    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.

  • Page 5: Product Overview

    The rear of the room controller contains a 14-pin header. Pins 1-12 are used in pairs for station connections, and pins 13 and 14 are used to connect the room controller to the Tek-CARE120 data bus. The LI122 annunciates high priority calls with red LEDs and low priority calls with white LEDs.
  • Page 6 The SF122 Patient Station is a dual-jack version of the SF121. SF123 2-Button Pull-Cord Station: Used to place a variety of calls on the Tek-CARE120 system. The SF123 uses interchangeable inserts depending on the desired function of the station. The SF123 is most commonly used as an Emergency station, but can be easily configured for Bath, Code Blue, and Emergency 2 calls.
  • Page 7 The in-use LED on the key switch indicates that the ward’s staff station and emergency switches are on. SF125 Duty Station: Used to alert staff to pending Tek-CARE120 sys- tem calls. The duty station is installed in areas where call annunciation is needed, but the full functionality of a master station is not.

    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 9 Installation Installation Concerns When installing the Tek-CARE120 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 26: Configuration Setup

    About Points The most important concept of the Tek-CARE120 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 27 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 Connect Stations on page 17.
