Pull Cords/Emergency Call
A Pull Cord is 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 check in message 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 Cord with Check In
A Pull Cord with Check In enables the staff or patient to push a green button to check-in.
Pressing the green button indicates to the system that the patient has checked in or been visited
by staff. The type of check-in depends on how your Pull Cord with Check In is configured
(refer to the applicable Series Software Administrator Guide). For various types of check in see
below.
Check-in types
 Patient Check In—A patient pushes the button to notify the staff that he/she is awake and
does not require assistance.
 Staff Check In—A staff member pushes the check-in button once they have checked on a
patient.
 Staff Care Complete—A staff member pushes the check-in button in response to an
Assistance Required alarm once the patient has been checked on and the alarming device is
reset. If Joint Commission is enforced, this will clear the White alarm from the Client
computer
Mount the Call Stations
The QR Premiere Call stations are surface mounted. A height of 48 inches is standard, however;
mounting heights may vary. Before mounting to the wall, pull the plastic battery tabs to activate the
battery pack.
1. Using the rear plate of the call station as a template, place it level against the wall at the desired
mounting height and mark the location of the two mounting holes.
NOTE: For Pull Cords, determine the desired length of the red Pull Cord string. The standard
length of a Pull Cord strings is six feet long. However, as mounting heights vary, the length of the
string may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the length of the Pull Cord string:
 Gently pop the red alarm lever free from the enclosure and remove the string.
 Cut the string to the desired length and rewind it on the alarm lever in the reverse order it was
removed. There are instructions printed on the side of the red alarm lever for assistance in
winding the string.
 Press the red alarm lever back onto the enclosure and route the pull cord string through the
small slit in the bottom corner of the enclosure.
