Planning a wireless nurse call system - required components
Planning a wireless nurse call system is relatively simple. How many rooms require a nurse call point? How many bathrooms and toilets do you have that require an alarm? How many nurse call alarm station display units do you require ( one per floor recommended)? Do you require bed or chair sensors to detect wanderers or people at risk from falls?
All systems are manufactured under strict quality control see certification.
BTXV-02 BED HEAD CALL POINT TRANSMITTER
The BTXV-NCT is a nurse call point transmitter that signals the CMU-02 nurse call display. The transmitter can operate from battery only or with an optional AC power adaptor. A bed call switch with a 3M lead plugs into the transmitter. The transmitters feature a simple ID code setup that is sent to the CMU-02 to signal room or ward number and bed number.
Transmitter case dimensions H 115mm W 75mm D 20mm. Case material ABS. Wall fixing lugs on rear of case. Transmission frequency 433.92 mHz. Range 100M (open field). Power requirement 9V PP3 or mains 12V DC power adaptor. Low battery warning sound + flashing LED. Built in nurse call assistance button, alarm call reset button.
CENTRAL MONITOR NURSE CALL DISPLAY
The Central Monitor will receive and display signals from all patient call devices; washroom pull cord transmitters, bed head call point transmitters, bed and chair occupancy sensors, wristband transmitters and DoorWatcher anti-wander systems. When activated by a patient call, the CMU-02 produces an audible tone alarm with volume adjustment. The display will indicate the type of transmitter, toilet, bed head etc, with backlit display. The monitor also displays with audible alarm the condition of the system, radio interference problems, low battery warnings for all devices, missing or broken items. Any number of CMU-02’s can be used in a system. One per floor or area is recommended.
The CMU-02 is powered by 12V DC power adaptor with battery backup provided by 4 x D cell batteries. Dimensions: H 205 mm x W 145mm x D 42mm.
Pull Cord Transmitter: (WCP-02
For bathroom, toilets and lounge areas. 85mm x 85mm x 10mm Powered by sealed in Lithium battery with a service life of five years. Reassurance LED lights to confirm operation to user. Fitted with 3M red pull cord with pull triangles. RF power 4mW max, narrow band digital transmission for maximum range and reliability. Range 25M. 100% waterproof making it suitable for bath-side or shower room fixing.
Wireless Reset Button: (WRE-02)
Required to reset WCP-02 pull cord transmitter. 85mm x 85mm x 10mm. Powered by sealed in Lithium battery with a service life of five years. Reassurance LED lights to confirm operation to user. RF power 4mW max, range 25M.
ILB-03 SIGNAL REPEATER WITH VISUAL AND AUDIBLE ALARM
The ILB-03 is a combined wall mounting audible-visual alarm with built in signal repeater. This dual function device re-transmits all data at higher signal levels to the CMU-02. The WRE-02 and WCP-02 bathroom transmitters may require a signal repeater as they are lower power than the call point transmitters.
Where a repeater panel is required in another area of the building the ILB-03 can be used as a general alarm for a group of rooms or patients, saving the requirement of a nurse call display for that area. Powered by 4 x D cell batteries.
VOICE CALL POINT ANNOUNCEMENT PAGER
The PAG-02 is a lightweight pager with call display that also speaks call point identification numbers independently of the Central Monitor. The pager has a volume button for high or low volume. When a call point is pushed, or bed or chair sensor triggers the BTXV-NCT transmitter, the pager will announce the room or bed number. Note, the pager does not allow for zone location, IE: 00 for ground floor it will only announce the two digit room or bed numbers. Powered by 2 x AA batteries. Dimensions: W 80mm H 58mm D 18mm. Weight including batteries 116g. Simple low cost paging solution.
