Description
The Drive Chair Sensor Pad Alarm is a complete fall-prevention alarm system for a chair: a pressure-sensitive pad that sits under the user, a monitor with two volume settings, and a 9V battery — everything included. When the user gets up, the alarm sounds until they sit back down or the unit is switched off.
- Complete system – chair pad, alarm monitor and 9V battery all included; nothing else to buy
- Sounds the moment pressure leaves – continuous alarm until the user returns or the unit is switched off
- Two volumes – 85 dB Low or 100 dB Hi, set for the room and the caregiver's distance
- Low-battery warning – an LED plus a beep every 30 seconds so the system is never silently dead
An Early Warning When a Chair User Tries to Rise
Most falls happen when someone who should not stand alone tries anyway. The pad goes on the chair seat under the cushion or the user; while they are seated, the system is silent. The moment their weight leaves the pad, the monitor alarms — continuously — giving a caregiver time to arrive before a fall. There is no reset button on this model: the alarm stops when the user is seated again or the monitor is switched off, which keeps anyone from silencing it and forgetting it.

Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the box?
The pressure-sensitive chair pad, the alarm monitor, and a 9V battery — a complete working system.
How does the alarm stop?
This model has no reset button. The alarm sounds continuously while the pad is unoccupied and stops when the user sits back down or the monitor is switched off.
How loud is it?
Two settings: 85 dB on Low and 100 dB on Hi. Choose Hi when the caregiver is in another room.
Where does the pad go?
On the chair seat, under the user (or under a thin cushion). Route the cord safely to the monitor so it cannot be tripped over or pinched.
How do I know the battery is dying?
The monitor lights a low-battery LED and beeps every 30 seconds. Replace the 9V battery then — or run it on Drive's optional 136DC AC adapter (not included).
What warranty does it carry?
The alarm monitor carries a 1 Year Limited warranty and the pad a 6 Month Limited warranty, per Drive.
