Fitting sensors

Before fitting the five sensors, please ensure you have the following items;

5 x Wearable sensors
1 x Silicone sensor housings clips
2 x Velcro Elbow Bands
1 x Elastic Head strap
2 x Velcro Neck Straps (Medium and Large - please select correct sized neck strap)
1 x Velcro/Elastic Waist strap (and extender)

We recommend using our tested Etiscope straps for your assessments, however we have included an alternative option for the neck and waist that can be used if needed.  If using an alternative method please ensure that the sensors are not attached to any loose fitting clothing. The sensors should be secured in their assigned holders or straps with the blue light visible and positioned at the top.

Step 1. Fit Lower Back Sensor

There are two options for attaching the Lower Back Sensor.

Option A (recommended): Insert the Lower Back sensor into the pocket of the velcro/elastic waist strap, and fit the waist strap around your waist.

Option B: Insert the Lower Back sensor into one of the provided clips, and attach the clip to the back of your belt.

*Align the sensor with your spine, so that it sits snuggly against the lower middle section of your back. Alternatively, if you are getting on and off a seat (such as operating a forklift) locate the lower back sensor at the side i.e. at the left or right hip to avoid it being dislodged.

Step 2. Fit Arm Sensors

Hold the arm strap with the buckle at the top and insert the Left arm sensor into the pocket of the Arm strap so that the light is at the top, facing towards the buckle.

Tighten the strap just above your elbow. The sensor should be facing away from your body and the sensor light should be facing towards the back of your arm.

Repeat the process with the Right arm sensor.

Step 3. Fit Upper Back Sensor

Insert the Upper Back sensor into the pocket of the velcro Neck strap, and fit the upper back strap around your neck with the pocket placed under your clothing.

*Align the sensor with your spine and so that it sits against the top of your back.

*The Upper back sensor should be placed under your clothing.

Step 4. Fit Head Sensor

There are two options for attaching the Head Sensor.

Option A (recommended): Attach the Head sensor to the back of the velcro Head strap. Fit the Head strap around your head so that the strap goes across the middle of your forehead and the sensor is facing away from the back of your body.

Option B: Insert the Head sensor into one of the provided clips and attach the clip to the back of your hat, cap or helmet.

*Check that the head and and back sensors are aligned with your spine.
