Chapter 1—Introduction

The NC505ES Remote LCD Receiver allows users of the
Tek-CARE®500 Wireless Emergency Call System to connect
external dome lamps and dialers to the system. This provides an
alternate annunciation path, in addition to the normal Tek­CARE®500 screen. The NC505ES is not dependent upon the T ek­CARE®500’s master station computer . It features 6 separate, dry­contact outputs that can be programmed for activation of up to 16
unit addresses (transmitters) on the T ek-CARE®500 system.

The NC505ES is programmed using its buttons and display , and
has an access code to safeguard completed programming. The
case has built-in tamper detection outputs for connection to an
external alarm system. All dry contact outputs are individually
configurable for latching, follower or momentary activation. The
NC505ES is designed for indoor use only , and cable access and
connections are hidden. The face of the unit features a clean
appearance with visual indication of the status of all 6 outputs.

About This Manual

This manual is designed to assist with installation of this
T ekTone product. Each component of the system is described
with step-by-step instructions to facilitate hardware installation
and software configuration.

1 . Although this is a low voltage unit, take care on wire

termination at transformer and mains line outlet.
2 . Remove power when installing cabling.
3 . Use ESD wrist strap when installing cables.

1. Use proper splicing techniques.
2 . Verify proper polarity of wires.
3 . Use protective eyewear when clipping leads.

Figure 1—NC505ES Remote LCD Receiver

In a facility with a T ek-CARE®500 wireless emergency call system,
the NC505ES Remote LCD Receiver may be used to activate a
local dialer or turn on a corridor dome light in response to a call.
Note: Central Monitoring is a feature of the Tek-CARE®500 system.

The NC505ES is configured locally to an area covering up to 16
transmitters and 6 relay outputs. Multiple units are used to
provide full coverage of a floor or building. The NC505ES
accepts transmissions only from transmitters, and does not
accept signals that are rebroadcast. Therefore the NC505ES
must be near the devices that it is to receive signals from.
