Tek-CARE ® 500 Wireless Emergency Call System Brought to you by:

Advantages of Your New System Superior Range—for quick and easy installation Reliable—self-testing for increased confidence Flexible—to support use in a variety of facilities Intelligent Repeater—allows use over large areas

Advantage of Frequency Agile ® Transmission 300MHz 300MHz systems send information on one narrow band channel. Any “in-band” interference can result in missed signals. 900MHz Frequency Agile Redundant information is sent on a multitude of different channels, creating the most reliable wireless system available.

Features of Your System Supervisory Signal—sent by transmitters, repeaters and locators, includes battery status Resident Check-in—reduces staff labor from manual “up & about” checks Resident Information Portable Pendant Call Transmitters, plus wall-mounted call transmitters Radio Pocket Paging—quickly and automatically notify staff of calls, or send custom messages

Pre-Bid Site Survey Kit The site survey kit is a must! It’s very important to the quality of coverage and system performance. You can’t calculate the number of repeaters required in a system without it.

Components of Your System The Master Station Computer processes and displays information from the system’s receiver. Many programmable options are available to customize your system. TekTone ® supplies the master station computer with Tek-CARE ® 500 software pre-installed.

Components of Your System The Receiver collects signals from the transmitters, repeaters and locators in the field and supplies serial data to the master station computer. The receiver is also used to program transmitters via a short cable (supplied), so locate the receiver within easy reach of the master station computer.

Components of Your System Repeaters are strategically placed throughout the facility to collect and re-transmit signals from pendants, transmitters, locators and other repeaters to the receiver. The repeater is shown here with battery backup and housing.

Components of Your System Locators transmit signals received from pendants and other transmitters, adding general location information. The optional locator processes only virgin transmitter signals—not signals received from repeaters or other locators.

Components of Your System Wireless transmitters can be call pendants, smoke detectors, motion detectors, door/window alarms, or fixed units such as emergency switches.
