Bosch Security Systems User Manual 970.030 | v1.1 | 2009.09
2 Generalities
2.1 NurseCall System
Alarms and Messages arriving from NurseCall Transmitters such as the NurseCall N46 Wall
Transmitter are managed and stored by the NurseCall Main Unit.
2.2 NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter
The NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter is a multifunction terminal radio transmitter, designed for
patients and nursing staff to make an emergency call, summon assistance or cancel a call
directly in the patient’s room. It is part of a NurseCall system, and is easily expandable.
In the NurseCall system, the NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter allows the resident of a home or
the patient of a clinic to easily alert the care personnel if needed. The patient simply has to
push the large red button. The system is then able to control and to monitor the progress of
the care personnel.
The alarm and event transmission is performed by radio. There is no need for a wired
connection between the NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter and the NurseCall Main Unit, this
makes the system installation easy and allows great mobility.
Depending on the model, two relay outputs are available and may be used to connect alarm
and staff presence indicators such as, for instance, the signal lamps installed above the door.
Two LED signal lamps allow the progress to be monitored on the device.
In this document you will find all the information you need for the installation and the use of
the NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter.

NOTICE!
The document "NurseCall General Overview" explains the system concept.

5.2.3 Connecting to the power supply
The NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter can be powered by a lithium battery or/and an external
12-24 VDC power supply. If the device is powered with an external power supply, the battery
is not necessary, but it can be used as a backup power supply in case of power loss.
If the device is powered by the battery only, the battery life is about 2 years. However, it is
recommended to change the battery once a year.
If the device is powered by an external power supply and the battery is used as backup power
supply, it is recommended to check it at regular intervals (for instance once a year) and to
change it if necessary.
5.2.4 Reset
All parameters are reset when powering up the device (battery or external power supply). This
operation causes the synchronization of the daily message.
In order to perform a reset, make sure to remove both the battery and the external power sup-
ply, make a short-circuit on the two pins marked Reset before powering the device up again.
See Section Fig. 5.2 Configuration and Wiring, page 17.
5.2.5 Transmitter Identification
All NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitters are provided with their own radio identification code that
is assigned in the factory. During the installation, it is necessary to set the relationship
between the identification code of the Transmitter and the place where it is installed (floor/
room/bed or single number). This identification is programmed on the Nursecall Main Unit
(refer to the NurseCall Main Unit User Manual).
5.2.6 Operation Check
Once the transmitter has been installed and setup properly, it is recommended to check all
functionalities of the device. The radio transmission can be checked by sending an acknowl-
edgement call by pressing the green button.
!
CAUTION!
When powering the device, the external 12-24 VDC power supply must be equipped with a
setting off safety device, that is easy to access. The power supply must also be equipped with
a safety fuse of lower value, e.g. 100 or 125 mA.
i
NOTICE!
All connections as well as the configuration need to be carried out before powering the device
(insertion of the battery and/or application of the external power supply).

970.030 | v1.1 | 2009.09 User Manual Bosch Security Systems
6Use
Every time a NurseCall N46 Wall Transmitter is used by pressing a button or activating a wired
input, the device sends a radio signal and the lamps indicates its actual state. Optionally, two
relays allow the transmission of status to a remote display such as the signal lamps placed on
top of the door.
Each radio message is sent with a different code which allows the receiver (NurseCall system)
to recognize the performed action.
6.1 Call for Help
The Call for Help can be triggered in three different ways:
– by pushing the red Call for Help button
– by pushing the external switch connected to the J4 connector, for example a pear
push button.
– by pushing the external button connected to terminals 1 & 2 of the terminal block
J6.
The Call for Help is repeated approximately every 2 minutes until a call acknowledgement
takes place, up to a maximum of 20 minutes. This repeat function can be disabled by setting
the solder bridge B4.
A Call for Help is signaled by red flashes on the signal lamp and optionally, by the activation of
the relay Call for Help.
6.2 Call for Assistance
The Call for Assistance is triggered by pushing the Call for Assistance button (blue).
The Call for Assistance is repeated approximately every 2 minutes until a call acknowledge-
ment takes place, up to a maximum of 20 minutes. This repeat function can be disabled by
setting the solder bridge B4.
A Call for Assistance is signaled by red double flashes on the signal lamp and by the alternate
action/release of the relay Call for Help.
i
NOTICE!
It is recommended to keep the button pressed until the lamp placed above the red button
lights up.
i
NOTICE!
In some cases, the action Call for Help generates a Call for Assistance action. See
Section State before action: Alarm with staff presence, page 25.
