Post-Installation Test Procedure

Below you can find a post-installation test procedure to ensure the sensor's basic functionality is maintained. Here is an overview of the process.

Testing falls

  • Perform test falls in every room with every device.
  • Ensure only one person is in the room during the test to avoid cancellation of the fall detection.
  • Follow the procedure:
    • From a standing position, lie flat on the ground.
  • Stay on the ground for approximately 90 seconds:
    • Vayyar:
      • First 45 seconds: LED flashes (if enabled).
      • Next 45 seconds: LED flashes rapidly and the device emits a beeping sound (if enabled).
      • After 90 seconds: the device sends an calling event to the cloud which sends a notification (mail, SMS message, phone call, push notification).
    • NOVA-C:
      • After 60 seconds: the device sends an calling event to the cloud which sends a notification (mail, SMS message, phone call, push notification).
    • Ensure a clear line of sight to the device during the fall.

Testing presence

  • Enter the room and remain stationary for several minutes.
  • Verify that the device detects presence within a reasonable time frame (typically under 5 minutes).

Troubleshooting

If any issues arise during testing, do the following:

  • Check power and Wi-Fi connectivity.
  • Ensure the sensor is properly mounted and unobstructed.
  • Check the room configuration and measurement.
  • Vayyar: Follow remediation steps for offline sensors or flashing LED indicators.

Pilot Testing

During a pilot phase, conduct several test falls at different positions and times to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the sensor.

Vayyar: Use Test Mode to avoid false positives during testing.
