System Operating Principle
Each system uses a series of bus conductors to carry the operating and signaling voltage
to the various units. In addition, each station capable of calling the master station has
individual conductors between it and the master to give the station its own identity.
When a call button is depressed, switching circuits operate to light various call lights and
to energize system call tone. All calls must be reset at the point of origin.
1/3-second intervals. A normal call is indicated by a steady lamp and an intermittent
tone at approximately 8-second intervals.
The Tek-CARE®NC110 Nurse Call System includes three basic units, each essential for
operation. These will be discussed individually and are as follows:
• Power & Control Unit
• Master Station
• Call Stations
The use of these basic units, in conjunction with wiring, housings and auxiliary equipment,
make up a complete system.
PK152, PK151A Power & Control Units
The power & control unit utilizes a transformer which steps down the 120 VAC input to
for the rest of the system.
Control circuits are provided to detect the presence of normal or emergency calls and
to provide steady or intermittent voltages to operate external devices with indications
as follows:
Normal calls are indicated by a positive voltage applied to Terminal R by the calling
remote station. Emergency calls are indicated by a positive voltage applied to terminal
Q by the calling remote station.
PK800A Secondary Power Supply
The secondary power supply accepts a 24 VAC input from the SS100 transformer. It
Effective 7/2017, the PK800A has been discontinued. It is documented in this manual
for reference purposes only.
NC110N Master Stations
The Master Station includes:
• Buzzer for audible signals.
• Annunciator lamps for call indication.
• Additional operating controls, including tone off and tone test switches and
additional emergency and normal call indicators.
System Operating Principle
IL381 Tek-CARE®NC110 Manual • 7
Copyright © TekTone Sound & Signal Mfg., Inc. All Rights Reserved.
NC110A Master Stations
The NC110A’s design is based on the NC110N master station. The NC110N’s control
switches have been replaced with relays that have reliable control circuitry, which
are operated via the buttons on the NC110A membrane switch. The NC110A uses an
electronic oscillator circuit to generate call tones via an enclosed 45-ohm speaker. A
simple digital counter keeps track of tone volume and is advanced by pressing the
volume button.
The NC110A includes an isolated N/O relay contact for ancillary off-board call handling.
An RC hold circuit keeps the contact closed during off cycles of the call indication LED.
For this reason, the contact will remain closed for a few seconds after call activity at the
station has ended.
SF100C,SF100N,SF100/2,SF101B,SF101C,SF101N,SF102CallStations
The SF100C, SF100N, SF100/2, SF101C and SF102 Call Stations are for normal calls that
use an LED visual indicator.
Pressing the momentary call button initiates a routine level call. A latching circuit
maintains signaling after the call button has been released. Pressing the cancel button
cancels the call.
Call stations SF101B and SF101N have different features, but function in a similar manner.
SF155B,SF339,SF151N,SF153NEmergencyStationsandSF156BCodeStation
The SF155B Emergency Station is for emergency calls. In the emergency position,
associated signal lights are disconnected from the normal signal terminals and connected
to the emergency signal terminals.
Emergency stations SF339, SF151N and SF153N, and code station SF156B have different
features, but function in a similar manner.
Effective 7/2017, the SF339 has been discontinued. It is documented in this manual for
reference purposes only.
