System Installation and Setup

The home screen of the Event Monitor and Remote Event Monitor is shown below.

It is important to remember that both the Config Tool and Event Monitor can make changes

to the Tek-CARE

system, but only changes made in the Event Monitor are automatically

written to the system. Changes made in the Event Monitor will not be automatically

reflected in the Config Tool. As such, it is important to select

File>Load Configuration

from System

in the Config Tool after any changes are made in the Event Monitor software-

this updates the configuration in the Config Tool to match the current configuration on

the Tek-CARE

system. If the current system configuration is not loaded into the Config

Tool, changes made in the Event Monitor will not remain on the Tek-CARE

system after

the configuration is committed from the Config Tool.

System Setup Workflow

The Tek-CARE

systems are designed for ease of installation and can be programmed

and installed by a single individual, though testing will be simpler with an assistant.

TekTone

recommends that the gateways, repeaters, receivers, and system devices

be programmed into the Tek-CARE

system before they are mounted in their final

locations. This will speed installation and provides for the opportunity to test devices

individually as they are programmed into the system.
The following list is simply an outline of the overall installation procedure. Installation

details are discussed further in the following pages.

•  Install the Tek-BRIDGE™ where it is accessible to facility staff.
•  If required, connect the Tek-BRIDGE™ to the facility LAN.
•  Start the

LS576 Event Monitor

software

• Start the

LS450 Config Tool

software.

• For Tek-CARE

550

Systems

: Program and commission the

NC555 Gateways

and

NC551 Repeaters

that will operate on the system.

• For Tek-CARE

500

Systems:

Install

NC501

and/or

NC510ES Receivers

• Add system transmitters.
•

Load the configuration from the system into the

Config Tool

and continue with

system programming. Set up optional system features including paging, email

and text message notification, resident records, and other system options.
