1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW Touchsafe Pro Telecare Receivers (TCR’s) provide the interface between Telecare radio devices and the Nursecall system. A maximum of 32 TCR’s can be installed per site. All TCR’s require connection to the Master Panel (ID1) RS485 data bus and a separate 12V DC battery backed power supply. Multiple PSU’s may be required on large installations. Note: if AVI’s are installed then TCR’s can be powered from the AVI PSU’s provided care is taken not to exceed the PSU rating. An extensive range of Telecare devices are available to personalize the Nursecall system to specific needs of staff and patients. For personal wellbeing there are devices to detect falls, bed occupancy, chair occupancy, wandering, personal attack and epilepsy. For environmental monitoring there are devices to detect smoke, heat, gas, carbon monoxide, flood and high/low room temperatures. Please contact Aidcall customer services for full details of all devices available and there applications. Doc No. FM5565 issue B Page 2 ...

6. TCR INSTALLATION The total number and positioning of the TCR’s will be determined by site conditions; a typical indoor radio range of 75 metres radius can be expected. See the building plan below with 2 TCR’s giving full coverage; TCR’s give approx. 75 metres TCR 1 radius radio coverage TCR 2 Construction materials such as foil backed plasterboard, reinforced concrete or stone walls will reduce range. Environmental conditions such as high levels of transmission at nearby frequencies or emissions from other electrical equipment may further reduce range. Clear line‐of‐sight will give best range. RS485 BUS It is important that the RS485 data bus wiring network is connected in one continuous “daisy‐chain” through all TCR’s (plus optional Master Panel RFE and AVI’s) installed on the scheme… Master Panel Ext RFE Multiple AVI’s/TCR’s Last TCR ...

6. TCR INSTALLATION SITE WIRING TCR’s require a power and data connection on a 2 pair bus cable. The data connection must be taken from the RS485 Port on the Master Display Panel (ID 1) and is common to all TCR’s (and AVI’s) on the site. Up to 4 TCR’s can be powered from a 12V DC 1A battery backed PSU. TCR 1 TCR 2 TCR 3 TCR 4 Battery Backed 12V/1A PSU Local Mains Supply Power Cable 4 TCR’s can be powered per 12V/1A PSU ‐ max cable length 400 metres Up to 32 TCR’s can be fitted per site – these should be split over multiple power legs with a maximum of 4 TCR’s on 400 metres cable length per leg. The RS485 data must be connected in one continuous leg from the Master Panel (ID 1) – cable length should not exceed 1200 metres. ...
