All systems using radio and network communication are subject to interference beyond the user’s control. Products from CareTech are designed to minimise the impact of such interference. Nevertheless, the user must be aware that system components can be subjected to interference or other influences that may cause malfunction.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS CareIP is a digital alarm unit that uses SIP protocol for communication. SIP is a standard protocol for transfer of speech and video over broadband connections. If CareIP are connected to a ”Firewall” following UDP ports must be open for outgoing traffic.
The default setting for each alarm sequence list is: contact 1 -> contact 2 -> contact 3 -> ….. contact 10. When an alarm is activated, CareIP first checks which call sequence shall be used, after that CareIP calls the alarm receivers according to the programmed order in the call sequence until the alarm is acknowledged or the maximum number of call attempts is reached.
Green button is used for resetting the inactivity alarm (activity button). • Activation of any alarm input on CareIP. If an input is programmed to transmit alarm type 12 (Reset) the units alarm function will not be activated, only the timer for the inactivity alarm will be reset.
5.10 Intruder alarm CareIP can be used as an intruder Alarm Centre. The intruder alarms can be connected/disconnected using a radio button that disconnects the alarm when pressed briefly and connects it when pressed for approx. 4 sec. ERIK/ELLIOT radio-alarm button has two buttons that on can be programmed for intruder alarm ON and OFF.
‘Intruder alarm OFF’ after the alarm has been disconnected from the emergency service center. In the event of an intruder alarm, the CareIP calls according to chosen call sequence. An audible signal will only be given via the speaker after a successful call has been completed.
6.1 Connection The CareIP is connected to the broadband/network via the network cable. CareIP shall always be connected to the network as near incoming broadband as possible to avoid other equipment to affects the function. Power is supplied via the power supply from a wall socket •...
6.2.1 Inputs The unit has four inputs that can be programmed to generate an alarm with selected alarm type when connected/disconnected from the units GND (NC/NO). Switch connected between terminal 6 (GND) and terminal 1 (input 1) 6.2.2 Output 1, relay output The relay output on the unit can be used for activation of e.g.
6.2.4 Output 3, connection to hearing loop systems Output 3 on the unit can be used for connection to a hearing loop system to amplify the audio for persons with hearing impairment. Designed for loop amplifiers with a 5-10kΩ microphone- or line input. The installation should be adjusted and verified with a FSM field strength meter according to IEC 60118-4.
The signal strength will be stated as a value between 0 and 31, the value shall exceed 15 for proper functionality. If the value is less than 15 CareIP shall be relocated to an area with better GSM reception or the antenna should be replaced by an antenna with better performance.
3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 NOTE! In case PoE is used as power supply for CareIP, no battery for backup power can be mounted in the unit. In this case the backup power must be integrated in the PoE system.
• Hold down the green button approx. four sec. until the green ON LED starts flashing. • Press the button on the radio pendant. When CareIP receives the radio signal a tone signal is played. Repeat this in all areas where the alarm shall function.
Depending on network conditions and other this can take up to one minute. Monitoring of the unit is done by that CareIP sends a ”Heartbeat” (activity message) to the i-care online server. These messages contain for example information about power failure and when power is restored.
7.4 Local programming Local programming of the CareIP can be done with a computer and software CareTech CS2. To be able to program and read out the CareIP settings must ”Service Mode” be activated (see section Service mode). To connect against CareIP the unit and the computer must be connected to the same network and the IP address for the unit must be known.
Red button Red button to connect against CareTech’s update server and download the latest firmware speech images.(Note: There must be a new configuration for the unit posted on the server and CareIP must have internet access for this to work).
• Exit Exit Exit Exit – Use Red button Red button Red button to exit Service Mode (CareIP automatically exits Service Red button Mode 40 sec. after latest key press). 7.5.3 Navigate in Service Mode Activate Service Mode 4 Seconds --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”Service Mode”...
Following settings can be programmed in CareIP 7.6.1 IP settings Network settings for CareIP. DHCP-client Yes = CareIP is automatically assigned an IP address from the network. No = the network uses static IP addresses. Default value: Yes Netmask Netmask for the network (Default value: 255.255.255.0) Standard-gateway Gateway address (Default value: 0.0.0.0)

Address to i-Care Care Management server TFTP activation Activation of TFTP for programming of CareIP, this function is normally only activated when you enter ”Service Mode” on the unit. This function should only be used if the unit is connected in a local network.
SIP - Display name The information presented in the display if alarm is sent to a SIP telephone. SIP - User name CareIP contact URI SIP - Authentication name User name for authentication against Proxy/Registrar server (assigned by the server administrator)
7.6.3 GSM/GPRS settings Settings for GSM/GPRS GSM - Pin Code Pin code for SIM card. GSM - Access Point Name Address to the Network operators access point. (Activates GPRS – Data communication for i-care online remote administration) GSM - Authentication Type Type of authentication against the network operator.
7.6.4 Alarm handling Settings for contacts call sequences and alarm types. Contact 1-10 Address or telephone no. for each contact and what protocol is used for alarm transfer. SIP = Alarm against SIP telephone, identified by speech message. CIP = Alarm against digital Alarm Centre/Gateway, identified through alarm code and alarm type.
Microphone volume Adjustable in five steps (0-4) (Default value: 2) Answer incoming calls with alarm button Allows answering on incoming calls with radio trigger or red button on CareIP. Electable: Yes/No (Default value: No) Pre alarm Time that CareIP waits before call out after that an alarm is activated.

With call back after alarm means that after an alarm is received by an Alarm Centre it is possible to call up the CareIP that automatically answers on incoming calls and establish a speech connection when pressing ”4” on the phone. CareIP answers on incoming calls during the programmed call back-time.

If not a proper disconnection command is received the alarm will be called out again. Electable: Yes/No (Default value: No) Reassurance indication CareIP will emit a tone signal (every fifth second) until the alarm is speech connected. Electable: Yes/No (Default value: No) Home/Away function Activation of the Home/Away functions for inactivity alarm.
