Addressing and Functional Configuration:

The network station address is set with a Rotary Switch labeled "MASTER ADDRESS". An NC-AN-16C-T
is designed to display the status of an NC-CM-16 Control Module while the NC-
AN-32C-T is designed to display 2 of the NC-CM-16 Control Modules. By setting
the rotary address switch on an NC-AN-16C-T to match the rotary address switch
on an NC-CM-16 they will share the same information. Setting the rotary switch
on an NC-AN-32C-T selects the first or lowest Master Address to be displayed.
Because each NC-CM-16 has 16 stations and the NC-AN-32C-T can display
twice that many, the right hand half of an NC-AN-32C-T will display the next NC-
CM-16 Control Module address in sequence from the address switch setting. Or
in other words the NC-AN-32C-T will display it's Master Address plus the next
Master Address.
The Address switch is only read when the processor is rebooted. To have any change of address take
effect the power must be cycled so that the address switch will be read.
Dip Switches are used to set the software Options in the NC-AN-16C & 32C-T Annunciators. The
switches shown are in the Default position. All Dip Switches are OFF when down and ON when up. The
switches labeled "OPT1", "OPT2", and "OPT3" are not active in the NC-AN-16C & 32C-T Annunciators.
These are reserved for the Clinic-Call Annunciator products.
The Tone associated with a call or station alert is programmed by the remaining dip switches:
TONE
R-1
R-2
R-3
R-4
Each NC-AN-16C-T has 16 White Lights to the left of each window and 16 White Lights to the
right of each window. How these lights react to incoming call is set by a three-position jumper on
the main board.
Disconnect power from the annunciator. Remove the plastic face cover of the unit.
Unplug the top display board from the main control board. You will see 3 jumpers, near the middle of the
board, P10, P11, P12.
Moving the jumper to P11 causes both lights to come on with any Code Blue, E-Call, or an N-Call
but the Code Blue will mask any other call and E-Call will mask an N-Call.
Moving the jumper to P12 turns the annunciator into a three-level call system and causes the left
light to become a Code Blue indicator with Super-Fast Flash and tone, while the right light
indicates N-Calls and E-Calls.
ON
OFF
This switch turns the tone unit ON when a steady light comes on. Any steady
light will sound a single 500 mS Beep and be followed by a reminder tone every
15-20 seconds until the light is turned off.
Activates the Tone associated with the Top Row of lights. If R-1 is OFF then no
Tone will sound with any top row lights. If the "TONE" switch is OFF and the R-1
switch is turned ON then a Repeating Tone will sound only with a Flashing light
in the Top Row. If the "TONE" switch is ON and the R-1 switch is on then there
will be a Repeating Tone with any Flashing light and a single Tone with a
reminder Tone on any Steady Light.
Activates the Tone associated with the Second Row of lights. All other functions
are the same as described for R-1 above.
Activates the Tone associated with the Third Row of lights. All other functions are
the same as described for R-1 above.
Activates the Tone associated with the Fourth Row of lights. All other functions
are the same as described for R-1 above.
