Answer Code Calls:
All code calls take precedence over any normal or emergency call signal. Code calls
must be answered in person and can only be canceled from point of origin. Code
calls are indicated by simultaneous operation of the following signals:
• Very rapid flashing of the associated station selector lamp (twice the rate of
emergency call), which is marked to indicate call origin.
• Very rapid flashing of call lamp (twice the rate of emergency call).
• Very rapidly pulsing audible tone (twice the rate of emergency call).
Call a Remote:
• Locate the station selector button associated with the remote station to be called.
Press that selector button to establish a conversation path. The remote station’s
reset
lamp will illuminate.
• Press the
talk
button while speaking, and release button to listen. The remote area
may be monitored by selecting the remote station and releasing the
talk
button.
• When conversation or monitoring is complete, press the station selector button
to release it. The remote station’s
reset
lamp will turn off.
NOTE: Normal and
emergency calls will be received even while the NC150N or NC200N Master
Station is in use. The normal audible tone signal will be silenced, but the
emergency tone and visual indicators will function as previously described.
Group Call Remote Stations (from NC200N only):
• Locate the row of selector buttons for which group call is desired. Press the
button labeled
group
call
for that row. The remote stations’
reset
lamps will
illuminate. Group call may be selected for only one row at a time.
• Press the
talk
button while speaking.
NOTE: Group call serves as a paging
function only. No reply will be heard.
• When paging or announcement is completed, press the
group
call
button so it
is released. The remote stations’
reset
lamps will turn off.
Activate Nurse Follower Feature:
• Press the
duty
button and the associated station selector button to which calls
are to be transferred. All incoming emergency and normal calls to the master
station will be directed to the remote station selected.
• Calls may be answered at the master station only. When answering an emergency
or normal call, depress the
duty
button to release it and follow procedures for
answering calls as previously described.
NOTE: Origination of a call will also
be indicated by associated corridor dome light, if installed.
Test Station Selector Lamp:
Press lamp test button (one is included for each panel of station selector button/
lamps). All station selector lamps on that panel should illuminate. (See
NC150N,
NC200N Master Stations
in the
System Maintenance Instructions
section for proper
procedures and precautions in replacing defective lamps.)
Improper Operation:
• If the NC150N or NC200N Master Station fails to operate as described, contact
qualified maintenance personnel. There are no user replaceable parts on the
NC150N or NC200N Master Stations other than the station selector lamps.
• If a malfunction occurs during a call and causes a lack of indication of call origin on
the master station, first determine the origin of the call by observing which corridor
light and corridor zone light is illuminated, then inform qualified personnel.
