SpecificationsSpecifications

The on-site paging system transmitter/control
unit shall be Alpha Communicat ions® / TekTone

NC365B, or approved equal. It shall be

specifically configured to receive patient calls
from Alpha Communicat ions®'s NC300 (or

NC300II) Nurse Call Systems or TC500

Emergency-Call Systems, at a baud rate
of 9600. When used in c onjunction with any
system it shall transmit patient call information,
via radio UHF of 457.55 MHz, to the Alpha
Communications® NC397A Alphanumeric Pocket
Pager(s), at a baud rate of 1200. Information
such as c all type, room loc ation, and priority
level, shall be as indicated by t he NC350CP CPE
(software rev. 1.93.1 or higher) or NC351 /

NC351A / NC351A/2 CPE(s) and shall be

transmitted to pagers in its entirety.

When used with the NC110A / NC110N / NC150N
and/or NC200N nurse-c all systems t he NC365B
requires the NC377/32 and/or NC377/64 voltage
interface adapter(s).

The NC365B on-site paging syst em shall have a
transmitting range of up to one mile (depending
on results of site survey), and shall be used with
the NC397A (or equivalent) pocket pagers.

The NC365B shall be used with the optional
model# BA365K battery back up kit .

NC365B Paging System Transmitter/Control UnitNC365B Paging System Transmitter/Control Unit

The NC365B Transmitt er/Control Unit (on-site paging system) receives alphanumeric
messages and patient call information via serial interfac e and transmits t he
information direct ly to the NC397A pocket pagers. Information is sent to the
transmitter at 9600 baud to minimize bott lenecks. Call type and location are
determined by the system supplying information to the transmitter. The NC365B
Paging System Transmitter/Control Unit is pre-programmed for use with the Alpha
Communic at ions® NC300 (or NC300II) nurse-call syst ems, or TC500 emergency- c all
systems. T he Unit is designed for on site paging requirements only and not for long
range.

The range of the syst em will largely depend on the site and locat ion of the
transmitter unit. To determine the exact range and c overage of the transmitter, a
site survey must be done. Contact Alpha Communications® for details on site
surveys. For estimation purposes of a properly located NC365B, a range of up t o one
mile c an be expected (line of sight), under ideal conditions. See the instruct ion
manual for additional details. Other antennas and signal amplification options are
available to increase range, contac t Alpha Communic at ions®. Battery back-up also
available, by using the model# BA365K kit.
