Posey Sitter Elite® - Manual (Page 17)

Sitter Elite 17
Connecting to AC Power (Optional)
The Posey Sitter Elite is equipped with a DC jack to allow you to use AC power to power
the alarm when the 8345AC is ordered (includes AC power adapter). To ensure proper alarm
function and to prevent damage to the alarm, only use the AC power adapter supplied by
Posey.
To Connect to AC Power:
1. Connect the AC power adapter to the Sitter Elite (fig. 19).
2. Plug the other end into the wall.
3. Connect a sensor to the alarm.
NOTE: The Posey Sitter Elite will accept both alkaline or rechargeable batteries. However,
connecting the alarm to AC power does not charge the rechargeable batteries. This is a safety
feature to prevent potential battery damage if the wrong type of batteries are inserted while
the alarm is connected to AC power.
Only use the Posey AC power adapter to power your alarm. Using an
adapter other than the Posey adapter may damage the alarm and void the warranty. To
obtain a replacement power adapter order Cat. RP8383.
If power is interrupted, the alarm will not function. There is no alarm at bedside or nurse
call station.
If AC power is off for more than four (4) minutes, the alarm settings will revert to factory
default.

Note: If you are using the Posey AC Power Adapter to power your alarm and the adapter is
accidentally unplugged from the wall socket, the alarm will not operate - even if there are also
batteries in the alarm. If the adapter is unplugged from AC power adapter receptacle and there
are working batteries in the alarm, the alarm will then operate on battery power.
