Alerta Wireless Transmitter, Universal Sensor Link for Wireless Fall Prevention Systems
- Universal wireless transmitter for all Alerta Alertamat fall prevention sensors including Bed, Chair, Deluxe Carpet, Floor Plus, WetSense Bed and Chair Alertamats and the Crash Mat, transmitting sensor alerts to the paired Alerta Wall Point Receiver at up to 95 metres via exclusive 433MHz radio frequency pairing that responds only to the matched receiver.
- Adjustable delay of 0, 2 or 4 seconds for Bed and Chair Alertamats prevents false alerts from normal in-bed or in-seat repositioning without missing genuine exit events, reducing alarm fatigue that CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) identifies as a falls governance risk when monitoring equipment generates excessive false alarms that erode staff responsiveness.
- Built-in low battery warning light and audible triple beep alerts care staff that battery replacement is required before power interruption affects monitoring continuity, supporting CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) equipment maintenance documentation that shows continuous monitoring system operability for high-risk patients.
- Cable-free operation between sensor and transmitter reduces bedside trip hazards, with the transmitter connecting directly to the Alertamat sensor pad and transmitting wirelessly to the Wall Point Receiver, eliminating trailing cables that create fall hazards in the bedside environment the monitoring system is designed to protect.
Alerta Wireless Transmitter: Universal 95m RF Link for All Alerta Alertamat Fall Prevention Sensors
The Alerta Wireless Transmitter is the wireless connectivity component for the Alerta Alertamat fall prevention system, connecting any compatible Alerta sensor mat or device to the Alerta Wall Point Receiver at up to 95 metres range via exclusive 433MHz radio frequency pairing. The transmitter pairs exclusively with its registered receiver, preventing cross-interference in care environments where multiple Alerta systems are deployed in adjacent rooms. Adjustable delay settings of 0, 2 or 4 seconds for Bed and Chair Alertamats reduce false alerts from repositioning movements, and a built-in low battery warning (light indicator and triple beep) ensures monitoring continuity through proactive battery management.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requires that monitoring systems are maintained in effective operational order and that monitoring gaps are identified and addressed promptly. The Alerta Wireless Transmitter's low battery warning, visual indicator and audible triple beep, provides the proactive alert that enables battery replacement before a monitoring gap occurs, supporting the continuous monitoring requirement for high-risk patients. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) requires that equipment maintenance is documented: the transmitter's battery warning provides the maintenance trigger point that should be recorded in the care home's equipment maintenance log. The exclusive 433MHz pairing is a clinical governance feature: in care homes where multiple Alerta systems are deployed, cross-interference would cause monitoring gaps and false alerts, undermining fall governance. The exclusive pairing eliminates this risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Alerta Wireless Transmitter be paired with more than one Wall Point Receiver simultaneously?
No. The Alerta Wireless Transmitter pairs exclusively with a single Wall Point Receiver, a deliberate design feature that prevents a sensor in one room from triggering alerts on a receiver in an adjacent room. If a transmitter is paired to a second receiver, it will no longer communicate with the first. For situations where a single sensor must alert multiple receivers, check with the supplier for system configuration options. In most care settings, single-receiver pairing is the correct configuration: the Wall Point Receiver connects to the nurse call system which routes the alert to all appropriate staff devices simultaneously, providing site-wide alert distribution through the nurse call infrastructure.
How often should the transmitter batteries be replaced, and what battery type should be used?
The Alerta Wireless Transmitter uses 2x 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries. Battery life depends on alert frequency. In a typical care home monitoring environment with moderate alert frequency, transmitter batteries typically last several months of continuous operation. Replace batteries promptly when the warning light activates and the triple beep sounds, as the warning indicates the transmitter is approaching the power threshold below which reliable transmission cannot be guaranteed. Avoid rechargeable batteries, which have a lower nominal voltage of 1.2V compared with 1.5V for alkaline, which may reduce effective range or trigger the low battery warning prematurely.
