Smart Patient and
Staff/Duty Stations
HC-PSTN1, HC-PSTN2, HC-CCPSTN
and HC-DUTY
Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations are a primary point
of two-way communications between patients and staff.
Equipped with three call buttons and a cancel button, they offer
users an easy-to-operate means of placing calls on the patient-
staff communications system.
With a built-in speaker and microphone, these devices also
provide patients with the means of having a full-duplex
channel of audio communications with attending staff, and
vice versa. On-board LEDs provide operational feedback as
well as status indication.
Smart Patient Stations (HC-PSTN1 & HC-PSTN2) provide separate
18-pin receptacles for the connection of pillow speakers. Each
Smart Patient Station also comes equipped with two 0.64 mm
(0.25 in) receptacles that can be programmed to accept either
an input from auxiliary equipment, or a bed call cord.
Single Smart Patient Stations (HC-PSTN1) provide one set of
connections. Dual Smart Patient Stations (HC-PSTN2) provide
two sets of connections. Smart Staff/Duty Stations (HC-DUTY)
have no bed connections or call cord jacks.
Call Cord Patient Stations (HC-CCPSTN) come equipped with
two 0.64 mm (0.25 inch) receptacles that can be programmed
to accept either an input from auxiliary equipment or a bed call
cord(s). Can be configured to support one or two patient beds.
All stations provide a NiteLite on-board lighting feature for
easy visibility under low ambient light conditions. They feature
a snap-together design with no mounting screws visible after
installation. Their clean, modern look complements any decor.
Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations are installed in
unobstructed areas next to patient beds. Single Smart Patient
Stations serve the needs of one patient. Dual Smart Patient
Stations are installed between two beds and have two sets of
connectors, one for each bed. Smart Staff/Duty Stations are
installed in break rooms and other areas where staff may be
reached. They do not have bed connections.
Calls placed on Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations register
and annunciate at ColorTouch VoIP Staff Consoles and
ColorTouch VoIP Annunciators. Connected Infinity LED dome/
zone lights will also operate appropriately depending on the
nature and urgency of the call. These stations also provide full-
duplex audio communications that allow users to speak with
Staff Consoles and Annunciators.

Installation
Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations connect to the Telligence
LAN/WAN through the Telligence Station Gateway, which
provides all necessary power to the device. Stations are
connected to the gateway via their associated dome light.
Snap-in RJ-45 connections terminate at the station and the
dome light. Stations are network addressable and there are no
DIP switches or jumpers to set. They mount to standard 3-gang
backboxes.
Single Smart Patient Stations (HC-PSTN1) provide one set of connections.
Dual Smart Patient Stations (HC-PSTN2) provide two sets of connections.
Smart Staff/Duty Stations (HC-DUTY) have no bed connections or call cord jacks.

Performance specifications
Provide Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations at the locations
specified. The Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations install on
a 3-gang plaster ring and use a snap-together design with no
visible mounting screws after the unit has been installed. All
terminations on the Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations are
on RJ-45 connectors. All addressing of the Smart Patient and
Staff/Duty Stations is automatic using an intelligent addressing
scheme and does not require any manual addressing using DIP
switches at the station location. The Smart Patient and Staff/
Duty Stations have a NiteLite feature for visibility in dark rooms.
The Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Station buttons are software-
configurable and have field-replaceable button labels using a
label insert behind the clear button membrane.
Each Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Station is molded from
Cycoloy®. A central Telligence Station Gateway supplies all
power for the Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations.
Three of the buttons on the Patient or Staff/Duty Station may
be configured in the field for different functions depending on
the need. Customizable labels simply slide behind the switch
membrane. Switch functions are set on the Telligence network
with software programming tools.
Users operate the station by pressing one of the buttons on
the front of the unit. Calls may also be placed by operating a
connected call cord or pillow speaker.
Typical station functions include:
CODE: This button initiates a code blue call that activates
the corridor light and is displayed on the Staff Console or
Annunciator. The system can be configured to automatically
page a predetermined staff when this button is pressed
EMERG: When this button is pressed a staff emergency call
goes out to the staff console or annunciator and activates the
corridor light accordingly.
ASSIST: This button initiates a normal priority call that is
displayed on the staff console or annunciator and the corridor
light is activated accordingly.
CANCEL: This button clears all active calls registered at the
station.
LEDs adjacent to each button on the Patient or Staff/Duty
Station indicate the type of call that is placed. Additional LEDs
indicate the status of auxiliary hardware and, for dual patient
stations, provide visual cues concerning which bed the call
originated from. All stations feature NiteLite technology for easy
visibility under low ambient light conditions.
Smart Patient and Staff/Duty Stations feature an ingenious
cleaning mode that helps to prevent false calls on the system.
When the station is idle, pressing the CANCEL button for
between two and four seconds temporarily disables the front
panel buttons. This allows maintenance personnel to clean the
unit without fear of accidentally placing a call.
