Equipment Overview
Introduction
This chapter provides equipment overviews of the devices supported by the system and device supervision.
The supervision feature applies to many devices such as the Alarming Band Transmitters, Pendants, Fall
Monitoring and Incontinence devices. A supervised device is the system’s way of ensuring that devices are
communicating properly and within range of the receivers. This chapter also provides details of the Central
Server and Client computers used to run the software as well as Messaging and Walkie-Talkie information.
Central Server and Client Computers
The Central Server is a Windows based computer that runs the software. It contains the database and
provides communication with devices in the system as well as the Client computer(s).
Depending on your configuration, the system can include several Client computers. The Client computers
allow the user to perform such functions as admitting, discharging, and authorizing transfers and escorts.
Each Client computer includes a touchscreen monitor that displays alarms as they occur on a floor plan of the
facility.
The Central Server can be located in any area such as the nurse’s central station or security office. It must be
located near a dedicated analog phone line or broadband connection to allow for remote Technical Support
access when requested by the customer. Each Client computer must be located in a secure area that can be
accessed by staff to enter and retrieve information.
Quick Look Display
The Quick Look Display shows information from the system at remote locations such
as a secondary nurse’s station. When a Red alarm is issued from the system, it is
received through the Quick Look Interface. The type of alarm (Cut Band, Door,
Check), location of the alarm and the transmitter ID are displayed on a large, easy-to-
read 2 x 20 Character Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFDs). As new alarms occur,
they appear immediately; the display then begins scrolling through each active alarm.
For more information about the Quick Look Display, see the Quick Look Display and
Interface Installation Guide (0510-1007).
WA R N I N G: When installing the Central Server, proper placement/mounting of the
server is important. Adequate precautions must be taken to prevent the server from
falling, causing injury to persons. Cables must be routed in a way to prevent tripping
hazards.
Any rack mounted Central Server must be install in a controlled environment that
maintains temperature between 50°F and 95°F and humidity between 20% and 50%.
