Overview

The Tek-CARE120 system is a versatile system that can satisfy the needs of a wide range

of facilities. At its core, the Tek-CARE120 system is a two-wire nurse call system

designed for easy installation and years of trouble-free operation. The system is available

with a variety of call stations such as two-button pull-cord stations, 1/4" jack call cord sta-

tions, duty stations, dome lights, and more.

In addition to these items, the Tek-CARE120 system can be easily integrated with exist-

ing TekTone nurse call systems, nurse call systems manufactured by other companies, as

well as a wide variety of building systems such as fire alarm systems, security and access

control systems, and much more.

The Tek-CARE120 system may be used as either a standalone nurse call system using

NC415AV Master Stations, or it may be connected to another TekTone nurse call system,

such as the Tek-CARE400 or Tek-CARE400P5/Tek-CARE400P5+ over the Tek-CARE

Network. With the addition of the LS601 Tek-ALERT Integration Manager, the Tek-

CARE120 system is capable of communicating with many other types of building sys-

tems, such as fire alarm and security systems. The LS601 Tek-ALERT Integration Manager

also allows the system to display and log various events from older analog TekTone nurse

call systems such as the Tek-CARE NC110, NC150, NC200, and 300/III systems.

Product Overview

NC120 Central Equipment Module: The main component of the Tek-

CARE120 system is the NC120 Central Equipment (CE) Module. The CE mod-

ule is designed to be stackable or rack mountable. The NC120 CE Module can

operate as a standalone system, or as a module on a larger, integrated Tek-

CARE nurse call system. The NC120 CE Module provides connections for 64

Tek-CARE120 room controllers and six NC415AV Master Stations. Multiple

CE modules may be networked together to create a larger system.

NC415AV Master Station: The NC415AV Master Station is a touchscreen

master station that is used to interact with the Tek-CARE120 system. The

NC415AV Master Station displays calls from the Tek-CARE120 system and

provides limited programming and configuration ability for the Tek-CARE120

system. The NC415AV uses a five-inch LCD touchscreen to provide audible

and visual annunciation of system calls. The NC415AV may be mounted using

the IH415D desk stand or wall-mounted using the IH415W wall-mount

bracket.

NC403TS Tek-CARE Monitor: The NC403TS Tek-CAREMonitor is a pur-

pose-built touchscreen monitor for the Tek-CAREnurse call system. It displays

call information, statuses, etc. throughout the facility. The monitor can also

modify its own annunciation settings and display system faults. The NC403TS

uses a 22-inch touchscreen and may be mounted using the CL234 wall-mount

bracket. Refer to IL1030 NC403TS Tek-CAREMonitor Installation Manual

for more information.

L122/LI122BL Room Controller: The LI122-Series Room Controller

provides connections for six stations and one connection for the Tek-

CARE120 data bus. In most instances, the room controller is installed outside a

room in the same position as a traditional dome light. The two-conductor cable

is used to connect Tek-CARE120 stations to the LI122-Series Room Con-

trollers. The rear of the room controller contains a 14-pin header. Pins 1-12 are

used in pairs for station connections, and pins 13 and 14 are used to connect the

room controller to the Tek-CARE120 data bus. The LI122 annunciates high pri-

ority calls with red LEDs and low priority calls with white LEDs. The

LI122BL is identical to the LI122, but with blue LEDs for high priority calls

and white LEDs for low priority calls.

PM120 Room Controller: The PM120 Room Controller provides connection

points for Tek-CARE120 stations without the dome light LEDs found on the

LI122-series room controllers. The PM120 is designed to be installed out of

sight.

Product Overview

SF121 and SF122 Patient Stations: The SF121 Patient Station is designed to

provide a single 1/4" jack for standard call cords. The SF121 mounts near a res-

ident’s bed or chair, and enables calls to be placed using pushbutton call cords,

geriatric call cords, pneumatic call cords, and more. The SF121 is equipped

with an illuminated reset button. The SF122 Patient Station is a dual-jack ver-

sion of the SF121.

SF123 2-Button Pull-Cord Station: The SF123 station is used to place a vari-

ety of calls on the Tek-CARE120 system. The SF123 uses interchangeable

inserts depending on the desired function of the station. The SF123 is most

commonly used as an Emergency station, but can be easily configured for Bath,

Code Blue, and Emergency 2 calls. Custom call types may also be created, and

custom call type inserts can be generated using the LS450 Config Tool soft-

ware. The SF123 can also be used as a room-level reset button and a check-in

station. Use the RP187K Gasket Kit for mounting in wet environments.

SF125 Duty Station: The SF125 is a duty station used to alert staff to pending

Tek-CARE120 system calls. The duty station is installed in areas where call

annunciation is needed, but the full functionality of a master station is not. Four

LEDs communicate the type of active call, and an audible tone alerts staff mem-

bers when calls are placed. The SF125 duty station uses two points on the

LI122-Series Room Controller or PM120 Room Controller.

PM123 Auxiliary Input Module: The PM123 is a module used to monitor

normally open dry contacts such as door switches, emergency pushbuttons, and

alarm contact outputs. The PM123 is designed to be installed out of sight. Up

to two individual contacts can be monitored with a single PM123. The PM123

may also be used as an auxiliary check-in device. Normally open contacts such

as door switches, motion detectors, or pressure pads may be used with the

PM123 to satisfy a resident check-in requirement on the system.

CT160 Cable Adapter(CT160K pictured - CT160 with housing): The

CT160 is designed to adapt a connection from a two-wire flying lead to an

8P8C connector. The CT160 may be connected to LI122, LI122BL, and

PM120 room controllers or can be ordered as the CT160K which includes

housing.

Installation

Installation for the Tek-CARE120 system is designed to be very straightforward.

When making wiring connections, use quality crimp connectors such as Dolphin®Super B®connectors.

Do not use wire nuts. Adequately protect all splices using junction boxes.

Installation Workflow:

oInstall all NC120 CEModules.

oInstall the backup batteries.

oRun data bus wiring through the facility.

oInstall and address LI122-Series/PM120 Room Controllers.

oConnect stations to room controllers.

oRun master bus wiring and make 8P8C terminations.

oCheck data bus for shorts and connect master and data bus wiring to the NC120 CEModule.

oPower on the NC120 CEModule.

oCreate a configuration using the LS450 Config Tool software.

oTest the Tek-CARE120 system.

oBack up the configuration and turn the system over to the facility.

Types of Installation

There are two types of installations available for the Tek-CARE120 system, a One-to-One installation and a

Custom installation.

One-to-One

A one-to-one installation strategy involves installing a single LI122-series Room Controller outside of

each room in the facility and using the points on that room controller to connect to stations installed in

that room.

In this installation strategy, stations are normally wired to their default points on the room controller.

The room controller will then annunciate calls from its attached stations only.

Custom

In a custom installation, each point on a room controller can be reassigned to a unique Station ID. This

enables the room controller to drive stations installed in different rooms. A custom installation strategy

also enables a single room controller to drive multiple patient stations in a single area, such as a ward.

Note: Custom installations require training and a Config Tool Plus or Config Tool Elite

license.

Installation Concerns

When installing the Tek-CARE120 system, organization is key. As you install the system, note the DIP

switch address of each room controller, the physical location of the room controller, and which stations

are connected to the room controller on each point.

Keeping detailed records throughout the installation process will greatly simplify system programming

and setup. A programming worksheet is included at the end of this manual.

Installation

Below is an example of a completed programming worksheet.

Power Considerations

In order to stay within the power limits of the NC120 CEModule and ensure reliable system per-

formance, the Tek-CARE120 Power Calculator will calculate the master load for the module. The cal-

culate may be downloaded at:

http://www.tektone.com/pdf_files/gen2_master_station_load_value_calculator.xlsx

Figure 1 - NC120 CEModuleConnections

Installation

The NC120 Central Equipment Module

The NC120 Central Equipment Module contains all the necessary connections for the Tek-CARE120

hardware as well as the backup batteries for the system. The NC120 CEModule is designed to be moun-

ted in a standard 19" server rack using included CL120RM brackets. Modules may also be desk-mounted

and stacked. The NC120 CEModule requires 160VAC or 240VAC power, and must be connected to a

generator-backed circuit intended for life safety equipment.

Note: The NC120 CE is supplied with a 4A fuse accessible via a cover just below the power cable con-

nection on the rear of the module. If the module is to be operated on 220VAC power, this fuse MUST

be swapped for a 2A fuse. The 2A fuse is not included.

If the NC120 CEModule is not mounted in a server rack, allow adequate air space around the front,

sides, and back of the unit. At least 6" of airspace must be maintained for the unit to operate reliably.

Refer to Figure 1 on page 9 for NC120 CE port descriptions.

On the front of the NC120 CEModule, you will find a bank of DIP switches. These DIP switches are

used to configure various options on the CE module and to provide an address for the CE module.

Figure 2 - Module Dip Switch Addressing

The small bank of 4 DIP switches on the left is used for the following functions. Note that the down pos-

ition of the switch is on. Normal settings are indicated in parenthesis.

Switch 1 – Redefault the database. (Off/Up)

Switch 2 – Silence the audio alarm buzzer. (On/Down)

Switch 3 – Redefault network subnet assignment to 192.168.1. (Off/Up)

Switch 4 – Factory and troubleshooting use only. (Off/Up)

The second bank of 8 DIP switches is used to set the address of the NC120 CEModule.

Switch 1 – Switch 7 – Used to select the CE module’s address. Valid addresses are 1-75. Note that

though there are 75 available DIP switch addresses, no more than 20 modules may be installed on a

single Tek-CARE system. Switch 1- Switch 7 utilize standard binary addressing, with Switch 1 being 1

and Switch 7 being 64.

Switch 8 – Factory Use Only. (Leave turned Off/Up)

Install Backup Batteries

Before proceeding with system setup, install the backup batteries in the module. Open the two battery

compartment covers on the top of the module.

Locate the red (positive) and black (negative) wires with female spade connectors under each door.

Move the wires out of the way and place the batteries in the holders and connect the spade terminals to

the batteries as shown below.

Connect the red leads to the positive terminal of each battery and the black leads to the negative ter-

minal of each battery.

Figure 3 - Battery Connections

The Tek-CARE120 Data Bus

The Tek-CARE120 data bus is a two-wire serial communications bus. There are four ports on the front of

the module, each capable of driving up to 1,000 feet of data bus and up to 16 LI122-Series room con-

trollers.

There are four 8P8C jacks on the front of the module. The two on the right are for NC415AV Master Sta-

tions, and two on the left for Tek-CARE Network connectivity. Each module supports up to six master

stations, three per port.

To begin installing the NC120 CEModule, mount the module either on a server rack or on a shelf. Plug

in the supplied AC power cord, and turn the unit on. You are now ready to begin connecting field wir-

ing to the module.

Installation

Wiring Installation

Tek-CARE120 Data Bus Wiring

The main wiring for the Tek-CARE120 system consists of a two-wire communications data bus. The

data bus ports on the front of the NC120 CE Module are capable of supporting 16 room controllers each,

for a total of 64 controllers per CE module. Note that each port is capable of driving up to 1,000' of

cable for the data bus. TekTone recommends 18/2 stranded cable for the data bus, but other types of wir-

ing are acceptable. See the table below for details.

Note: If 22 AWG cable is used, the data bus runs can be extended by twisting conductors

together at each splice. For example, 22/4 cable used for data bus wiring could have two

conductors twisted together for the positive leg of the data bus and two conductors twis-

ted together for the negative leg.

16 Controllers Max 12 Controllers Max 8 Controllers Max 8 Controllers Max

18 AWG Cable 1000' 1000' 1000' 1000'

20 AWG Cable 625' 800' 1000' 1000'

22 AWGCable 350' 525' 750' 1000'

2 x 22 AWG Cable 775' 1000' 1000' 1000'

Run wiring from room controller to room controller and connect the room controllers to the data bus in

parallel using T-taps. Connect the positive wire in the data bus cable to the solid white wire (pin 13) on

the back of the room controller, and connect the negative wire from the data bus to the black wire (pin

14) on the room controller.

CAT5 Cabling Option

The CT160 can be convenient for wiring from a module to room controllers. From the NC120 CE, con-

nect the CT160 two-wire pigtail to the data bus on the port. Refer to the wiring diagram below. The

CT160 can either be installed as a standalone with the mounting hardware (CT160K), or it can be

snapped into the back of LI122-series dome lights and/or PM120 controller modules. Once installed, run

or reuse CAT5 or better cable plugged into the CT160 and out to each dome or module. Refer to Figure

5 on page 15 to note the positive and negative connections.

Note: Test CAT5 connections and meter cables for shorts and wiring mistakes to avoid issues

later.

Figure 4 - Bus Wiring

Master Bus Wiring

The maximum wiring distance for the Tek-CARE120 master bus is 1000' per port. Up to three

NC415AV Master Stations may be installed on each port, for a total of six master stations per NC120

CE Module.

To install multiple masters on one master bus trunk line, use CT400P5 splitters. Maximum tap length off

of the main master bus trunk line is 60'.

Installation

Ensure the last NC415AV Master Station installed on the master bus must have the End Of Lineresistor

enabled. Turn on DIP Switch 5 to enable the internal EOLresistor.

Addressing Room Controllers and Default Behavior

The Tek-CARE120 system is designed to be simple to install. As such, the room controllers are designed

so that a basic system can be brought online with minimal programming.

Each room controller must be addressed to communicate on the data bus using the five position DIP

switch found on the back of the room controller. Available addresses are 0-31.

When assigning addresses to the room controllers, keep in mind which port the room controller is con-

nected to. For purposes of addressing, the two left data bus ports are 0A and 0B and the two right data

bus ports are ports 1A and 1B. This means that addresses for room controllers connected to port 0A and

port 0B must be unique, but port 0A and port 1A may have addresses duplicated between them.

Keep detailed notes of the physical addresses and locations of room controllers installed in the facility

using the worksheet in the back of this manual. Without adequate installation notes, system con-

figuration will be extremely time consuming.

Note: No terminating jumper or resistor is required on the data bus. If necessary, the data

bus may also be installed using a star topology. Do not exceed 1,000 feet of cable on any

one data bus port.

The address assigned to the room controller also influences the default behavior of the room controller. If

a controller is addressed as 0-29, the system assumes that the controller will be installed in a single bed

configuration. This is useful for simple one-to-one installations. Room controllers addressed as 30-31 are

defaulted to duty station behavior. These default behaviors are modified during configuration setup if

needed.

Connect Stations

Up to six stations may be connected to each room controller using the header on the back of the room

controller. The leads on the header are paired together to form a point on the room controller. This

means that each header has six points to connect stations to, and one point for data bus connections.

With the wire leads on the connector pointing down, point 1 is on the left. The illustration below shows

the six available points on the header. The point connections are arranged +-, +-, etc., with each group

of +- connections making up one point. Refer to the figures below for default connection points.

Note: Room controllers sold prior to warranty number N6861530 (April 2017) were sup-

plied with Red and Red/White wires for Point 2 and Blue and Blue/White wires for Point

3 of their station connection header.

Tek-CARE120 Station Wiring

When installing wiring to stations, use 18-22 AWG cable. Do not exceed 100 feet of cabling for SF121,

SF122, and SF123 stations. For SF125 stations, do not exceed 50 feet of cabling. Only one station may

be connected to each point. Do not splice multiple stations together on the same point wiring.

One-to-One Installations

In most installations, one room controller will be used as a connection point for all of the stations in the

associated room. This provides the simplest software configuration option, but other installation

strategies are available.

In a one-to-one installation, connect the stations to the room controller according to the table on the pre-

vious page.

Keep detailed notes of which input stations are connected to the points of each room controller using

the programming sheet provided in the back of this manual.

Custom Installations

In other cases, a single room controller can be used to connect stations from multiple rooms or several

beds in a ward-style installation. If stations are installed in this way, keep detailed notes that correlate

the physical room the station is installed in and the DIP switch address of the room controller the sta-

tions are connected to. This information will be needed when creating the system configuration.

Station Connection Instructions

SF121 Single and SF122 Dual Patient Stations: SF121 and SF122 stations are installed on 1-gang

mounting rings or backboxes. Connect the red lead from the station to the positive terminal on the

desired point of the room controller and connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the desired

point on the room controller. If possible, connect the patient station to Point 1 (Purple and

Purple/White wires). This is the default connection point for patient stations in a single or dual bed

installation.

SF123 Two-Button Pull-Cord Station: SF123 stations are installed on 1-gang mounting rings or back-

boxes. Slide the desired call type insert into the slot on the front of the station. Snap the circuit board

into the front bezel by spreading the face of the bezel while placing the circuit board into the retaining

clips.

If a pull string is used, install the slider in the bracket with the flat side facing down as shown above.

Push an end of the pull string though the hole in the slider contained on the bracket. Use the included

brass ferrule to crimp onto the string. Trim the string to the appropriate length and insert it through the

hole in the plastic handle. Crimp the remaining ferrule onto the string below the handle. Install the rear

bracket on the wall or junction box using the two screw holes in the bracket.

Figure 8 - SF123 Two-Button Pull-Cord Station

Installation

Note: Push the slider up into the retaining nibs on the rear bracket. Failure to push the

slider up and secure it will result in station damage during installation.

Connect the red lead on the station to the positive terminal of the desired point on the room controller

and connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the desired point on the room controller. If pos-

sible, connect the SF123 stations to points 2-4. These are the default connection points for SF123s in a

single or dual bed installation.

lTo use an SF123 as a Code Blue switch, connect it to Point 2 (Blue and Blue/White) on the

room controller.

lTo use an SF123 as a Bath switch, connect it to Point 3 (Red and Red/White) on the room con-

troller.

lTo use an SF123 as an Emergency switch, connect it to Point 4 (Orange and Orange/White) on

the room controller.

lIf a custom call type is desired, note which point the SF123 station is connected to using the

worksheet in the back of this manual. This information will be used during configuration setup.

lIf an SF123 is to be used as a Check In/Reset station, connect it to any unused point of the room

controller. Be sure and note the point that it is connected to, so it can be correctly programmed

during configuration setup. For more information about check in, see Check In on page30.

SF125 Duty Station: SF125 stations are installed on 2-gang or 3-gang mounting rings or backboxes.

Connect the red lead from the SF125 LED panel to the positive terminal of the desired point on the

room controller and connect the black wire to the negative terminal of the desired point on the room con-

troller. Make sure the wires from the toner module and the data/LED module are not wrapped

around each other. This may cause data issues.

Connect the SF125 Toner Module to a separate point on the same room controller. Connect the +12V

post to the positive terminal of the desired point, and connect the Return post to the negative terminal

of the desired point on the room controller.

If possible, connect the SF125 LED panel to Point 1 (Purple and Purple/White wires), and the toner

module (PM578SM) to Point 6 (Green and Green/White wires). These are the default point connections

for a room controller set up with the duty station preset.

PM123 Auxiliary Input Module: Remove the

top cover from the PM123 case. Inside, note

the PM123 harness and six wires. Connect the

wiring from the room controller and switches

to the PM123 Module. Connect the positive

terminal of the desired point on the room

controller to the Send terminal, and connect

the negative point of the desired point to the

Return terminal. If possible, connect the

PM123 Module to point 5, which is the

default connection point for the PM123.

Connect the normally open dry contact to be

monitored to Contact 1 or Contact 2. There

are three available functions for the PM123 in

the Config Tool, Aux Input 1 (with A and

B sides), Aux Input 2 (with A and B sides),

and Aux Check In.

Figure 9 - PM123 Connections

Note that Contact 1 will appear as Aux Input 1A or Aux Input 2A in the Config Tool software depend-

ing on the function selected. Contact 2 will appear as Aux Input 1B or Aux Input 2B. Aux inputs are

non-latching by default but can be configured to be latching within the LS450 Config Tool Software.

The PM123 may also be used as a check in device. If a normally open dry contact is connected to

Contact 1, and the contact is closed at any point during the check in window, the check in requirement

will be satisfied. If a device such as a motion detector or pressure pad is used for check in, connect the

output from the device to Contact 1.

If a normally open dry contact is connected to Contact 2 and changes state at any point during the

check in window, the check in requirement will be satisfied. This is useful if a door contact switch is to

be used for check in. In this instance, if the switch is closed at the start of the check in period, opening

the switch at any point during the check in period will satisfy the check in requirement.

For more information about check in, see Check In on page 30.

Connect NC415AV Master Stations

The two 8P8C jacks on the right side of the NC120 CE Module

are the connections for the NC415AV Master Stations. Each jack

supports three NC415AV Master Stations with no more than

1,000 feet of CAT5 or better cabling on the run. Wire the 8P8C

connectors for the NC415AV Master Stations according to the

T568B standard.

To connect more than one NC415AV Master Station to each

port, use a CT400P5 splitter at any point along the master station

cabling run.

Figure 10 - T568B Standard Wiring

Much like room controllers, each NC415AV Master Station must also be assigned a unique address (0,

1, or 2) using the DIP switch on the rear of the master. The NC120 CE Module will automatically assign

a master name (e.g., 01M1) to each master. This name can be changed in the LS450 Config Tool soft-

ware.

Figure 11 - NC415AV Master Station Connections

Installation

Up to six NC415AV Master Stations may be connected to a single NC120 CE. Connect up to three mas-

ters to each 8P8C jack labeled master station on the front of the NC120 CE.

Multicolor Zone Dome

If desired, a zone dome light (part number LI484P5) may be connected to the NC415AV Master Station

using the 6P6C jack on the back. The zone dome light will illuminate whenever a call is present on the

connected master station.

Note: Using a LI484P5 reduces the maximum number of NC415AVs on the module.

Use CAT5 or better cabling to connect the LI484P5 to the NC415AV Master Station and wire the 6P6C

with a straight-through configuration. Do not exceed 50 feet of cabling for dome light connection.

Connect Data Bus Wiring

Before connecting the data bus wiring to the NC120 CEModule, check the data bus wiring for shorts.

Connect the positive wire in the data bus cable to the positive terminal on the NC120 CEModule port

and the negative wire in the data bus cable to the negative terminal on the NC120 CEModule using the

included plugs.

Note which station run gets plugged into which CE module port. This information will be needed when

setting up the system configuration.

Connect Master Bus Wiring

Connect the master bus cabling to the ports on the right side of the NC120 Central Equipment Module.

Keep a record of the locations of master stations and their automatically assigned names. Once the sys-

tem is powered on for the first time, go to each master station on the system and touch the Menu button

on the home screen, then touch the This Master button that appears. The top of the screen will display

the default name of the master station. Note this information, as well as the actual location of the master

station for use during system configuration.

If more than one NC415AV Master Station is installed on a master bus run, use a CT400P5 splitter to

provide multiple connections to a single master bus port. Set the EOL resistor DIP switch on the last

NC415AV Master Station on the cable run to ON as shown in Figure 4 on page 13.

Networking Multiple NC120 CE Modules

If multiple CE modules are to be networked together, use the DIP switches on the face of the CE mod-

ules to set unique module IDs for each CE module as discussed in The NC120 Central Equipment Mod-

ule on page 10. Once each CE module has been assigned a unique address, connect the CE modules to

each other using the Ethernet jacks on the left side using CAT5 or better cabling terminated using 8P8C

connectors using the T568B standard.

Maximum cable length is 100 meters (328 feet). Extend this distance by placing NC554/8 network

switches every 100 meters. Use NC556 Fiber to Ethernet Converters to extend this distance up to 1,200

meters over a fiber optic connection.

Once the CE modules are networked together, proceed to the Configuration Setup section.
