Installation Guide teleCARE IP 8 TD 93021US Rev A Wireless Functionality 8.1 General teleCARE IP with wireless functionality is intended for use in nursing homes and in assisted living facilities. teleCARE IP is able to support wireless functionality through the NICR3 teleCARE IP room controller combined with the NIRX transceiver, which is piggy-back mounted on the circuit board of the NIRC3. Figure 173.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP 8.2 TD 93021US Rev A Principle of the teleCARE IP with Wireless Functionality The system is configured using the teleCARE IP System Manager - NISM2. The wireless server is a Unite application on the NISM2 serving as the central controller for all wireless devices in the teleCARE IP system with wireless functionality.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A 8.2.1 Location Based Wireless Nurse Call Using LF Beacons The addition of the NILF low frequency beacons gives location based wireless functionality available including access control. The NILF will send out its ID, including location information, at regular intervals using a low frequency 125 kHz signal that will be picked up by the wireless transceiver modules that pass by the NILF. Figure 175.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A 8.2.2 Wireless Nurse Call with Speech Wireless transceivers can be used to generate calls to notify the staff that help is needed. These devices don't support speech themselves. To be able to set up a speech session with a person that initiated a wireless nurse call, the wired teleCARE IP speech modules are required.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A The table below shows the speech handling for wireless transceivers based on their static or dynamic location mode setting in combination with passive or active location beacons.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP 8.3 TD 93021US Rev A teleCARE IP Wireless Components 8.3.1 NIRX teleCARE IP Transceiver The NIRX transceiver is a printed circuit module which is piggy back mounted on the NIRC3 room controller and the NIFX fixed transceiver. Mounting the NIRX will add wireless nurse call functionality to the NIRC3 room controller and the fixed transceiver.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A Optional NILF Figure 179. Piggyback mounting the transceiver module on the NILF 8.3.2 NIFX Fixed Transceiver The NIFX series fixed transceiver is a wireless teleCARE IP switch module which is available as socket module or pull cord module. It has 3 function buttons, a white plastic body and includes a spacer for surface mounting. The pull cord version includes the cord with two red balls but no socket. Figure 180.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A Replacing the Batteries The fixed transceiver requires 2 x 1.5V AA disposable alkaline batteries. The battery voltage is continually monitored and if low voltage is detected a “low battery” alarm is transmitted and the low battery status is included in every heartbeat transmission of the unit. Under normal circumstances the battery life is 1 to 1½ year. Figure 181.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A Handset Connection The socket module version of the fixed transceiver includes a teleCARE Safe Release socket for connecting the NIPH2-A1A handset with handset disconnect alarm functionality. Speech/ Entertainment handsets are not supported. Figure 183.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A 8.3.3 NITX Mobile Transceiver The NITX mobile transceiver is a wireless call unit for residents. It is robust and water resistant (IP 65). The NITX (AAA and BAA) contains a 916 to 921 MHz RF transceiver, a call button and a reassurance LED. The NITX-BAA also includes a 125 kHz LF receiver used for call cancellation using a cancel pendant and for location determination using LF beacons.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A Replacing the Battery The mobile transceiver is powered by a 3 volt lithium replaceable battery. The battery voltage is continually monitored and if low voltage is detected a “low battery” alarm is transmitted as part of the heartbeat transmission of the unit. Under normal circumstances the battery life is 1 to 1 ½ year.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A Mobile Transceiver Accessories Interchangeable rings, buttons and strap loops make it possible to customize the mobile transceiver body. The four rings and six buttons including a ring mounting tool are available as customization kit and the five strap loops including a rivet are available as an accessory kit. Figure 188.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A 8.3.4 NILF Low Frequency Beacon The low frequency beacon NILF is contained in a white plastic enclosure with a slim design that is suitable for surface mounting on walls or at a door post. The NILF is powered by three 1.5V “C” (R14) alkaline batteries. In situations where battery power is not suitable a 24Vdc external power supply can be used.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A NILF Installation The slim design makes the NILF suitable for surface mounting on walls or at a door post at approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the ground. Figure 190. NILF installation example WARNING: The NILF produces a low frequency magnetic field. Installing the NILF in proximity of metal objects or electrical cables can negatively influence the magnetic field which reduces the LF field coverage.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A Figure 191. Removing the front cover of the NILF Place the NILF onto the door post or the wall at approximately 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the ground and mark the holes for drilling with a sharp pencil. Figure 192. Mark the holes for drilling Screws with a diameter of 1/8 in. (3.8mm) should be used to mount the NILF to the door post or the wall. Two suitably sized holes should be drilled at the marked spots.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Rev A the NILF on a wall, holes should be drilled that accept a wall plug suitable for using screws with a diameter of 1/8 in. (3.8mm). Figure 193. Drill the two holes with the proper drill Mount the NILF on the door post or wall. Figure 194. Placing the NILF on the door post The two screws should be tightened carefully using the appropriate screwdriver. Make sure that the NILF does not bend when tightening the screws.
