ProCare 6000 Operation Manual
Auxiliary calls are placed by auxiliary monitor equipment that is either connected to the
patient station through a call cord adapter (see pages 4-25 and 4-26), or connected to an
auxiliary station that is wired to the patient station's auxiliary inputs (see page 4-16).
Each patient station's auxiliary inputs can be individually assigned to a particular type
of device as needed. See Assigning Station Auxiliaries or Station Prime Auxiliaries on
page 2-20.
Auxiliary calls are placed automatically when the auxiliary monitor equipment connected
to a station generates an alarm condition. When an auxiliary call is placed, this happens:
The call appears at the base master and the video display (if present), and flashes at
•
any activated system monitoring station.
A tone sounds at the base master, at any staff/duty stations, and at any activated system
•
monitoring stations.
The associated corridor lights flash at an assigned rate. See the Auxiliary Call Corridor
•
Light Flash Rates Chart on page 4-31.
Auxiliary calls are displayed and answered at the base master in the same manner as
other priority calls. See Answering a Call on page 2-2 of this manual.
When an auxiliary call is answered, it is automatically placed on reminder or it remains in
the call pending window, depending on system configuration. It can also be manually
placed on reminder. See Placing a Call on Reminder on page 2-16. If manually or auto-
matically placed on reminder, it will time out and reappear like other reminder recalls.
An auxiliary call can only be canceled by resetting the auxiliary equipment or resolving
the problem that caused the call. If the auxiliary equipment resets itself, the call will
self-cancel.
