiver and a USB charger. The receiver can<br />
be easily carried on the belt using a clip.<br />
The AssistX Mobil radio paging system is the<br />
ideal solution when nursing care with mobility<br />
and safety at the same time is required .<br />
AssistX Mobil is connected in less than 5<br />
minutes and easy to use.<br />
Depending on the level of disability, special<br />
sensors for triggering the distress call can be<br />
plugged into the transmitter's connection socket.<br />
This allows even people with the most severe<br />
disabilities to make a call with an individual<br />
sensor.<br />
Several transmitters, as well as several<br />
receivers can be used together. Thus, the<br />
system is also particularly suitable for use in<br />
small residential groups.<br />
The name of the caller or the room is displayed<br />
in plain text on the display of the receiver (s).<br />
Functional principle:<br />
By pushing the button or operating a plugged in<br />
push-button / switch, a radio paging is triggered<br />
by the transmitter. This is signaled visually and<br />
acoustically to the caller.<br />
The radio paging is picked up by the receiver<br />
and signaled visually, acoustically and by vibration.<br />
The receiver then sends back an acknowledgment<br />
signal to confirm proper reception. If this<br />
acknowledgment signal is missing, the call is<br />
repeated automatically. The caller recognizes the<br />
acknowledgment by the light of a red calming<br />
lamp.<br />
At the receiver, the call must be acknowledged by<br />
pressing the "OK" key. This stops the acoustic and<br />
optical signaling.<br />
After this, the triggered call must be acknowledged<br />
manually with the caller. If this does not occur<br />
within a certain time, the call process is<br />
automatically repeated from the beginning.<br />
Perfect individual call triggering:<br />
AssistX Mobil is equipped with an AssistX port<br />
(see page 15) for call triggering. This one can be<br />
connected with any simple switches, push-buttons<br />
or AssistX Port compatible sensors. As a result, in<br />
addition to standard simple switches, the AssistX<br />
ProX one proximity sensor or the AssistX AS<br />
one acoustic sensor can be inserted directly into<br />
the transmitter and used to trigger the call.<br />
No additional power supply or cable is<br />
required.<br />
Particularly safe:<br />
The AssistX Mobil network communicates in the<br />
protected "Social Alarm" frequency band (869<br />
MHz). This makes the system particularly protected<br />
against interfering radio signals from other devices.<br />
Both transmitters and receivers have installed a<br />
powerful Lipo battery with a running time of at<br />
least 24 hours as power supply.<br />
AssistX Mobil also features a range detection. If a<br />
transmitter is out of range, this is indicated in the<br />
receiver. A low battery charge status of the<br />
transmitter is also displayed in the receiver and<br />
alarmed before reaching a critical level.<br />
All calls are recorded in the receiver with their<br />
origin, date and time so that they can be evaluated<br />
later, if necessary.<br />

SENSOR<br />
SENSOR<br />
AssistX AS one<br />
Acoustic sensor<br />
AssistX AS one<br />
Acoustic sensor that listens to human<br />
sounds<br />
With the acoustic sensor AS one, physically<br />
disabled persons can reliably trigger a distress<br />
call, without contact and movement. The wide<br />
range of settings makes it possible to adapt the<br />
acoustic sensor very well to the user's needs.<br />
Ambient noise is effectively filtered out.<br />
AS one can be set to human tones of different<br />
volume, sound frequency range and duration. In<br />
addition, a special pulse mode can be set for<br />
severely impaired users.<br />
The AS one features an AssistX port and<br />
therefore can be operated with all compatible<br />
devices from the AssistX family. The AS one is<br />
self-monitoring and automatically triggers a call<br />
in case of a failure.<br />
Connection<br />
AS one is connected to an AssistX port using<br />
the supplied cable. For example, AssistX Port,<br />
AssistX Mobil and ClickMan (newer<br />
generation) offer an AssistX port.<br />
Sound mode<br />
The pitch of the acoustic signal to trigger the sensor<br />
can be taught in. The tolerance for sensitivity and<br />
frequency as well as the duration of the sound can<br />
be adjusted. The acoustic sensor can be triggered<br />
with all sounds up to the pitch of a whistle. The<br />
most reliable triggering is achieved with a<br />
sonorous humming sound "Mmmmm".<br />
Pulse mode<br />
For heavily impaired users, who can only keep a<br />
very short sound, the acoustic sensor can be<br />
switched to the pulse mode. The sensor then<br />
responds to all noise pulses (clicking the tongue<br />
etc.), which reach the adjusted volume.<br />
Technical data:<br />
Magnetic housing base for fixing to metal strips /<br />
iron pipes or the optional wall fastening panel.<br />

#20459 Mounting for hinged bracket/tripod<br />
AssistX ProX one<br />
Proximity sensor<br />
The proximity sensor is plugged into the AssistX<br />
port of AssistX Call, AssistX Mobil or ClickMan<br />
by a 3.5 mm jack plug and then can be used like a<br />
conventional single-button sensor. In order to<br />
trigger a switching function, it is sufficient to come<br />
close to the sensor with the hand or another body<br />
part; direct contact is not necessary. Therefore, the<br />
sensor is very well suited for call triggering with<br />
minimal effort.<br />
The proximity sensor, which is integrated in a<br />
flexible hosepipe, can be individually bent towards<br />
the body. Nevertheless, the set position remains<br />
very stable. AssistX ProX one is available either<br />
mounted on a tripod and on a hinged bracket.<br />
#20453 AssistX ProX one tripod<br />
#20454 AssistX ProX one tripod with stabilizing<br />
weight<br />
#20455 AssistX ProX one hinged bracket<br />
Mode of operation<br />
The sensor responds to noise of a certain<br />
frequency and volume, which is maintained for<br />
a certain period of time. Optionally, a pulse<br />
mode can be set for particularly impaired users,<br />
which makes the sensor very sensitive to all<br />
noises. Only the selected volume must be<br />
reached.<br />

The infrared sensor is plugged into the AssistX<br />
port of AssistX Call, AssistX Mobil or ClickMan<br />
via a 3.5mm jack plug.<br />
AssistX IR one is a sensor that responds to<br />
infrared signals. When a specific IR code (4<br />
addresses can be set) is received, a switching<br />
function is sent to the AssistX port, whereupon<br />
AssistX Call resp. AssistX Mobil triggers a call.<br />
Therefore, AssistX IR one is an ideal extension<br />
for infrared adaptive environmental control<br />
devices.<br />
AssistX IR one is self-monitoring and triggers via<br />
the AssistX port in the event of a failure.<br />
AssistX IR one is magnetic at the bottom of the<br />

AssistX RX one is a sensor that responds to radio<br />
signals from Easywave transmitters. Upon receipt<br />
of a taught-in radio command, a switching function<br />
is sent to the AssistX port, whereupon AssistX<br />
Call triggers a call.<br />
Therefore, AssistX RX one is an ideal extension<br />
for Easywave controlled environments.<br />
AssistX RX one is self-monitoring and, in the<br />
event of a failure, triggers a fault detection via the<br />
AssistX port.<br />
AssistX RX one is magnetic at the bottom of the<br />

Hy-Pneumax<br />
Sip-puff-switch for hygienic<br />
requirements<br />
Hy-PneuMax is a sip-puff-switch that meets the<br />
high hygienic requirements in hospitals and is easy<br />
to use and to maintain. The field of application is<br />
mainly in hospitals and nursing homes, with<br />
contaminated patients and changing users.<br />
Mouthpiece, air hose and hygienic filter (99.9%<br />
bacteria filter) can be replaced easily as a matter of<br />
routine.<br />
Hy-PneuMax was tested and approved by a<br />
renowned specialist hospital in the day-to-day<br />
operation.<br />
The Hy-PneuMax tripod can be placed universally<br />
next to the nursing bed or wheelchair and can be<br />
operated from there. The stability against<br />
accidental overturning is greatly increased by a<br />
stabilizing weight.<br />
The Hy-PneuMax hinged bracket can be mounted<br />
universally and simply with its special clamp on<br />
table edges, table legs or frame tubes of bed or<br />
wheelchairs. The positioning of the 3 joints is firmly<br />
fixed by a handle.<br />
The pressure settings for blowing and sucking are<br />
separately adjustable by two adjusting screws. This<br />
can also trigger a nurse call with a very weak<br />
sucking or blowing.<br />
A corresponding S-CON 2 adapter (see page ) or<br />
AssistX Call (see page 16) must be used for<br />
connection to a call system.<br />
Hy-PneuMax can also be safely used with<br />

ProX 2<br />
Non-contact proximity<br />
switch in the stand-alone<br />
version<br />
ClickMan ProX2 is a non-contact proximity<br />
switch in the stand-alone version.<br />
The actual proximity sensor is integrated in a<br />
flexible tube. This makes a perfect positioning of<br />
the sensor on the patient very easy.<br />
In order to trigger a switching function, it is<br />
sufficient to reach the immediate proximity of<br />
the sensor with the hand, a finger or another<br />
part of the body. As a result, the force required<br />
for an actuation is reduced to a minimum.<br />
In addition, intelligent operating aids such as an<br />
anti-tremor filter or a minimum contact time can<br />
be activated by means of PC software.<br />
The sensor is electronically monitored and is<br />
equipped with an ejection alarm. As an<br />
acknowledgment to an operation, an acoustic<br />
and optical signal is set as standard for the<br />
patient.<br />
Due to the integrated lithium polymer battery,<br />
the ClickMan ProX2 is very flexible and can<br />
also be used for mobile applications.<br />
A corresponding S-CON 2 adapter (see page ) or<br />

Which switches for which purpose?<br />
Choosing the proper switch is very important because it represents the interface between<br />
human being and the devices to be controlled and has to be operable as optimally as<br />
possible. This includes the manner and power of the actuation as well as the position.<br />
As a rule, push-buttons require actuating by a hand (finger) or, in rare cases, by foot or<br />
head. In these cases, the actuating force and correct position (on tripod, protection<br />
against slipping) is important.<br />
In many cases, an approximation sensor (e. g. ProX2) is a good solution. Such a sensor<br />
can be optimally positioned by means of a tripod and a flexible arm and can be activated<br />
practically without force even by very small movements (head movement, finger<br />
movement).<br />
Pneumatic sensor switches such as the Hy-Pneumax are always useful when movements<br />
are not possible or hardly possible, but sucking and/or blowing into a small mouthpiece. A<br />
typical use is with people with a severe spinal paralysis. The necessary pressure can be<br />
adjusted and two functions can be triggered.<br />
Hygiene, especially in hospitals, is ensured, especially when using the proximity sensors,<br />
but also in the case of the product Hy-Pneumax because all relevant components are<br />
interchangeable.<br />

Sip-Puff Sensor Switch Pneumax<br />
AssistX AS one Connection Set<br />
The pneumatic module Pneumax is used for the<br />
universal control of environmental control<br />
devices by people who can no longer operate<br />
mechanical switches because of their handicap.<br />
A 3.5 mm stereo jack plug is available as a<br />
connection. The switching contacts can be used<br />
as either normally closed or normally open<br />
contacts. The sensitivity is adjusted by two<br />
adjusting screws. By turning the adjusting<br />
screws, the normally open contact becomes a<br />
normally closed contact. The Pneumax is<br />
attached to the respective devices by means of<br />
an optionally available pipe mounting.<br />

An acoustic sensor that listens for human sounds.<br />
With the acoustic sensor AS one, physically<br />
disabled persons can reliably trigger a distress call,<br />
without contact and movement. The wide range of<br />
settings makes it possible to adapt the acoustic<br />
sensor very well to the user’s needs. Ambient<br />
noise is effectively filtered out. AS one can be set<br />
to human tones of different volume, sound<br />
frequency range and duration. In addition, a special<br />
pulse mode can be set for severely impaired users.<br />
The set includes the AssistX Connect Box and a<br />
USB-power supply. The acoustic sensor AS one is<br />
sourced by the Connect Box. An activation of the<br />
acoustic switch will result a contact (NO or NC) at<br />
the output connector of AssistX Connect box. All<br />
together the set makes the AssistX AS one an<br />
independent switch to control any device who<br />
needs a single switch to control.<br />
Mode of Operation: The sensor responds to<br />
noise of a certain frequency and volume, which is<br />
maintained for a certain period of time. Optionally,<br />
a pulse mode can be set for particularly impaired<br />
users, which makes the sensor very sensitive to all<br />
noises. Only the selected volume must be reached.<br />
Sound Mode: The pitch of the acoustic signal to<br />
trigger the sensor can be taught in. The tolerance<br />
for sensitivity and frequency as well as the duration<br />
of the sound can be adjusted. The acoustic sensor<br />
can be triggered with all sounds up to the pitch of a<br />
whistle. The most reliable triggering is achieved<br />
with a sonorous humming sound “Mmmmm”.<br />
Pulse mode: For heavily impaired users, who<br />
can only keep a very short sound, the acoustic<br />
sensor can be switched to the pulse mode.<br />
The sensor then responds to all noise pulses<br />
(clicking the tongue etc.), which reach the<br />
adjusted volume.<br />
Technical Data:<br />
•Magnetic housing base for fixing to metal<br />
strips / iron pipes or the optional wall fastening<br />
panel.<br />
•Measures 51x51x26mm<br />

ClickMan<br />
Adaptive multicontroller for single<br />
sensors/switches<br />
hand or another body part. Thanks to its integrated<br />
lithium-polymer battery, the device is also very<br />
flexible for mobile applications.<br />
•Desired switching behavior of the switching<br />
contacts (pulse, changeover switch, push-button,<br />
double-click)<br />
ClickMan is an adaptive multicontroller for<br />
single sensors/switches with two multifunctional<br />
potential-free switching outputs, one of which<br />
can be used as an normally closed or normally<br />
open contact. This makes it possible to use<br />
ClickMan as a triggering device on luminous/<br />
nurse call systems with quiescent current and<br />
cable break monitoring. Due to the enormous<br />
variety of settings (by PC software) almost<br />
every desired switching behaviour can be<br />
produced at the switching outputs.<br />
The sensor input can be equipped with an antitremor<br />
filter and an ejection alarm.<br />
In multi-mode, you can switch between up to 5<br />
individually configurable switching modes with a<br />
long or double click. This allows, for example, a<br />
parallel operation of environmental control<br />
device and luminous call system in a simple<br />
manner.<br />
An acoustic and optical signal can be set as an<br />
acknowledgement to the operator. ClickMan<br />
becomes the ProX 2 by using an optionally<br />
available capacitive proximity sensor. The<br />
proximity sensor is plugged into the ClickMan<br />
by means of a 3.5 mm jack plug and then can be<br />
used like a customary single-button sensor. In<br />
order to trigger a switching function, it is<br />
sufficient to come close to the sensor with the<br />
•Any single sensors/switches such as PikoButton<br />
or PikoButton NC can be used for quiescent or<br />
working current and proximity sensor (ProX2 set)<br />
•Suitable for mobile applications due to lithiumpolymer<br />
battery.<br />
•Cable break and function monitoring of the sensor<br />
possible with configurable call switching<br />
•Safety thanks to battery and system monitoring<br />
(watchdog) with call switching<br />
•2 potential-free switching contacts available on<br />
one jack plug each<br />
•A switching contact can be used and configured<br />
as a normally open contact and / or normally<br />
closed contact.<br />
•This allows the ClickMan to be used as a<br />
triggering device for luminous and nurse call<br />
systems with quiescent current and cable break<br />
monitoring. Second switching contact for parallel<br />
operation of environmental control units.<br />
•Thanks to the intuitive configuration software (for<br />
Microsoft Windows), the full functionality<br />
including response and switching behaviour can<br />
be adapted to the user at the PC.<br />
•Individually adjustable anti-tremor filter (response<br />
time and duration can be adjusted continuously)<br />
•Dual or multiple functions applicable (for example,<br />
for triggering a nurse call and parallel operation of<br />
the environmental control, switchable / toggling<br />
by configurable double or long click).<br />

Connections for control elements<br />
Control elements with one or two functions are usually connected by<br />
means of a jack plug with 3.5 mm diameter. The mono plug serves to<br />
connect control elements with one function (e. g. push-button like Piko<br />
button), the stereo plug for those with two functions (e. g. Pneumax for<br />
sip and puff).<br />
Control elements with 5 or more functions (e. g. Mini-Joystick) are<br />
frequently connected by means of a so-called 9-pin DSUB plug. The<br />
control element always features the female plug.<br />
SwitchMouse V2 USB<br />
The SwitchMouse is plugged into the computer<br />
instead of a normal mouse. The individual<br />
directions of movement of the normal mouse are<br />
simulated by a joystick (or another multi-sensor),<br />
which is plugged into the SwitchMouse. Instead of<br />
moving the mouse, the corresponding sensor<br />
(right, left, etc.) is actuated. The keys of a normal<br />
mouse are replaced by individual sensors or by the<br />
acknowledgement button of the joystick (if<br />
available).<br />
The SwitchMouse is a further development of the<br />
INCAP SwitchMouse.<br />
Connection to MAC or PC<br />
The SwitchMouse is connected directly to a USB<br />
port on your computer. It is recognized<br />
automatically, installation of drivers is not<br />
necessary for normal operation. Connections of<br />
single sensors (e.g., push-buttons) and joystick.<br />
A 9-pin D-SUB connector for the connection of a<br />
joystick and eight lateral jacks for the connection of<br />
single sensors with a 3.5 mm jack plug are<br />
attached to the SwitchMouse.<br />
The joystick's acknowledgement button<br />
corresponds to a mouse click of the left mouse<br />
button. The four left jacks can be used for the four<br />
directions instead of the joystick. The four right<br />
jacks correspond to the following mouse key<br />
functions:<br />
•Left mouse click<br />
•Click and drag (left mouse button)<br />
•Double-click left<br />
•Right mouse key<br />
