1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Nexus is a wireless nurse call system designed for ease of programming, installation and use.
This allows rapid deployment of a call system during influenza season when hospital resources
are stretched, or permanent installation for a long-term care facility or hospital ward looking for
a reliable wireless call solution.
Nexus works using a 10” Android tablet for the display – the tablet comes with a protective folio
for placement on a desk, or can be wall-mounted with the use of an optional bracket.
Alternately, Nexus can run on a Controller Box connected to a large computer monitor.
Up to three calls can be displayed on the screen, with higher priority calls automatically moved
to the top of the alarm display. Alarm priority levels are Emergency, Bath, and standard Call. If
more than three calls happen to be active at the same time, Nexus will display the three highest
priority events, and lower priority/newer calls will display as the higher priority/older events are
reset. All events are logged with a record of event location, call type, time of trigger and
duration before reset.
oom indication lights show Call, Presence, or Emergency status. Each light has an internal
buzzer with adjustable volume, and can repeat the signal to the display panel to greatly extend
range and improve the reliability of wireless coverage.

1.3.2 Dongle/ epeater Status
The repeater network is a critical part of Nexus operation. It is the link between the wireless
calling devices and the software. If you think this is not working properly, the LED can give an
indication of the current status.
•No LED – not connected properly

NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish
P9
•ed flashing LED – successfully connected
•Green flashing LED – when receiving data
An error message will display if the master repeater is removed or loses connection while Nexus
is active. Your system cannot function without this receiver connected, so Nexus will prompt
you to resolve this before any further action can be taken.
1.3.3 Lost Device Behavior
Nexus will display any faults that are detected within the local network. Faults display according
to the schedule below:
•Call points paired directly to DON-40 – 24hrs
•Call devices assigned to a ZP-01(S) repeater – 24hrs
•Signal repeaters – 15min

2. INSTALLING NEXUS
Nexus has been designed for a straightforward installation process that minimizes your time
spent on site. Following these steps will have your system up and running in just a few hours:
1. Switch on the tablet and connect the receiver dongle or Master ZP-01(M) repeater – the
application will automatically open to a splash screen displaying the version of Nexus
installed on this device
2. Change the PIN and enter name of organization (optional) in the Settings. If a receiver
dongle is used, skip to Step 5. If repeaters are used you must configure the Network ID
and Channel.
3. Program ZP-01(S) repeaters to use the same Network and Channel selected at Master
unit. When all epeaters in the network are initialized by the Master, power up or
connection, check the SSI values shown in the Event Log. ondish recommends
programming a signal hop if recorded SSI values are below 100
4. Program Call points to communicate with the nearest repeater unit
5. Pair call points with Nexus and define how each should display during a call – refer to
Section 3.3 for details of adding and renaming devices.
6. Pair call points with indication lights to extend wireless coverage (optional)
7. Mount indication lights (if used), call buttons and brackets for patient handsets
8. Mount display panel on a wall (wall mount bracket is optional)
9. Test all of the call points three times (call & reset) to ensure that signals are reliably
received by the panel.

2.1 The Nexus Display
Nexus display options include an Android tablet (NDP-11) or Control Box (TVB-11) connected
with an HD computer monitor.
2.1.1 egistering Nexus
Nexus will automatically launch when you connect a DON-40 or ZP-01(M) into the USB port of
an Android device with the app installed. If you have purchased a device from ondish it will
come with Nexus pre-installed with a registered software license for your organization. If you
are loading Nexus onto a device not purchased from ondish you will be prompted to enter a
registration key the first time Nexus is launched.
The email and password used for the software registration will allow you to update Nexus as
new features are implemented. See Section 4.2 for details.
2.1.2 Android Options
The tablet is recommended for ease of programming and installation of a temporary solution.
For a permanent solution the control box allows use with a larger monitor unit and can more
easily hide cabling from repeaters and paging transmitters that may be needed on the site.
Tablet (NDP- )
•Connect the power adapter provided
•Insert the ondish dongle to launch Nexus
•Nexus panels can be wall-mounted through the use of an
optional bracket (MBKT-01). This allows placement in an easily

visible location like behind a nurse desk or corridor. Make sure
the mounting location has access to an AC power socket.
Android Box (TVB- )
•Connect the power adapter provided
•Connect with HD monitor using HDMI cable
•Bluetooth keyboard or mouse is recommended
•Insert ondish dongle to launch Nexus
If using a DON-40 receiver dongle, skip to Section 3.3 to configure Call Points. For facilities that
require use of a epeater Network, the setup is covered in the next section.

NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish

2.2 Configuring a epeater Network
If repeaters are needed for the site, start by connecting the ZP-01(M) into the Nexus controller
and configure the network settings (refer to Section 3.5.4). The repeater units installed around
the facility must match the Network ID and Frequency Channel selected for the Master.
To program each ZP-01(S).
1. Set Network ID
2. Set High Frequency Wireless Channel
3. Set Target Address
4. Set Data ate
5. Set epeater Address
To enter programming on a ZP-01(S), press and hold the T-SW button on back until the Tx/ x
LED on the front panel flashes and remains on. To enter a digit, use a screwdriver to select a
number using the Address dial, and enter the digit by pressing T-SW. Each time a digit is
entered the ZP-01(S) will beep in acknowledgment.
2.2.1 Network ID
The Network ID setting must be the same for all ZP-01(S) and ZP-01(M) communicating on the
same Network. This prevents receiving unwanted calls from a nearby system, and allows
multiple networks to operate on the same site.
Adjust the “Address” rotary switch to the required Network ID:

NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish
P14
0-4 (factory default = “0”)
Press the T-SW button once and the Tx/ x LED will flash once to accept the input.
2.2.2 Wireless Channel
The Wireless Channel must be the same as that chosen on the ZP-01(M). This can be adjusted
using the rotary switch at “Address” to set a new digit:
0-4 for the 868MHz frequency band (CE)
0-9 for the 915MHz frequency band (US).
Press the T-SW button again to confirm the setting.
2.2.3 Target Address
The Target Address for the ZP-01(S) to communicate with the ZP-01(M) is usually set to “48” (i.e.
= the address set during 3.5.4).
(1) Adjust the rotary switch to “4” and press the T-SW button,
(2) Adjust the rotary to “8” and press T-SW again.
(3) The Tx/ x LED will then come back on and stay on “steady” briefly to indicate “programming
finished”.
(4) The ZP-01 then automatically exits programming mode, reboots itself and returns to normal
operating mode.
If the signal strength of a Network epeater is not strong enough directing towards the master,
the target address can instead be set to the ID of another ZP-01(S), which will relay the signal to
the central display. On Nexus 2.0 and higher, the SSI value of a call point will be recorded in
the Event Log, which will help installers determine whether a call point has a strong enough
connection.
2.2.4 Data ate
Set this to 0 for a low data rate – increases signaling range
Set this to 1 for a high data rate – decreases signaling range

NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish
P15
2.2.5 epeater Address
This tells the ZP-01(M) where to find this particular repeater. The ZP-01(S) address (01-47) must
be unique within the system so it can be individually called by the Master and Call Points.
The ZP-01(S) unique address is set by adjusting the rotary and DIP switches at “Address” in the
picture in Section 2.2 above. This setting can be selected without entering programming. The
chart below can be referred to when adjusting the rotary and DIP switches to set the required
Address.
For example, setting ZP-01(S) Address to “18”:
(1) setting of “2” on the rotary switch
(2) setting of POS 1: ON and POS 2: OFF on DIP switch
When this is changed the ZP-01(S) should be turned off and then back on before the epeater
Address will be registered by the Master unit.

2.3 Call Points
Nexus call points have minimal programming and installation required for a functional call
system.
Follow the steps below to configure call points:
Step 0: Insert Batteries – Nexus call points come with batteries pre-
installed. You will need to change these periodically based on usage. The
exception is the NEC-05 handset, which uses 2 x AAA alkaline cells.
Step : Wake Up Call Point – WCP-21 and WCP-21C call points are
shipped in a “sleep mode” to preserve battery life until they are used. To
wake the call point, hold Call until the LED stops flashing.
Step 2: Program Settings – Use ondish computer programmer to upload
network settings onto call points. This is only required if using a epeater
Network – efer to Appendix A
Step 3: Add to Nexus – efer to Section 2.3 for how to pair and rename a
call point
Step 4: Mounting – Use the call point to mark the position of the screw
holes on the wall. Drill guide holes before screwing the call point into place
Step 5: Connect Handsets – A similar process can be followed for the
handset mounting brackets

2.4 Indication Lights
Nexus Indication Lights can be located over a oom or Ward entrance, used as a corridor
display, or set to only respond to Emergency alarms on the premises. Light and sound
indications follow the HTM08 standard, as described in the chart shown in 2.4.1.
2.4.1 Operation Modes
The Nexus indicator can function differently depending on the application. The default is as a
room indicator, and the light is synched to call points using a magnetic fob.

2.4.3 Call Forward
The Call Forward switch may be set for basic and signal extending:
(a) Mode 1: Light Indicator only – it will not forward any calls to the ZP-01 network. This is
important when operated as a light indicator only; e.g. outside a toilet area and to avoid
interference from other local light units.
(b) Mode 0: In addition to the Light Indication, it will forward the call/data to the ZP-01(S)
Network epeaters.
2.4.4 Pairing Call Points
Put the indication light into pairing mode by touching a magnet to the blue dot on the front
plate. The light will indicate it is ready for pairing by turning on an indication LED in the bottom
section.
Pair call points with the light by holding the magnet over the eset button until the LED flashes
rapidly. The indication light will beep several times to indicate it has been paired.
You can pair additional call points to the light (maximum 25) or exit programming by touching
the magnet to the blue dot again.
