Page 3: What Is Quantec
WHAT IS QUANTEC? Quantec represents one of the biggest breakthroughs in call communication equipment for many years. It is a powerful yet easy to use addressable call system that puts the needs of its users (patients and staff) and the installer well and truly first. The way the system operates can be tailored to suit a building’s exact requirements with different day, night and call divert arrangements easily accommodated and, if required, simply changed at a later date. -
Page 4: System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION STANDARD CALLS To trigger a call, the user presses the ‘CALL’ button on a wall-mounted call point, pulls the cord of a ceiling pull unit or operates the remote CALL RESET button of a tail call lead. This causes the call point’s confidence light to pulse red slowly. -
Page 5: Day/Night Mode
Designated staff carry an infrared transmitter which they attach to their uniforms. When an attack takes place, they activate the transmitter by pressing one of its buttons or releasing its retained pull clip to fill the area with infrared signals (QT412RXA transmitters only). These signals are received by a special infrared call point or ceiling receiver which instantly informs Quantec that an attack is taking place. -
Page 6: Network Devices
NETWORK DEVICES Quantec’s network devices are small, discreet and designed to blend into any sort of decor. Up to 256 network devices can be used per system, each containing a non-volatile memory to store its unique address identification number. Network devices consist of Call Points, Displays, Monitoring Points, Infrared Ceiling Receivers, Radio Receivers and Addressable Overdoor Lights. -
Page 7: Displays
DISPLAYS Quantec’s displays scroll automatically and only show the calls which are the most urgent plus a message saying how many calls are waiting on that part of the system. Therefore, if there are no calls, the displays will show the time, then Staff Presence calls, Standard calls, Help Required calls, Emergency calls &... -

Addressable sounders can be used to increase sound levels in long corridors, outside communal areas, etc. QT606A ....Quantec Addressable Overdoor Light QT688 ....Quantec Addressable Sounder QUANTEC CONTROLLER The Quantec Controller supplies power to and controls the Quantec system. -
Page 9: Ancillary Devices
ANCILLARY DEVICES SLAVE OVERDOOR LIGHTS Slave overdoor lights comprise two red and two green ultra-bright LEDs inside a triangular diffuser. They offer low current consumption and connect to call points via four cores (Two cores are the same as the two network wires so connection to the network can be made at the overdoor light or the call point). -
Page 10: Portable Movement Detectors
PORTABLE MOVEMENT DETECTORS A simple to operate adjustable weight sensor which sits under the leg of a bed and connects to a call point’s remote socket via a jack plug. A call is triggered when the bed is vacated, thus alerting staff to the prospect of a wandering patient. -
Page 11: Planning An Installation
PLANNING AN INSTALLATION Although Quantec far exceeds the minimum requirements of all agencies, rules regarding installation may vary depending on the area of the country. If there is any doubt, please check with the relevant authorities/building management. The Quantec Controller can be located anywhere on the network although it is usually installed centrally to reduce wiring runs or in the manager/matron’s office. -
Page 12: Planning The Wiring
PLANNING THE WIRING Quantec can be compared to an analogue addressable fire alarm system where the integrity of the wiring is of paramount importance. However, with Quantec, a ‘star’ rather than a ‘loop’ wiring scheme is used. In order to allow the use of ordinary unscreened cables and reduce the risk of volt drop, the only method of wiring Quantec we recommend involves the use of ‘network splitters’... -
