VS-600 Resident Unit Manual A-1 A. Introduction This manual describes the VS-600 Resident Unit and the peripheral devices available for use with it. It explains the diagnostic procedures and programming steps that must be completed prior to installation. A.1 VS-600 Resident Unit Overview The VS-600 Resident Unit is designed to allow hands-free and two-way communication between the resident and an attendant. The Unit includes a Call Button to initiate calls to a designated administrative staff location, a Call Cancel Button, a Volume Control, and Menu and Activity Information Buttons. A built-in jack provides the ability to plug in a call cord, allowing the resident to remotely initiate a call from the bedside. Resident Unit (front view) The Unit is equipped with four status LEDs: Line, Activities, Menu, and Fault. The Line LED illuminates when a call is initiated from the unit. When it illuminates in conjunction with the Fault LED, it indicates a fault in the line. The Activities LED flashes when the Activities button is pressed, and the Menu LED flashes when the Menu button is pressed to confirm selection. The Fault LED illuminates and the unit signals a tone over the speaker to indicate a possible fault in the Unit or the need for battery replacement. The Unit can receive and decode signals from Wireless Pendants and Wireless Pull Cord Stations and initiate calls to a designated administrative staff location. Each Pendant and Pull Cord Station transmits a unique digital signal known only to the VS-600 Unit in the resident's room. This provides assurance as to the exact origin of the call. The VS-600 has a reception range of up to 50 feet (line of sight) from the Pendant or Pull Cord Station. The Unit has an input provision for the connection of an external call-in device such as a Wired Pull Cord Station, which provides call capabilities from resident bathrooms and showers. The input can be assigned to one of six priority levels to clearly identify the origin of the call and distinguish it from a cord call or a call initiated from the Unit’s call button. With the addition of a Dome Light Module, the Unit has the ability to connect to a Dome Light outside the resident's door, providing visual indication to staff of calls originating from the resident's room. The Dome Light consists of three individual and different-colored lamps that illuminate in distinct patterns to identify priority and the call-in device that the call originated from.
A-2 Introduction The Resident Unit is line powered from the single line station ports, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The Unit is designed for installation into a standard 3-gang electrical back box with 3-9/32" mounting centers. A.2 Overview of Peripheral Devices Described below are the peripheral devices that can function with the Resident Unit. Wireless Pendant The Wireless Pendant is worn by a VS-600 Resident user to allow him or her to move freely about a room yet have the ability to place a call. Calls are initiated by pressing a red call button on the Pendant. Wireless Pull Cord Station The Wireless Pull Cord Station offers the VS-600 Resident user the flexibility of being able to position a Pull Cord Station anywhere in the room. This makes it ideal for strategically positioning near furniture or in a bathroom or shower. It makes it a cost effective "Add on" to the system without costly installation or wiring upgrades. Calls are initiated by pulling on the nylon pull cord. A call assurance LED illuminates briefly and a soft tone sounds at the Station to confirm the placement of the call. The call can be canceled at the Station by pressing a cancel button. An illuminated LED and a tone at the Station confirm the cancellation of the call. The Wireless Pull Cord Station is suitable for surface mounting directly to a wall. No backbox or special mounting hardware is required. NC-C1 Call Cord A traditional Call Cord that plugs into the VS-600 Resident Unit to provide the convenience of being able to initiate a call remotely from a bedside. Wired Pull Cord Station The Wired Pull Cord Station provides call capabilities from resident bathrooms and showers. The Station connects to the input on the VS-600 Resident Unit. Calls are initiated by pulling on the Station’s nylon call cord, and annunciate at the attendant's telephone with a unique call priority. The call can be canceled at the Resident Unit or from the attendant's telephone.
VS-600 Resident Unit Manual A-3 NC1-LD3 Dome Light The Dome Light is typically located outside the door of a room containing a VS-600 Resident Unit to provide a visual indication of calls originating from within the room. When a resident initiates a call, a LED in the Dome Light illuminates. The Dome Light contains three LEDs with white, red and green filters. Each lamp color represents a different call type that originates from the Resident Unit’s call button or call cord, a Pull Cord Station, or a Pendant.
VS-600 Resident Unit Manual B-1 B. VS-600 Programming B.1 Resident Unit Diagnostic Procedure Before programming and installing a Resident Unit, its diagnostic procedure first must be completed. To run the diagnostic procedure, plug the battery pack onto the two-pin header labeled BATTERY. Once plugged in, the Unit should perform the following actions: 1. The four front LEDs and the Cancel button light up momentarily, then the line and fault LEDs flash and the unit beeps. This indicates that the battery is functioning and the unit has booted up properly. 2. The unit sounds three long beeps followed by three short beeps. This indicates that the unit has gone through the cancellation routine, which prepares the unit for standby mode. 3. The unit checks if a telephone line has been connected to the upper LINE jack, closest to the battery connector. After approximately five minutes, if a line still has not been connected, the line and fault LEDs will flash and the unit will sound three short beeps. Note: When the unit is in standby mode (idle, not in operation), it performs Diagnostic Check 3 every five minutes. In working mode (the unit is in operation), it performs Diagnostic Check 3 continuously. If all of the above actions have been performed, proceed with Resident Unit Programming section B.2. If the unit fails to perform the above actions, contact Telecor VS-Care Technical Support to request an RA.
B-2 VS-600 Programming B.2 Configuring the Resident Unit for Programming The VS-600 Resident Unit is programmed to operate in conjunction with the PBX using the Resident Unit configuration software. The Resident Unit programming cable (sold separately) plugs into the resident unit’s programming port and an available USB port of a PC running the Resident Unit configuration software. B.3 Using Resident Unit Configuration Software When a resident unit or peripheral device such as a call cord or pendant makes a call, the resident unit notifies the PBX what type of call device is making the call, and dials a number according to the type of device making the call. This information is configured in the resident unit configuration software and uploaded to the resident unit. The Resident Unit configuration software is an application that works with Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista® operating systems. The Resident Unit configuration program consists of five tabs: Options, Prog./Config., Wireless Tool, Log File, and Speech Param. The Options tab is further divided into Numbers, Supervision Numbers, and Misc (Miscellaneous) tabs. The Options, Prog./Config., and Speech Param. tabs contain settings for adjusting the behaviour of the resident unit. The Wireless Tool and Log File tabs are used to download and review operational information from the resident unit for troubleshooting.
VS-600 Resident Unit Manual B-3 B.3.1 Options Tab The Options Tab shows the configuration options of the resident unit. The options tab is split into two main areas: Set Number and Parameters. The Set Number area contains the dial strings, priority and dome light settings for each call device and for the menu and activities buttons. The Parameters area allows you to check the resident unit’s battery and internal clock. The Options Tab is subdivided into three tabs: Numbers, Supervision Numbers, and Misc. The Numbers Tab contains dial string, priority, and dome light settings for different call-in devices. The Supervision Numbers Tab contains dial strings for situations triggered from supervision. The Misc. tab contains dial string settings not covered in the previous tabs. Use the Options Tab when you want to change dome light assignments, call phone destinations, or call priorities. B.3.1.1 Numbers Tab The Numbers Tab contains the dial strings that the resident unit calls when a device makes a call-in. Options Tab, Numbers Tab Primary: The Primary boxes contain the primary dial string that the resident unit will call when a particular device makes a call-in. Secondary: The Secondary boxes contain the secondary or rollover dial string that the resident unit will call when a particular device makes a call-in and the primary contact does not answer. This number will only be dialed if the “Redial Primary num.” box is checked on the Prog./Config. tab. A dial string based on a required dial scheme must be entered into the Primary and Secondary boxes. For an explanation of a dial string example, refer to Creating Dial Strings, section B.5. Priority: A call device can be assigned a priority from 1 (highest) to 6 (lowest). For example, if a resident presses the call button, it dials the assigned phone number and alerts the destination. If the resident then triggers a higher-priority device, such as a call pendant, the call from the call
B-4 VS-600 Programming button will be cancelled because of its lower priority, and the higher-priority device will dial its assigned number. Note: When a call device is triggered, there will be a delay of approximately five seconds before the destination is alerted. If the resident activates a higher priority device within five seconds of activating a lower priority device, the lower priority device will still be first to alert the destination. Light: From the drop-down box, select which color in the dome light will illuminate when a call is made by the call device. Options are none, red, green, or white.

Before making any connections with the PSU, first refer to the table on page C-3 to determine the number of PSUs required for the system. A 2-pin connector with pigtails is provided for connecting the dome light module to the power supply. The PSU connects to additional Resident Units using a 1-pair 18-gauge stranded cable, with no shield (West Penn 224 or equivalent). 1. Splice the +24V wire (RED) from the CHAP-T3-PSU-EXT to the red pigtail wire. 2. Splice the Ground wire (BLACK) from the CHAP-T3-PSU-EXT to the black pigtail wire. 3. Plug the 2-pin connector to the power terminals on the Dome Light Module of the Resident Unit shown in the diagram below. 4. Cap off the unused YELLOW, BLUE, ORANGE, and GRAY wires of the CHAP-T3-PSU-EXT. 5. Run the cable to the next Resident Unit and splice it to the appropriate terminals. Repeat this step for each subsequent Resident Unit. Note: If another PSU is required along the Resident Unit line, the connections for the subsequent Resident Units are the same.
VS-600 Resident Unit Manual C-7 C.5 Installing the Wired Pull Cord Station The Wired Pull Cord Station is designed for wall mounting onto a standard one-gang electrical box with 3-9/32" mounting centers. The unit connects to the terminals marked JSW9, shown in the diagram below. C.6 Enabling Wireless Pendant or Wireless Pull Cord Operation To enable a Wireless Pendant or Wireless Pull Cord to operate in conjunction with a VS-600 Resident Unit, complete the following steps: 1. Simultaneously press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the Resident Unit until you hear a beep. 2. Verify that the Menu and Activities LEDs are blinking alternately after the beep. 3. For a Wireless Pendant, press its button. For a Wireless Pull Cord, pull the cord. On receiving the wireless device signal, the Resident Unit will play a long beep, and the Fault and Line LEDs will flash once. 4. When finished enabling devices, press Cancel. Note: You can assign up to 4 wireless pendants and 4 wireless pull cords to each resident unit, for a total of 8 devices.
C-8 Installation C.7 Wiring a Smoke Detector The Resident Unit has a connector that supports a normally-open dry contact, such as a smoke detector. The detector connects to the terminals marked JSW10, shown in the diagram below. Note: The Resident Unit should only be used as an ancillary notification device for smoke detectors. Ensure that the smoke detector is connected to a code-approved alarming device.
VS-600 Resident Unit Manual C-9 C.8 Wiring and Mounting Resident Unit Before wiring and mounting a Resident Unit ensure its diagnostic procedure has been performed (section B.1) and that it has been properly programmed (section B.2). The VS-600 Resident Units are installed onto standard 3-gang backboxes, with a minimum depth of 2.5”. The rear of the unit has two standard RJ-11 jacks. Holding the unit right side up, the upper jack terminates to a PEU station port and the lower jack terminates onto the Tip and Ring terminals on the back of a phone wall plate. The resident telephone then connects to this wall plate. See diagram on next page for overall view of configuration described above. USOC (Universal Service Ordering Code) is the wiring standard that should be followed for installing the Resident Unit. Wiring should adhere to the color code for USOC 2-conductor (analog/voice) telecommunication lines as shown below.
