If an Alarm or a Message is received by the unit, following information is displayed and
transmitted to connected peripherals:
– Identification of Alarm/Message;
– Floor number / room number / bed number or a single number;
– Date and time;
– Quality of received radio signal;
– Type of storage (Alarm or Event);
– Identification of the unit receiving the Alarm/Message (Main / Relay).
–Local position if Localization Mode is selected.
The attribution of a floor number / room number / bed number or a single number to a
Transmitter can be selected (0 to 254). The attribution is programmed in the NurseCall Main
Unit.
The radio receiving range is sufficient with the supplied antenna.
This range depends highly on the distance and the material of your building.
If you wish to improve your radio receiving range, two solutions can be offered:
1. Use of a remote high quality antenna.
2. Main - Relay connection of several Relay Units.
Further Receiver Units (Relay Units) can be connected using the RS485-Interface.
Maximum bus length: up to 1200 m.
IS76 Beacons with Ferrite Antennas or IS75 Beacons with wire loop should be installed on
doors or corridors in the building to be supervised. When passing one of these modules, the
Transmitter updates its current position. At Alarm triggering, the Transmitter does not only
transmit its identification (who sent the Alarm), but also the position of the last passed
module.
