C. Install AED Sentinel in an AED Cabinet
These instructions describe how to install the AED Positioning Bracket, place the AED, and aim, attach and activate the AED Sentinel Monitoring Camera inside an AED cabinet. If you are installing the Camera in a Mobile Monitoring Case, proceed to section D.
Install the AED Positioning Bracket
The Positioning Bracket is attached to the inside of the AED cabinet to consistently secure the AED in a precise, repeatable location, ensuring its status indicator is always directly aligned with the Camera lens.
Note: For Defibtech AEDs, a different bracket is required. Contact Readiness Systems Support for more information.
Positioning Bracket Parts
Attach the LEFT and RIGHT Backplate Sections
Attach the LEFT Section
Remove the adhesive backing from the two-sided tape on the back of the LEFT backplate section.
Position the section against the back wall of the cabinet, with its left edge flush against the cabinet’s left wall and the bottom edge resting on the cabinet floor.
Press firmly to secure the adhesive to the back wall.
Attach the RIGHT Section
Remove the adhesive backing from the two-sided tape on the back of the RIGHT backplate section.
With its bottom edge resting on the cabinet floor, align the dovetail on the left side of the RIGHT section with the dovetail slot on the right side of the LEFT section already installed.
Insert the dovetail, then press firmly to secure the adhesive to the back wall.
IMPORTANT: Make sure each section is level and flat on the cabinet floor before pressing it into place.
Attach Positioning Bracket Arms
- Insert one arm into the single slot on the left side of the LEFT backplate section.
- Insert the second arm into one of four slots on the right side of the RIGHT backplate section based on the width of your AED. Refer to the following table for correct slot selection.
Place the AED
Place the AED inside the cabinet, centered between the positioning bracket arms
- Ensure there is nothing beneath, behind, or in front of the AED that could block its status indicator.
- Close the AED cabinet door
Attach the Camera to Inside of the Cabinet Door and Activate the Camera
Attach the AED Monitoring Camera to the Inside of the Cabinet Door
Find the Aiming Template in the AED Sentinel box. Follow the template’s instructions for aiming the AED Monitoring Camera and attaching it to the inside of the AED cabinet door. Place the round 2” diameter sticker on the front of the cabinet window over the Velcro coin.
Activate the AED Monitoring Camera
Open the cabinet door. Press and hold the AED Monitoring Camera’s activation button until you see the LED Status Light turn solid blue (about 3 seconds). Release the button and quickly close the cabinet door. The LED Status Light will then blink green during the activation process which will continue for up to 5 minutes. The LED Status Light will then show solid green for 15 seconds, then turn off, indicating success.
Log into AED Readiness Manager, navigate to your Monitored AED, and confirm the AED’s status indicator image was received and is centered in the picture.
If you see the LED status light turn solid red or blinking red, or encounter other issues, please contact support.
