Page 4: Introduction And Overview
828.524.9967. Choose Option 3 for Technical Support. Overview The Tek-CARE160 system is a versatile system that can satisfy the needs of a wide range of facilities. At its core, the Tek-CARE160 system is a four-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"...
Page 5: Product Overview
Tek- CARE160 system. The NC404TS Master Station can display maps and calls from the Tek-CARE160 system and provides pro- gramming and configuration ability for the Tek-CARE160 system. The NC404TS uses a 22-inch LCD touchscreen to provide audible and visual annunciation of system calls.
Page 6 SF121. SF123 2-Button Pull-Cord Station: The SF123 station is used to place a variety of calls on the Tek-CARE160 system. The SF123 uses interchangeable inserts depending on the desired func- tion of the station. The SF123 is most commonly used as an Emer- gency station, but can be easily configured for Bath, Code Blue, and Emergency 2 calls.
Page 7: Installation
Test the Tek-CARE160 system. Back up the configuration and turn the system over to the facility. Types of Installation There are two types of installations available for the Tek-CARE160 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.
Page 8 Installation Installation Concerns When installing the Tek-CARE160 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.
Page 10: The Nc160 Central Equipment Module
Installation The NC160 Central Equipment Module The NC160 Central Equipment Module contains all the necessary connections for the Tek-CARE160 hardware as well as the backup batteries for the system. The NC160 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.
Page 11 The Tek-CARE160 Data Bus The Tek-CARE160 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 or room con- trollers.
Page 12 Installation Tek-CARE160 Installation Considerations Note that the audio bus on the Tek-CARE160 system is analog, and thus, only supports one concurrent audio connection per port. For example, if a facility has IR160 stations in rooms 100-110 connected to Port 0 and rooms 111-160 connected to port 1, one NC415AV/NC404TS Master Station could connect audio to Room 100 and another NC415AV/NC404TS Master Station could connect audio to room 111.
Page 14: Wiring Installation
64 controllers per 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 wiring are acceptable.
Page 16 (pin 14) on the room controller. Note: CAT5 cable is not recommended for use on the data bus of the Tek-CARE160 due to brittle con- ductors and difficulty in creating reliable crimp connections to larger gauge wire.

CE modules. About Points The most important concept of the Tek-CARE160 system are the points on the LI122-Series and PM120 Room Controllers. The points are the six physical connections on the rear of each controller, shown as points 1-6 in the configuration. In addition to the physical points, there are also two additional points present in the configuration, one for the red dome LED and one for the white dome LED.
Page 27: Using The Config Tool Programming Software
Disabled: If a point is marked as Disabled, the system does not look for station attachment at the point. Configuration Methods There are two ways to set up a Tek-CARE160 configuration. The first and simplest method requires sta- tions to be wired to the room controllers as shown in Figure 7 on page 17.
Page 29 Figure 20 - File Menu Tools: The Tools menu includes a number of options, most of which are used for different TekTone systems and integ- rations. NC300II Database Import can be used to import the Tek-CARE300II stations database as a foreign device or into the Tek-CARE400 System.

Page 42: Audio Adjustments
Audio Trim Pot The audio bus of the Tek-CARE160 system, like any other audio system, is susceptible to electronic noise induced by other building systems. Most of this noise can be removed by use of the trim pots on each audio bus port.
Page 43 Figure 32 - Station Audio Adjustment On the far right of the Details pane, note the Audio Settings section. Disregard the Duplex setting. It is not used on the Tek-CARE160 system. To affect the audio in the room, adjust the Speaker Volume up or down.
Page 44: Using The Tek-Care160 System
Using the Tek-CARE160 System Placing and Resetting Calls Residents may place calls on the Tek-CARE160 system by pressing the CALL button on SF121 and SF122 stations, or by pulling the call cord or pressing the CALL button on a SF123 station. Third party contacts attached to PM123 Aux Input Modules also trigger calls.
Page 45 If the selected station is set up as a zone dome light or includes a duty station and you wish to change its annunciation settings, touch the Annunciation button and choose the zones and call types that the selected station should annunciate for. © IL1024 Tek-CARE160 Installation Manual Copyright TekTone Sound and Signal Mfg., Inc.
