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.
Page 5: Product Overview
Multiple CE modules may be networked together to create a larger system. NC415G3 Master Station: The NC415G3 Master Station is a touchscreen master station that is used to interact with the Tek-CARE160 system. The NC415G3 Master Station displays calls from the Tek-CARE160 system and provides limited programming and configuration ability for the Tek- CARE160 system.
Page 6 SF121. SF123 Customizable 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 function of the sta- tion.

The SF126DC can be mounted individually or with another SF120 peripheral, depending on the application. © IL1024 Tek-CARE160 Installation Manual Copyright TekTone Sound and Signal Mfg., Inc.

Page 8: 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 Cus- tom installation. One-to-One A one-to-one installation strategy involves installing a single LI122UN 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 9 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 11: The Nc160 Central Equipment Module
Installation The NC160 Central Equipment Module The NC160 Central Equipment Module contains all necessary connections for the Tek-CARE160 hardware as well as the backup batteries for the system. The NC160 CE Module is designed to be mounted in a stand- ard 19" server rack using included CL120RM brackets. Modules may also be desk-mounted and stacked.
Page 12 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 LI122UN Room Controllers.
Page 13 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 con- nected to port 1, one NC415G3/NC404TS Master Station could connect audio to room 100 and another NC415G3/NC404TS Master Station could connect audio to room 111.
Page 15 Once the points have been reassigned, answering calls or dialing each Station ID will only open audio at the IR160 that is associated with that Station ID. © IL1024 Tek-CARE160 Installation Manual Copyright TekTone Sound and Signal Mfg., Inc. All Rights Reserved...
Page 16: 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 accept- able. See the table below for details.
Page 18 Station ID. Addressing Room Controllers and Default Behavior The Tek-CARE160 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.
Page 19: Connect Stations
The point connections are arranged +-, +-, etc., with each group of +- connections making up one point. Points Table Figure 7 - Single Patient Station Default Room © IL1024 Tek-CARE160 Installation Manual Copyright TekTone Sound and Signal Mfg., Inc. All Rights Reserved...
Page 20 This provides the simplest software configuration option, but other installation strategies are available. In a one-to-one installation, connect the stations to the room controller according to the Points Table on page © 20|IL1024 Tek-CARE160 Installation Manual Copyright TekTone Sound and Signal Mfg., Inc.

Page 30: Configuration Setup
About Points The most important concept of the Tek-CARE160 system are the points on the LI122UN 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 31: Configure An Autodetect Configuration
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...

On the splashscreen, choose the IP address of the Tek-CARE160 sys- tem on the left and select New Default Configuration on the right. The default configuration will be loaded into the LS450 ConfigTool software.
Page 38 From the assigned Station menu, select the Station ID and click the Apply button. Editing Hardware Behaviors By default, the Tek-CARE160 system generates Routine calls from SF121s and SF122s, and Code, Bath, Emergency, and Emergency 2 calls from SF123s, depending on the function selected in the points list.
Page 39 Behavior: drop-down list and click Apply. Calls generated by the Station ID that was edited will now generate call types according to the assigned hardware behavior.

Page 41: 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 42 Figure 28 - 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 43: Using The Tek-Care160 System
Placing and Resetting Calls Residents or patients 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.
