The Innovaphone VoIP gateway is an IP based gateway providing the VoIP based solution which supports all the features of a traditional PBX. For the teleCARE IP VoIP the SIP Trunk must be used for the interface to the main PBX. The SIP trunk must be set to “Early offer”.For more information refer to the teleCARE IP Configuration Manual TD 93019US.
TD 93021US Practical Engineering Parameters In order to ensure the optimal performance of a teleCARE IP system it is important to consider certain parameters and limitations. The following tables show the most important practical values which can have an influence on the teleCARE IP system performance.
TD 93021US VoIP Requirements (Supplementary) VoIP Considerations The Innovaphone VoIP gateway version 10 (or later) is required for teleCARE IP with speech, as the interface to the PBX. An interoperability test between the VoIP gateway and main PBX must be performed.
TD 93021US System LAN Cabling Ethernet Switch The 8-port Ethernet Switch, Ascom part number APS5001, shall be used with the teleCARE IP system and can be purchased through Ascom. WARNING: Use of any Ethernet Switch other than Ascom part number APS5001 violates the UL 2560 listing.
Ethernet LAN and Room Bus Cables High quality cables must be used to install the teleCARE IP system. The individual wire cores of the cables should be color coded. Care should be taken when stripping cables from the outer mantle to avoid damaging the insulation of the wire cores.
Page 13
3.2.2 Room Bus Cable The room bus cable connects the room controller to the associated teleCARE IP peripherals. It consists of four wires which carry 5.5 volts, Data, Voice and Ground. The recommended cable for the room bus is TIA/IEA 568-A Category 5 or higher. It is also acceptable to use 2 x twisted pairs of solid copper wires each 20 AWG (0.8mm).
Page 14
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US When UTP category 5 cable (or higher) is used the length of any room bus cable should not exceed 98.4ft (30m), irrespective of the load. Below 98.4ft (30m), the maximum acceptable length of the room bus cable depends on the load.
There is a built-in charger to charge sealed lead acid batteries. The batteries provide the Secondary Power to the teleCARE IP system in the event of mains AC power failure. There is an automatic switchover to the batteries when input AC power fails. During switchover, there is zero voltage drop at the power output.
Page 16
4.1.2 Power Supply (Standard) Operation and Maintenance The teleCARE IP Standard Power Supply should be tested at least once a year for proper operation. Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level, which is 24Vdc for the teleCARE IP system.

Board or, power cycle the HPFF8 OFF/ON. Secondary Power Secondary Power for the teleCARE IP system shall be provided by two lead acid Batteries installed in the primary power supply. The batteries are each rated for 12Vdc, 7 ampere hours (AH) and can be purchased through an electrical supplier such as Graybar.
Installation Guide teleCARE IP TD 93021US Power Supply Unit (24Vdc) with Multiple Power Buses The output of the power supply unit can be divided over multiple buses. This method is recommended as it will reduce the power cable lengths. Figure 6. Multiple power buses 4.5.1 Power Supply Basic Installation...
Other than battery replacements and Secondary Power testing at the power supply unit, periodic maintenance is typically not needed for the teleCARE IP Emergency Call System. • Always keep and refer to the installation and service instructions provided with the Ethernet Switch and the 24Vdc / 3 Amp Power Supply (Standard) or the 24Vdc / 8 Amp Power Supply (Seismic.)
