Dome Light
The Dome Light includes two different banks of indicator lights: white normal call
indicator light and red emergency call indicator lights.
• Emergency Calls—Emergency calls are indicated by steady illumination of the red
Dome Light associated with the zone or area from which an emergency call has
been placed.
• Normal Calls—Normal calls are indicated by steady illumination of the white Dome
Light associated with the zone or area from which a normal call has been placed.
• Concurrent Emergency and Normal Calls—If an emergency and normal call are placed
at the same time, the red light connected to the emergency station from which a call was
placed will illuminate at the same time as the white light associated with the normal call.
Transceivers
A transceiver is a device that periodically transmits a signal containing data to uniquely identify it from other
transceivers. Additionally, transceivers can receive data back. The transceiver devices listed in this section are
supported by the 9600 Series Wireless Call System running the Series 7.0 Software application. The 9600
Series Wireless Call System includes transceivers that are carried by the patient and fixed devices. A fixed
device is a stationary device that is assigned to a room or a unit. Fixed devices are not transported with the
patient but stay in the unit to which they are assigned.
The transceiver devices are entered into the system by placing the device into an alarming state. The system
senses the device when the device goes into alarm and adds it to the device list in the Configuration-Device
window (refer to the Series 7.0 System Administrator Guide). The user must then update the device
information; for example, give the device a name and/or enable features.
Pull Cord
A Pull Cord is usually mounted on the wall. This device is used to request staff
assistance and is commonly used in bedrooms and bathrooms. It is suitable for use
in close proximity to showers or baths; however to prevent damage, avoid any
submersion.
An Assistance Required alarm event is reported in the Event List when a patient
pulls a cord. The Pull Cord is supervised; a routine signal is sent from the
transceiver and if the signal is not received by the system, a Device Fault event is
generated in the Event List at the computer. Pull Cords are powered by a
replaceable 3-volt battery.
