Add Inovonics Devices

Adding a Device

In order for the device to send readings to the GrandCare system, it must be configured on the system.

• Log in to the Online Care Portal
• Open the Care Menu
• Open the appropriate module

• For motion, door, and bed sensors, open the Activity module
• For action buttons, open the Notifications module
• For medication dispensers, open the Medication module

• Click the "Add New Device" button
• Enter a Location and Description for the device
• Select the proper device from the drop-down selection list
• Click the "Next" button
• Enter the device Serial Number (found on a sticker on the bottom of the device) - Enter the complete number, including any tiny numbers preceding the full-size numbers
• Click the "Finish" button
  
  

Note: Some motion sensors have a setting jumper in them for FIX/VAR mode. If that's the case, set the jumper to FIX. This sets a fixed 180-second check-in time with the antenna, which works best with the system software. Note: For large installations with substantial distance between the sensor and transceiver, you can boost the signal with a repeater. See the Supported Hardware List for supported models.
