IS76 Ferrite Beacon Controller
The IS76 Ferrite Beacon Controller is necessary to drive the IS76 Ferrite Antenna. It con-
nects to the mains power via an external power supply. Up to two IS76 Ferrite Antennas may
be connected to the IS76 Beacon Controller, depending on the size of the passage that has
to be covered with the beacon. The beacon location code is set-up on the IS76 Ferrite
Beacon Controller. Contrary to the ferrite antenna, the IS76 Ferrite Beacon Controller has to
be mounted indoors, in a well ventilated cool place.

System Supervision
The operation of the IS76 Beacon system is supervised. An eventual operation failure
(broken wire or overload) is indicated by the front panel LED and by the opening of a
"normally closed" relay contact that is accessible from the terminal block. The supervision
output may be connected to an RAC-type alarm transmitter which would transmit the beacon
operation failure to the NurseCall System.
Features of the IS76 Beacon System
Ferrite antenna offers a better defined capture range that is less dependent on the
surrounding building material
The antenna may be installed in or outdoors
Up to 230 user selectable position (location) codes (001 to 230)
Up to 24 user selectable "Wandering" codes (231 to 254)
