John
Many thanks. Someone else had given me a contact off list & he has
proved very useful. I believe I need a "universal sensor", which sounds
as though it does exactly what you describe. I've even persuaded
Social Services to order it by fax - my problem now is that the supplier
has no stock! Frustrated at every turn!
BTW I am amazed at the number of people in the social care arena, who
have had no concept of how a person without the use of their limbs could
operate an alarm. Possum were accomplished at this 40 years ago.

Not sure what you actually mean by "interface to"; however, if you
simply
want to use the wireless network to transmit a signal that the user of
this
switch needs help / attention, then I would suggest that you consider
wiring
the switch into the Tunstall Radio Output Module. This device is a
Tunstall
transmitter in a box with two terminals for connection to the circuit
that
will trigger it and was designed to meet the need to connect third party
items into the Tunstall wireless network. If this is the type of
solution
that you are looking for, you should also be aware that the other
mainstream
manufacturers of telecare equipment have a similar product for use with
their systems.
If the above is not the type of solution that you are looking for and
the
contact provided by Emma Nichols can not assist you, I would be happy to
try
and find you the right contact inside Tunstall.

Dear all
Does anyone have a good route into Tunstall for tech info?
I'm trying to produce a special call switch (head movement) which needs
to
interface to the Tunstall wireless call system, installed at a
residential
home.
I think I'm slowly getting somewhere with their telecare help line, but
as
usual with requests for call switches, this is super-urgent.
