1.0 Introducing the MiCare Nurse Call
and Emergency System
This chapter gives you a brief introduction to the MiCare Nurse Call and
Emergency System, its application, and the types of devices that make up the
Nurse Call and Emergency System.
In this chapter you will find:
•Overview of the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System

Introducing the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System
1.1 Overview of the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System
The MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System from Mircom is an advanced nurse call
solution that couples wireless mesh networking technology with ultrasonic signalling to
accurately identify and respond to emergency events. To achieve this, the Nurse Call and
Emergency System uses the highly reliable 802.15.4 wireless network. This network
technology provides a self-forming, self-healing mesh type transport when routing messages
to and from the Nurse Call and Emergency System Central server.
There are three types of devices that make up the Nurse Call and Emergency System:
•Coordinators: Coordinators connect to the Nurse Call and Emergency System Central
server through a USB connection. They communicate on the 802.15.4 wireless network
but are not programmed with the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System firmware.
Their sole purpose is to transport messages back and forth between the Central server
and the routers on the 802.15.4 wireless network.
•Routers: Routers communicate with the Central server through the coordinators on the
Nurse Call and Emergency System. They are programmed with the MiCare Nurse Call
and Emergency System application firmware. Routers also listen for messages from
end devices on the system, which they then pass on to the Central server. Finally,
routers come with ultrasound transmitters that are used to locate portable MiCare end
devices.
•End Devices: End devices send messages about their status wirelessly to the 802.15.4
network. They do not communicate directly with the Central server. Their messages are
instead passed on to the Central server through a router on the network. End devices
are not programmed with the Nurse Call and Emergency System application firmware.
Figure 1 shows a typical Nurse Call and Emergency System installation in a two-bed suite.
This installation includes examples of both routers and end devices.
Table 1 Devices in the Nurse Call and Emergency System

Introducing the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System
Coordinators are usually installed in a server room with the Central server.
Each nurse station has a computer with a browser connected to the Dashboard application on
the Central server. The Dashboard application shows alerts that are raised by MiCare devices
and plays an audible indication to notify nurses of alerts. Speakers must be installed on all
computers running Dashboard.
This manual contains information on how to install the routers, end devices, and coordinators
that make up the Nurse Call and Emergency System.
For information on how to configure the Nurse Call and Emergency System, see LT-2075, the
MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System Administrator’s Guide.

3.4 Dome Lights and Generic Outputs
The Patient Unit supports the following connections for outputs:
•Dome lights: there are 4 powered outputs for an external 4-light dome light - see Figure
13. Mircom supplies the NC-4LED Corridor Light. Other dome lights are available
through third party manufacturers.
•Generic outputs: these are 4 generic dry-contact outputs to activate either normally
open or normally closed external devices - see Figure 15
3.4.1 Connecting Third Party Dome Lights
Dome lights connect to terminal CN16, a 5-position screw down block. There are 4 live outputs
and a common return for a 5-wire 4-light interface (see Figure 13). These relays are limited to
500 mA maximum each.
Figure 13 Dome light connections on terminal CN16
Wire dome lights by connecting each light to its active output and to the common return.
Note: The outputs for the dome lights on CN16 are tied to the generic outputs on CN13.
If, for example, you activate output 1, output 1 on CN13 and output 1 on CN16
both become active. For information on how to activate outputs, see the Rules
chapter in LT-2075, the MiCare Nurse Call and Emergency System
Administrator’s Guide.

3.4.2 Connecting NC-4LED
The NC-4LED corridor light has six wires.
Note: Third part dome light manufacturers may use low current LEDs or higher current
incandescent lamps. LED dome lights typically range from 5 to 50 mA each, and
incandescent lamps typically range from 50 to 250 mA each. The dome light
relays (CN16) supply up to 500 mA each. Ensure that the dome lights do not
exceed 500 mA each (total of 2.0 A for 4 dome lights).
When calculating the power supply requirements for the Patient Unit, you must
include the power requirements for the dome lights.
For example, with four 24 V incandescent light bulbs at 250 mA each, the
following input currents are drawn by the Patient Unit (at 24 VDC output):
• Patient Unit maximum current: 25 mA
• 4 dome lights on: 1000 mA
In this example, use a power supply rated at 1.25 A or more.
See section 3.8, Power, on page 27 for more information on power connections.

Figure 20 External ultrasonic emitter terminal CN14
3.8 Power
The Patient Unit requires 24VDC for power. The maximum input current for the Patient Unit is
2.025 A, of which the dome lights are the major contributor. When you are calculating the
power supply current requirements for the Patient Unit, you must add the following together:
1. Patient Unit maximum current: 25 mA
2. The maximum current for your dome lights (check with dome light manufacturer). The
dome light relays are limited to 2.0 A maximum (4 relays x 500 mA per relay).
The sum of 1 and 2 must not exceed 2.025 A and must be less than the maximum current
output of your power supply.
Note: Do not overtighten the screw terminals.
Notes: When using the RB-MD-990 power supply to power more than one device,
calculate the total amount of current required for all devices connected—Patient
Units along with their dome lights—so as not to exceed the power output of the
power supply or the power ratings for any connectors.

whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this document shall NOT be
construed as in any way altering the rights and obligations of the parties, governed by the legal
documents that apply in any given circumstance.
2. Application. The warnings contained in this document apply to all Mircom System and shall
be read in conjunction with:
a. the product manual for the specific Mircom System that applies in given circumstances;
b. legal documents that apply to the purchase and sale of a Mircom System, which may
include the company’s standard terms and conditions and warranty statements;
c. other information about the Mircom System or the parties’ rights and obligations as may
be application to a given circumstance.
3. Security and Insurance. Regardless of its capabilities, no Mircom System is a substitute for
property or life insurance. Nor is the system a substitute for property owners, renters, or other
occupants to act prudently to prevent or minimize the harmful effects of an emergency
situation. Building automation systems produced by the Mircom Group of Companies are not
to be used as a fire, alarm, or life-safety system.
NOTE TO INSTALLERS:
All Mircom Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However,
there are circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system
failure include the following. As the only individual in contact with system users, please bring
each item in this warning to the attention of the users of this Mircom System. Failure to
properly inform system end-users of the circumstances in which the system might fail may
result in over-reliance upon the system. As a result, it is imperative that you properly inform
each customer for whom you install the system of the possible forms of failure:
4. Inadequate Installation. All Mircom Systems must be installed in accordance with all the
applicable codes and standards in order to provide adequate protection. National standards
require an inspection and approval to be conducted by the local authority having jurisdiction
following the initial installation of the system and following any changes to the system. Such
inspections ensure installation has been carried out properly.
5. Inadequate Testing. Most problems that would prevent an alarm a Mircom System from
operating as intended can be discovered by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested by the local authority having jurisdiction immediately after a fire,
storm, earthquake, accident, or any kind of construction activity inside or outside the premises.
62
Warranty and Warning Information
The testing should include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
NOTE TO USERS:
All Mircom Systems have been carefully designed to be as effective as possible. However,
there are circumstances where they may not provide protection. Some reasons for system
failure include the following. The end user can minimize the occurrence of any of the following
by proper training, testing and maintenance of the Mircom Systems:
6. Inadequate Testing and Maintenance. It is imperative that the systems be periodically
tested and subjected to preventative maintenance. Best practices and local authority having
jurisdiction determine the frequency and type of testing that is required at a minimum. Mircom
System may not function properly, and the occurrence of other system failures identified below
may not be minimized, if the periodic testing and maintenance of Mircom Systems is not
completed with diligence and as required.
7. Improper Operation. It is important that all system users be trained in the correct operation
of the alarm system and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an alarm.
A Mircom System may not function as intended during an emergency situation where the user
is unable to operate a panic or emergency switch by reason of permanent or temporary
physical disability, inability to reach the device in time, unfamiliarity with the correct operation,
or related circumstances.
8. Insufficient Time. There may be circumstances when a Mircom System will operate as
intended, yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their inability to
respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is monitored, the response may not
occur in time enough to protect the occupants or their belongings.
9. Carelessness or Safety Hazards. Moreover, smoke detectors may not provide timely
warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent
explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical
circuits or children playing with matches or arson.
10. Power Failure. Some Mircom System components require adequate electrical power supply
to operate. Examples include: smoke detectors, beacons, HVAC, and lighting controllers. If a
device operates only by AC power, any interruption, however brief, will render that device
inoperative while it does not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often
accompanied by voltage fluctuations which may damage Mircom Systems or other electronic
equipment. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately conduct a complete system
test to ensure that the system operates as intended.
11. Battery Failure. If the Mircom System or any device connected to the system operates from
batteries it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even if the batteries have not failed, they must be
fully charged, in good condition, and installed correctly. Some Mircom Systems use
replaceable batteries, which have a limited life-span. The expected battery life is variable and
in part dependent on the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as
high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the
expected battery life. Moreover, some Mircom Systems do not have a battery monitor that
would alert the user in the event that the battery is nearing its end of life. Regular testing and
replacements are vital for ensuring that the batteries function as expected, whether or not a
device has a low-battery monitor.
12. Physical Obstructions. Motion sensors that are part of a Mircom System must be kept clear
of any obstacles which impede the sensors’ ability to detect movement. Signals being
communicated by a Mircom System may not reach the receiver if an item (such as metal,
water, or concrete) is placed on or near the radio path. Deliberate jamming or other
inadvertent radio signal interference can also negatively affect system operation.
63
Warranty and Warning Information
13. Wireless Devices Placement Proximity. Moreover all wireless devices must be a minimum
and maximum distance away from large metal objects, such as refrigerators. You are required
to consult the specific Mircom System manual and application guide for any maximum
distances required between devices and suggested placement of wireless devices for optimal
functioning.
14. Failure to Trigger Sensors. Moreover, Mircom Systems may fail to operate as intended if
motion, heat, or smoke sensors are not triggered.
a. Sensors in a fire system may fail to be triggered when the fire is in a chimney, walls, roof,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect smoke
or heat from fires on another level of the residence or building. In this situation the
control panel may not alert occupants of a fire.
b. Sensors in a nurse call system may fail to be triggered when movement is occurring
outside of the motion sensors’ range. For example, if movement is occurring on the other
side of closed doors or on another level of the residence or building the motion detector
may not be triggered. In this situation the central controller may not register an alarm
signal.
15. Interference with Audible Notification Appliances. Audible notification appliances may be
interfered with by other noise sources such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners,
appliances, or passing traffic. Audible notification appliances, however loud, may not be heard
by a hearing-impaired person.
16. Other Impairments. Alarm notification appliances such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes
may not warn or waken a sleeping occupant if there is an intervening wall or door. It is less
likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened when notification appliances are located
on a different level of the residence or premise.
17. Software Malfunction. Most Mircom Systems contain software. No warranties are provided
as to the software components of any products or stand-alone software products within a
Mircom System. For a full statement of the warranties and exclusions and limitations of
liability please refer to the company’s standard Terms and Conditions and Warranties.
18. Telephone Lines Malfunction. Telephone service can cause system failure where telephone
lines are relied upon by a Mircom System. Alarms and information coming from a Mircom
System may not be transmitted if a phone line is out of service or busy for a certain period of
time. Alarms and information may not be transmitted where telephone lines have been
compromised by criminal tampering, local construction, storms or earthquakes.
19. Component Failure. Although every effort has been made to make this Mircom System as
reliable as possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
20. Integrated Products. Mircom System might not function as intended if it is connected to a
non-Mircom product or to a Mircom product that is deemed non-compatible with a particular
Mircom System. A list of compatible products can be requested and obtained.
