TekTone NC377/64 Voltage Interface

TekTone NC377/64 Nurse Call Voltage Interface

TekTone NC377/64 Voltage Interface is used with the Tek-ALERT® Alert Integration Manager to connect switched-voltage analog systems to the Tek-ALERT® system. Tek-ALERT® enables advanced features such as consolidated event monitoring, management reporting, and paging for all connected systems. TekTone's Tek-CARE® NC110, NC150, and NC200 Nurse Call Systems, as well as a variety of non-TekTone systems, use the voltage interface to communicate with the Tek-ALERT® system. The voltage interface recognizes three states: off, steady on, and flashing. It can connect systems with input voltages from 5V to 50V, AC or DC.

The NC377-series Voltage Interface can also integrate TekTone's Tek-CARE® NC110, NC150, and NC200 Nurse Call Systems directly with the NC365B Paging Transmitter. In this configuration, the voltage interface connects directly to the nurse call master. The NC377-series Voltage Interface sends nurse call priority information through a serial port to the NC365B Paging Transmitter. The transmitter then sends this information to the pagers, allowing staff to distinguish between call priority levels.

The voltage interface is available in two configurations: the NC377/32 accommodates 32 inputs, while the NC377/64 accommodates up to 64 inputs. Up to 9 total NC377/64 units can be connected to the NC365B Paging Transmitter to accommodate up to 576 inputs. The maximum cable distance from the first NC377-series unit to the last unit is 1,000 feet.
