  • Page 9: System Layout Options

    NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish 1.2 System Layout Options Nexus uses a proprietary wireless format to direct signals from call points and sensory devices to a nurse station, where calls are displayed on the main Nexus panel. Once received, this panel can direct messaging to staff using either a paging transmitter or a local WiFi network, where messages can be displayed on Remote displays, pagers or Android phones.
  • Page 10: Receiver Dongle & Dome Lights

    1.2.1 Receiver Dongle & Over-Door Lights Rondish Over-door lights (ILB-21) receive local signals from a variety of calling units, and can either be configured as lights/sounder by reading into memory the calling unit, or set up to just extend the system coverage without any local alarm.
  • Page 11: Master & Network Repeaters

    NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish 1.2.2 Master & Network Repeaters Medium to Large systems can be set up using a Master (ZP-01(M)) and Network Repeater (ZP-01(S)) configuration. The advantage of this system over LoRa is higher speed and larger RF coverage. This allows for a network to be put together inside the building and the system networked using hops if required to extend the range.
  • Page 12: Messaging Through Paging Transmitter

    NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish 1.2.3 Messaging through Paging Transmitter The Nexus display panel can be programmed to send signals to the pagers/displays using POCSAG codes (Refer to GP2009TR UI for details of configuring transmitters and setting capcodes). The paging transmitter can be connected to the USB port on the NDP-21 docking station (See Section 2.1.1), allowing...
  • Page 13: Messaging Through Wifi

    NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish This setup is applicable where the local WiFi is unavailable but the user prefers a mobile phone and computer based remote displays. In this case the remote displays can be Tablets or Android based displays with a paging receiving dongle. The mobile phone app (Samsung phone recommended) can be added providing the Nexus console is connected to the internet and uses the cloud and local GSM network.

    DON-30, ZP-01(M), Paging transmitter, touch screen monitor. In addition, Rondish will soon have a local point to point WiFi link to an NDP-21, which will allow the NDP- 21 to be placed freely within a room and the NCON-11 placed outside in the corridor, thereby increasing the coverage and making the system very flexible.
  • Page 15: General Operation

    NEXUS CALL SYSTEM by Rondish 1.3 General Operation Nexus follows general accepted principles of a nurse call system as described in the UL and HTM-08 standards. Patient calls should be reset at location by the nurse or caregiver as soon as can reasonably be achieved.
