Electronic Sounders Beepers Indication is provided via lamps and or LEDs 5000 Nurse Call Systems do not include voice communications or intercom talk paths Communicator 5000 Visual Nurse Call System typically consists of a microprocessor based control unit panels duty stations a group of addressable stations associated non addressable stations and lights All of these devices are interconnected to provide multi level signaling via tone visual The following information explains the role of each of the various components found within a system ADDRESSABLE STATION LOOP DATA LOOP of the key concepts in understanding both the 5000 and the 5500 Nurse Call Systems is the concept of which is a bi directional data circuit connecting all addressable stations on the system to the Unit Loop supports a total of 40 Addressable Stations as follows 32 Addresses used by every addressable station type except for Duty Stations 8 Station Addresses which are only used by Duty Stations Non Addressable stations MUST connect to the 5000 Series Nurse Call System via an Addressable UNIT control unit is the functional core of each 5000 Series system Each system requires one Control Unit Control Unit is essentially a panel with a plain metal door which contains the following equipment Power supplies to provide operating power to all other system components A Processor Module This microprocessor based component regulates the operation of the system and self diagnostic functions The Processor Module is the electronic hub to which all other system connect UNIT CAPACITIES capacity of each 5000 Series Control Unit is as follows Unit Model No with Dome Lamps Dome Lamps Tone Visual Version If Tone Visual Console is needed select corresponding 5500 Series Controller Control Unit is typically installed out of sight in a secure central location such as an equipment storage electrical room 09 10 2010 5 of 32 MODEL HRN7614UA provide the primary interface between Care Staff and the 5000 Series Nurse Call System Annunciator is a 4 gang size wall mounted device which provides Tone Visual indication by means of following features A Silence pushbutton is provided to temporarily silence tones being produced at the Annunciator new status condition will automatically cause re sound operation A Test pushbutton is provided for actuation of a Lamp Test function which allows operation of all LEDs to be verified pushbuttons may also be utilized to actuate several diagnostic display modes which are useful installation and for identifying and troubleshooting fault conditions A dual tone sounder produces different sounds tone patterns for different status conditions An array of 32 Programmable Red LEDs 4 rows of 8 provides visual indication of the corresponding that are mapped to each LED Typically one LED corresponds to a bed or a room Each of LEDs illuminates flashes at different rates in order to indicate the highest priority of any active call is linked to it A Green LED is provided to indicate that the u
