Installing the NC-2000 Patient Unit
3.4 Dome Lights and Generic Outputs
The Patient Unit supports the following connections for outputs:
•
Dome lights
: there are 4 powered outputs for an external 4-light dome light - see Figure
13. Mircom supplies the NC-4LED Corridor Light. Other dome lights are available
through third party manufacturers.
•
Generic outputs
: these are 4 generic dry-contact outputs to activate either normally
open or normally closed external devices - see Figure 15
3.4.1 Connecting Third Party Dome Lights
Dome lights connect to terminal CN16, a 5-position screw down block. There are 4 live outputs
and a common return for a 5-wire 4-light interface (see Figure 13). These relays are limited to
500 mA maximum each.
Figure 13 Dome light connections on terminal CN16
Wire dome lights by connecting each light to its active output and to the common return.
Note:
The outputs for the dome lights on CN16 are tied to the generic outputs on CN13.
If, for example, you activate output 1, output 1 on CN13 and output 1 on CN16
both become active. For information on how to activate outputs, see the Rules
chapter in LT-2075, the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System
Administrator’s Guide.
Note:
Do not overtighten the screw terminals.
