Applied Communication Systems

Wireless technology has seen rapid growth recently, primarily because of it's simplicity and ease of use. Wireless emergency call systems use remote transmitters to send a call condition to the master station. The transmitters can be supervised or unsupervised by the master. We offer the TekTone TekCARE 500 and Tel-Trons' Companion One. The Companion One call system utilizes multiple receivers within a facility, whereas TekTone's TekCARE 500 system requires only one receiver at the head end. TekTone offers three levels of call; emergency, missing, and supervisory.

Typical TekCare 500 system components are:

NC501 Master Station Computer - The computer is the core component of the Tek-CARE500 system. One NC510 Receiver connected directly to the NC501 Master Station Computer will receive information from the transmitters in the field and input that information to the Tek-CARE500 master station computer.
NC511 Repeater - Repeaters extend the transmission range of transmitters (such as pendants and pull cord stations) and locators. An optional IH511 weatherproof repeater housing is available for indoor or outdoor use. The housing will hold a backup battery.
NC512 Locator - Locators are used to determine the approximate location of roaming transmitters, such as resident pendants. Locators are recommended for use in multi-story buildings where the resident might be somewhere other than their room. An optional IH511 weatherproof housing is available for indoor or outdoor locators. The housing will hold a backup battery.
NC365A Paging Transmitter/Control Unit - When connected directly to the NC501 Master Station Computer the paging transmitter enables automatic and manual staff paging (when used with NC397 Pagers).
NC397 Alphanumeric Pocket Pager - The pager receives automatic and manual paging messages from the Tek-CARE500 system, via the NC365A Paging Transmitter/Control Unit. It displays three lines of information like room number, resident name, and urgency of call.
SF501 Water-Resistant Single Button Call Transmitter - A latching pendant transmitter with attachable necklace and belt clip. When pushed, the SF501 pendant places an alarm signal that can be reset only by pressing the reset button on its reverse side.
SF502 Wall-Mounted Call Transmitter - The SF502 pushbutton transmitter places an alarm signal that can be reset only at the Tek-CARE500 NC501 Master Station Computer. It includes an attachable necklace for use as a portable transmitter.
SF505 Wireless Smoke Detector - The SF505 transmits an alarm signal when it is activated by smoke. The signal will reset automatically when the detector is clear of all smoke.
SF515 Passive Infra-Red Detector - The SF515 is a motion detector that is sensitive to moving heat (infrared radiation). It can be used as a check-in device or a security device by monitoring movement and activity.
SF520 Door/Window Egress Transmitter - Use to monitor door and window activity, and may be used as either NO or NC to allow for a variety of applications. Alarms are automatically reset when returned to normal state (such as the door or window shut).
SF525 Maintained NO Universal Contact Transmitter - Use with a maintained NO switch for a variety of applications. Alarms are automatically reset when returned to normal state.
SF526 Momentary NO Universal Contact Transmitter - Use with a momentary NO switch for a variety of applications. Alarms are automatically reset when returned to normal state.
SF527 Wireless Support Module with SF337C Waterproof Emergency Pull Cord Switch - Use in showers and bathrooms or anywhere a high priority call is desired. Alarms must be reset at point of origin.
The SF531 Wireless Emergency Call station features the great range and reliability of 900MHz signaling. This unit can be wall mounted near any resident location for call placement (stainless steel and other metal fixtures may interfere with the signal transmission). Calls are latched locally to ensure that residents receive direct staff attention. The device includes a call assurance LED. The SF531 features a fully supervised RF link to ensure reliability and to monitor battery state. The battery is a customer replaceable 3V lithium.
The SF529 Wireless Assistance Call & Resident Check- In station features the great range and reliability of 900MHz signaling. This unit can be wall mounted near any resident location for call placement (stainless steel and other metal fixtures may interfere with the signal transmission). Calls are latched locally to ensure that residents receive direct staff attention. The device includes a call assurance LED. Check-ins are placed by pressing the Check-In push button during set check-in times. The SF529 features a fully supervised RF link to ensure reliability and to monitor battery state. The battery is a customer replaceable 3V lithium,
SF530 Single Patient Station - Use where call cord usage is desired. Alarms must be reset at point of origin.
IH511 Weatherproof Housing - Provides indoor or outdoor mounting of an NC511 Repeater or an NC512 Locator, plus a BA510 Backup Battery.
IH527 Surface-Mount Single-Gang Plastic Back Box for SF527/SF337C and SF528/ SF340B Emergency Switch assemblies. Use to flush mount, it is a plastic box that does not interfere with RF signals.
