System Operating Principle –———————————————

Each system uses a series of bus conductors to carry the operating and signaling voltage to the various units. In addition, each station capable of calling the master station has individual conductors between it and the master to give the station its own identity.

When a call button is depressed, switching circuits operate to light various call lights and to energize system call tone. All calls must be reset at the point of origin.

Emergency calls are signaled by a different flashing rate at the master station. An emergency call is indicated by an intermittent tone and flashing lights at approximately 1/3-second intervals. A normal call is indicated by a steady lamp and an intermittent tone at approximately 8-second intervals.

The T ek-CARE® NC110N Nurse Call System includes three basic units, each essential for operation. These will be discussed individually and are as follows:

• Power & Control Unit

• Master Station

• Call Stations

The use of these basic units, in conjunction with wiring, housings and auxiliary equipment, make up a complete system.

PK151A, PK152 Power & Control Units

The power & control unit utilizes a transformer which steps down the 120 VAC input to 24 V AC, 30 VA, which is then rectified, filtered and regulated to provide a stable 24 VDC for the rest of the system.

Control circuits are provided to detect the presence of normal or emergency calls and to provide steady or intermittent voltages to operate external devices with indications as follows:

Normal calls are indicated by a positive voltage applied to T erminal R by the calling remote station. Emergency calls are indicated by a positive voltage applied to terminal Q by the calling remote station.

PK800A Secondary Power Supply

The secondary power supply accepts a 24 VAC input from the SS100 transformer. It rectifies, filters and regulates a +24 VDC output, which is provided on the two terminals labeled “24 VDC.” A +5 VDC output is also available, but is not used in this application.

NC110N Master Stations

The Master Station includes:

• Buzzer for audible signals.

• Annunciator lamps for call indication.

• Additional operating controls, including tone off and tone test switches and additional emergency and normal call indicators.
