Description
The NITX mobile transceiver is a wireless call unit for
residents and patients. It is used in the teleCARE IP
system and in Ascom systems for independent living.
The NITX (AAA and BAA) contains a 869 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 staff transmitter and for
location determination using LF beacons.
Each NITX mobile transceiver has a unique ID which is
transmitted with every event from the mobile
transceiver.
A normal call is activated by a short press on the
button, an assistance call is activated by pressing the
button for longer than 3 seconds. A call can be
cancelled remotely by a teleCARE IP wired 3 button
unit (Doorside module), a portable messaging device
or by pressing the red button of the mobile transceiver
4 times within 3 seconds.
The NITX is powered by a 3 volt lithium replaceable
battery. The battery voltage is continually monitored
and if low voltage is detected (under 2.4V) a “low
battery” alarm is transmitted.
The NITX has a set of connections on the printed
circuit board that can be used to connect a normally
open potential-free external alarm contact.
The NITX comes with a wrist strap so it can be worn
around the wrist like a wrist watch. Alternatively, a
pendant holder with a lanyard is available which
allows the NITX to be worn around the neck. The wrist
strap and pendant with lanyard are available as
accessories which can be ordered separately.
The NITX body can be customized with interchange-
able rings, buttons and strap loops available in a
variety of colors. The four rings and six buttons
including a ring mounting tool are available as
customization kit. Four colored strap loops and a
locking fastener are available as an accessory kit.
The NITX is water resistant (IP 65) so it can be worn in
the shower and in the rain.
