Device Mounting
Tek-CARE
®
wireless devices may be mounted in the following ways
• Surface mount on drywall (Must use drywall anchors)
• Surface mount on headwall
• Mounted on plastic back boxes
• Surface mount on wood
When installing Tek-CARE
®
wireless devices, take care to install devices according to
applicable building codes.
Never mount Tek-CARE
®
wireless devices in or on metal backboxes. Metal backboxes
will interfere with signal transmission. Specify plastic back boxes for Tek-CARE
®
wireless device mounting.
For transmitters which use mounting brackets, simply place the bracket where the
device is to be mounted, and mark the two mounting holes.
For NC555 Gateways and NC551 Repeaters, refer to the included drill guide. Gateways
and Repeaters should be installed in secure locations where facility residents are
unlikely to tamper with the devices.
Test Transmitters after Installation
TekTone
®
recommends testing each device immediately following installation. For
smaller facilities simply place a call from each transmitter and check the Event Monitor
screen on the Tek-BRIDGE™. As calls are placed, make sure that the location in the Event
Monitor correlates with the location noted on the programming worksheet.
In larger facilities, testing of installed devices can be expedited by using a remote
Event Monitor installed on a portable laptop. If the Tek-CARE
®
system is connected to
the facility LAN and the facility has a WiFi network, follow the remote Event Monitor
setup instructions on page __ to install remote Event Monitor software on the connected
laptop. Once the remote Event Monitor is set up, the laptop may be carried throughout
the facility and used to monitor calls placed from transmitters during testing.
This step helps to identify any installation errors early in the installation process so that
the rest of the installation goes smoothly. Use the completed programming worksheet
to verify that transmitters have been installed in the correct locations.
Add Custom Resident Information Fields
In addition to resident names and locations, the Tek-CARE
®
System can be customized
to store any other resident data desired by the facility such as resident home address,
medications, physician information, or food allergies. Once the custom configuration has
been committed to the system, these fields will appear in the Event Monitor software.
To add custom fields for additional resident information:
1. Click
Residents
in the page selection pane of the Config Tool.
