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.

What’s in the Box
• 2 pan head screws
• 2 plastic anchors
• 2 squares of two-sided tape
• 1 two-pin jumper
• 1 OEM installation sheet
Select the Frequency Band
The NC505ES Remote LCD Receiver can use a range of
radio frequencies, and must be configured for your
geographic area. T o configure the receiver:
1. Place a selection jumper on the appropriate frequency
band selection pins. (See Figure 2.)
Please note: The NC505ES requires a PK505 transformer,
ordered separately. Please verify that all power supplies are
available before installation.
Features
• Six onboard Type C relay outputs for N/O or N/C operation.
• Jam detection monitors all channels for interference.
• A reset terminal is provided in the receiver to allow external
receiver resets.
• A tamper terminal is provided in the receiver to allow external
tamper monitoring.
• Add up to 16 EchoStream transmitters.
• Two-line text display.
Chapter 2—Installation
Mounting
Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the receiver in
a location accessible for future maintenance. Caution: Mount
the receiver in a location removed from metal. Metal objects
(duct work, wire mesh screens, boxes) will reduce the reception
range.
• Leave the jumper off the pins to set the frequency
range to 902–928 MHz for North America. Note:
North America is also selected when the jumper is
attached to only one pin. This prevents the jumper
from being lost when selecting North America.
• Place the jumper on the top two pins, marked AUS,
to set the frequency range to 915–928 MHz for
Australia.
• Place the jumper on the bottom two pins, marked NZ,
to set the frequency range to 921–928 MHz for New
Zealand.
2 . Cycle power to reset.
Connect Output and Input Cabling
Refer to Figure 2 for connection points.
1 . Connect cabling to the power loss output. The optional
power loss output is a normally closed (N/C) output that
reports power loss to an external device.
2. Connect cabling to the tamper output. The optional
tamper output is a normally open (N/O) output that
reports receiver case tamper to an external device.
Connections
Connect Power Cabling
Before beginning startup, connect power to the receiver:
1. Use a small screwdriver to press the three housing
release tabs on the top or bottom of the receiver and
separate the housing.
2. Connect power cabling to the Power (Vs) and GND
connections. (See Figure 2.)
3. Power source must be 11–14 VDC. Power supply must be
unswitched, uninterrupted, and regulated. Use TekTone
part number PK505.
3. Connect cabling to the jam output. The optional jam
output is a normally closed (N/C) output that opens when
noise thresholds on all transmission channels remain
above a predetermined value for more than 20 seconds.
4. Connect cabling to the reset input. The optional reset
input circuit permits installation of a remote momentary
normally open (N/O) switch to clear faults, unlatch relay
outputs and reset the receiver to a normal state.
5 . Connect cabling to the output terminals. The NC505ES
provides six Form C relay outputs.
®
6 . Close the NC505ES receiver housing.
Field Wiring Examples
Figure 3 shows various uses of the relay outputs from the
NC505ES. Wire size should be no smaller than 22 gauge
and no larger than 18 gauge (due to housing space). Use 18
gauge cable to connect dome lights and the external power
supply.
