Installation
Installation for the Tek-CARE120 system is designed to be very straightforward.
When making wiring connections, use quality crimp connectors such as Dolphin
®
Super B
®
connectors.
Do not use wire nuts. Adequately protect all splices using junction boxes.
Installation Workflow:
o
Install all NC120 CE Modules.
o
Install the backup batteries.
o
Run data bus wiring through the facility.
o
Install and address LI122-Series/PM120 Room Controllers.
o
Connect stations to room controllers.
o
Run master bus wiring and make 8P8C terminations.
o
Check data bus for shorts and connect master and data bus wiring to the NC120 CE Module.
o
Power on the NC120 CE Module.
o
Create a configuration using the LS450 Config Tool software.
o
Test the Tek-CARE120 system.
o
Back up the configuration and turn the system over to the facility.
Types of Installation
There are two types of installations available for the Tek-CARE120 system, a
One-to-One
installation and a
Custom
installation.
One-to-One
A one-to-one installation strategy involves installing a single LI122-series Room Controller outside of
each room in the facility and using the points on that room controller to connect to stations installed in
that room.
In this installation strategy, stations are normally wired to their default points on the room controller.
The room controller will then annunciate calls from its attached stations only.
Custom
In a custom installation, each point on a room controller can be reassigned to a unique Station ID. This
enables the room controller to drive stations installed in different rooms. A custom installation strategy
also enables a single room controller to drive multiple patient stations in a single area, such as a ward.
Note:
Custom installations require training and a Config Tool Plus or Config Tool Elite
license.
Installation Concerns
When installing the Tek-CARE120 system, organization is key. As you install the system, note the DIP
switch address of each room controller, the physical location of the room controller, and which stations
are connected to the room controller on each point.
Keeping detailed records throughout the installation process will greatly simplify system programming
and setup. A programming worksheet is included at the end of this manual.
