Page 4: Introduction And Overview
828.524.9967. Choose Option 3 for Technical Support. 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"...
Page 5: Product Overview
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.
Page 6 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.
Page 7: Installation
Test the Tek-CARE120 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-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.
Page 8 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 ©...
Page 10: The Nc120 Central Equipment Module
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.
Page 11 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.
Page 12: Wiring Installation
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.
Page 13 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.
Page 14 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.

CE modules. About Points The most important concept of the Tek-CARE120 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 22: 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-CARE120 configuration. The first and simplest method requires sta- tions to be wired to the room controllers as shown in Figure 1 on page 1.
Page 24 Figure 15 - Tools 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 25 Add Multiple: Used to add multiple records to the Tek-CARE system at once. This is especially useful for adding RF pagers with consecutive CAP codes to the configuration.
