CareGard® is an emergency notification system that includes a control panel and a panic sensor worn as a pendant or watch. The panel controls all functions, processes signals from sensors, and reports emergencies through the phone line. Sensors can be used throughout the installation site to activate the emergency notification system, monitor environmental conditions, warn of fire or carbon monoxide, and check activity.
The CareGard control panel allows up to 24 wireless sensors to be added to the system. CareGard also supports GE Security repeaters that expand the range of the wireless sensors. Forty-three programmable options allow you to customize the system to each installation environment.
Optional factory programming saves installation and training time. Using remote telephone control, you can listen in, talk, or have a two-way conversation. The panel voice aids in programming and system operation. CareGard can be a monitored system that sends messages to a central monitoring system using SIA or Contact ID (CID) formats or to a numeric pager carried by a designated user. CareGard can monitor AC power, the backup battery, and the sensors. Built-in two-way voice capability with VOX (voice-activated switching) provides emergency contact with the central monitoring station.
The panel can report emergencies to an additional land line phone location or cellular phone using Voice Event Notification with instant two-way voice. CareGard’s options, phone numbers, and account numbers can be factory programmed for effortless installation. Although the factory settings allow CareGard to perform well in a variety of situations, customized system programming can be performed onsite using the built-in touchpad or the quick program button on the back of the panel.
