Not only can it automatically detect a fall but it can also be used to detect stumbles, trips or recovered falls. If a fall is detected the unit will enter a pre-alarm state indicated by fast beeps and a green flashing LED. If the unit is not returned to the vertical position during the pre-alarm period, an emergency alarm call will be made via an At Home Alarm Unit or Advent xt Grouped System. This results in a flashing red LED on the fall detector.

Where a stumble or a trip is detected, the unit logs this information to either a SayPhone 21 At Home Alarm unit or an Advent xt Grouped System. The data can then be accessed and analysed using Tynetec's Altera Care Software. This can then be used to look for early intervention opportunities that can ultimately lead to a reduction in emergency hospital admissions.

The Advent XT2 is a grouped living alarm and communication system that consists of a resident intercom that links directly to an onsite scheme manager’s handset or to an offsite alarm receiving centre (ARC).

For those customers who require a building wide door entry system, the Advent XT2 can be configured as a combined alarm and door entry system, reducing the need for two separate systems and therefore reducing infrastructure costs.

A modern design of speech module that delivers a simple, clear and concise user interface providing both door entry and assisted living functionality.

In addition to providing a means of simple and effective communication between a resident and onsite or offsite responder, the combined intercom allows a resident to control door entry functions without the need for a separate system or handset.

A standard speech unit and separate telephone handset option could be deployed in place of the combined speech module if preferred.

The Reach plus at-home alarm unit incorporates all of the fantastic features of the Reach unit but with the addition of a built in real time clock. This enables the unit to be used for activity monitoring across a number of timed periods. The unit can also be used as a medication reminder and accepts up to 16 user recordable messages. For the service provider who feels the need to call their clients on a daily basis, the Reach plus incorporates an I'm OK function which allows the service user to acknowledge that they don't require a call by simply pressing the green button on the unit within a pre-programmed time period. The Reach plus is also compatible with all of the latest alarm receiving centres.

The Advent xt is the market leading grouped alarm and communication system.

The intercom allows residents to speak to an on-site manager or call through to an off-site alarm receiving centre. Designed with its environment in mind, the intercom is modern in style with simple functional buttons. It offers exceptional speech quality so that the resident and manager can communicate clearly at all times.

A manager’s handset can be used to carry out the majority of the day-to-day functions.

A digital communicator enables the system to operate on both analogue and digital IP communication infrastructures.

The new Tynetec Reach, at home alarm unit brings together the most sophisticated electronic solutions with cutting edge design, functional ergonomics and customer flexibility.

Not only does the Tynetec Reach offer a huge selection of features and benefits such as compatibility with all the latest monitoring centres and the facility to accept up to 32 telecare devices as standard, but the Reach is also being offered in a choice of Black or White units for ultimate customer satisfaction.

NOTE: 5 year return to base warranty.

The Advent xt system can be expanded by adding a fully integrated door entry facility with dual speech paths to ensure that the door entry operation does not interrupt alarm handling. The addition of the door entry system enables the combined installation costs to be kept to a minimum.

The system can be supplied as part of a combined intercom system or by utilising separate door entry handsets.
