Figure 41: Call station with relay (shown without pull cord)
The model HC-PB2-CALLR call station has a latching relay that can
be used to start an elapsed timer, such as what is used on a cardiac
arrest clock. Other uses at your facility may include lighting dome
lights by patient bathrooms, releasing locks on intensive care unit
doors to provide easier access for emergency personnel, or
triggering automated announcements over a facility's loudspeaker
system.
Caution:
The relay contact is pulsed to flash the passive dome light.
This may not be appropriate for use with other devices.
