3. INTRODUCTION

The SmartWire Nurse Call System complies with Australian Standard AS3811 – 1998 for Hard-
Wired Patient Alarm Systems.
SmartWire Nurse Call System is a Bus-connected system, with 4 wires connecting most of the
components. The bus communicates to the SmartLink Monitoring Software via a Master
Controller Unit. Some items (e.g. overdoor lamps) can be directly wired to intelligent Type A
Call Points serving for independent operation in the event of a bus failure.
A single bus with one Master Controller Unit can carry information relating to a maximum of
240 individually identifiable Call Point numbers. A maximum of 4 SmartWire Master
Controller Units may be connected to SmartLink’s Monitoring Software enabling 960 individual
call points to be monitored. Each of these individual Call Points (Client Codes) can be assigned
to signal 5 different types of call:

1. Patient Call

2. Wet Area (Patient Call)

3. Emergency

4. Staff Assist

5. Nurse Presence

4. CABLE SPECIFICATION
Recommended cable type is 6-core multi-strand cable (6Cx14x0.20mm)
• All wiring must be in accordance with AS3000 for electrical installations (wiring)
• Please refer to section 6 for more details on System Cabling

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 4


5. COMPONENTS

TYPE A (Call, Socket and Cancel unit)


Type A units connect directly to the Main Bus and provide up to a
maximum of three functions on one plate (including the cord-set socket
which is always a standard Patient Call, but have the intelligence to
generate any type of call (fully programmable). They can be used as a
‘hub’ unit where several types of calls are desired from the one
SmartWire Call Point number (i.e. Client Code) location.
They are backlit and capable of operating a multicoloured door lamp.
The MKII Type A call points also have the added features of Call
Escalation and Common Corridor Light Assignment.

Example 1
In a rest home room with en-suite, the Type A unit would be located at the bed, and Type B
units would be used in the WC and shower.

5 SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc


TYPE B (Call and Cancel unit)

The type B units have no intelligence, and are simply plates carrying
push buttons and lights. They can only be connected in series to a Type
A Call Point and are backlit.
Several Type B plates can be connected to a type A unit, but they must
all be of the same type of Call.

Right: Nurse Presence Call

Type B units must all have the same function and Call Point number (Client Code) associated
with them. For example, it is NOT possible to have the Wet Area Call Points and a Nurse
Presence call point connected to the same Type A unit. If Nurse Presence was required,
another Type A unit would be needed in the room, and this in turn could support further Type
B units, to make Emergency Calls for example (see Example 2).

Example 2
The room illustrated in Example 2 is capable of making all five types of calls using 2 different
caller IDs (one per Type A branch from the Main Bus).

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 6


Patient Cord-Set
A Patient Cord-Set can be plugged into any Type A (Call and
Cancel units), and will generate a Patient Call if unplugged.
If a Type A Call Point does not have a Cord Set plugged into
its socket during power up it will assume that a patient cord-
set will not be used and hence will not generate an alarm.
However, once a Patient cord-set is plugged into the Type A,
it will expect the Patient Cord-Set to be continuously
connected. Removal of the Cord-Set will generate an Alarm
of type Patient Call.
Resetting the power of the Type A call point will cause the
Type A call point to return to its original state.

Right: Patient Cord-Set (cord length not to scale)

Left: Patient Cord-Set plug (plug not to scale)

Shower Pull Switches


A Shower Pull Switch may be ceiling or wall mounted, and
contains a reassurance light, but no Cancel switch. When
used in a shower or WC room, the Cancel button on the
Type B (Call and Cancel unit) beside the WC can be used to
Cancel the shower pull. If used in a stand-alone shower or
bathroom, the pull switch should be used in conjunction
with a Type A (Call and Cancel unit) installed in the same
room. Shower pull switches are fitted with breakable links in
the cords.

Right: Pull Cord hanging from ceiling

Corridor/Door Lamps (Multicoloured)


Where required, lamps can be installed and wired directly back to the
Type A Call and Cancel points they serve. A single lamp is capable of
displaying the appropriate Green, Amber and Red light conditions
depending on the type of call.
The corridor light is a Tri-State LED that requires 3 connections at all
times. The three connections are labelled +, G, R, or positive, Green
and Red. The combination of these two colours forms the third colour
– Amber.

Right: Multicoloured corridor light in its OFF state.

7 SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc


Sounders
Sounders are connected directly to the bus, and have a limited
amount of intelligence. Their operation complies with the
Standard’s requirement that sounders and corridor lights
should continue to operate if the main communication bus
fails. The sounder monitors data on the bus and beeps according to
the highest priority alarm.

Right: Sounder with piezo-alarm output facing

SmartLite Displays
The SmartLite displays can run directly off the SmartWire Master Unit or from the SmartWire
bus using a Display Controller Interface. Messages associated with a call point (Client
Code) are displayed on the SmartLite Display when that particular call is initiated. Messages
are prioritised in the order: Emergency, Staff Assist, Patient Call (Wet Area), Patient
Call, followed by Nurse Presence. Zoning of messages is also possible with the use of the
Display Controller Interface.
SmartLite Displays can be either single or double sided for wall or ceiling mounted
requirements respectively. (Supports RS232 and RS485 inputs)

Above: SmartLite Display (Refer to Appendix 1 & 2)

Wireless Remote Displays


The Wireless Remote Displays are used to display SmartLink Alarm Calls on a BetaBrite or
SmartLite LED display sent via POCSAG pager messaging. Alarms can be paged to a specific
Cap Code recognised by the Remote Display Wireless Decoder which will then display the call
with appropriate colours and priority for nurse call applications.
SmartLink Alarm Calls are generated using SmartLink’s Monitoring Software (SmartWatch
XP). For more information, refer to the Remote Display Wireless Decoder Installation Manual
or contact SmartLink International. (Supports only RS232 inputs)

Above: BetaBrite Display with Remote Display Wireless Decoder unit

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 8


6. SYSTEM CABLING

The system communicates via 4 wire bus system (+, -, A, B). Recommended wiring is 6-core
multi-strand (6Cx14x0.20) flexible security cable. We recommend using the additional
2 cores to double up on the supply lines (+ and -) to reduce voltage drops.

DO NOT use twisted pair cable such as CAT5 as this will interfere with SmartWire bus
communications.

For details on system cabling please refer to APPENDIX 1.

9 SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc


7. WIRING DIAGRAM 1 – Ceiling Pull Cord

The Ceiling Pull Cord, when activated, shorts the C terminal on the Type A Call Point to ground
(-) causing an Alarm. The Alarm may be cancelled from the Type B Call points connected in
parallel or in certain instances from the Type A Cancel button. As a general rule it is always
advisable to connect Ceiling Pull Cords in parallel with a Type B Call Point as the ceiling pull
cords do not have the ability to cancel Alarms.

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 10


8. WIRING DIAGRAM 2 – Common Corridor Light

Enabling the “Common Corridor Light” option (via DIP switches 6, 7, & 8) on the Call Point
allows a single Corridor lamp to be activated upon activation of any of the Call points on the
Common Corridor line. Setting a Type A Call Point to operate in this mode voids the use of
Type B Call Points from that particular Type A Call Point. Please refer to the Section labeled
“Setting Call Types” for activation of this mode.

11 SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc


9. WIRING DIAGRAM 3 – Display Controller Interface

The Display Controller Interface can be placed anywhere along the main bus to drive SmartLite
LED displays. Each Display Controller can store Messages for up to 240 Call points on the
SmartWire MKII bus.

The Display Controller allows “Zoning” of displayed messages by only displaying information
relevant to Certain Call Points. Each Display Controller Interface can drive up to 2 displays
using direct RS 232 and up to 32 displays using an RS232 to RS485 converter.

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 12


10. WIRING DIAGRAM 4 - Zoning Displays
The Display Controller Interfaces can be used to break up the system into zones, allowing
only messages for certain call points to be displayed on specific LED displays. Each Display
Controller Interface can drive a maximum of TWO displays up to 15 metres.

11. WIRING DIAGRAM 5 - Interfacing Radio Receivers

Typical Installation of the Radio Nurse Call Receiver onto a SmartWire MKII system

The radio receiver is designed to work with the existing nurse call systems. The radio receiver
interfaces through the local call point bus which makes integration extremely simple. The
command messages of a radio key will activate the alarm through the local call point
connections C and D. There is no requirement to program the radio keys as the radio
messages will be validated by command and device type only. The radio receiver can be
operated in two modes: Any Key Operation Mode and Programmed Key Only Mode. If operated
in Any Key Mode the radio receiver will accept any SmartLink radio keys. If operated in
Programmed Key Only Mode the radio receiver will only accept SmartLink keys that have been
previously checked into the receiver (Maximum 40).

Refer to APPENDIX 6 for more information on setting up a Radio Receiver.

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 14


12. WIRING DIAGRAM 6 - Interfacing External Devices

External Devices such as Intercom Systems may be interfaced to the SmartWire MKII
system by the use of a generic Modular Relay Board. The basic function of the relay board is to
either short the “C” terminal on the Type A call point to Ground (for an activation) or to short
the “D” terminal to Ground (for a cancellation).

Other Proprietary SmartLink systems such as the Dementia and Patient Profiler or the
SmartWalk system may be interfaced to the SmartWire system using the same principle.

Note that the “TR” terminal on the Modular Relay Board is used to trigger the activation and
cancellation of alarms.

15 SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc


13. CONFIGURING LED DISPLAY DESCRIPTIONS
A 13 character SmartLite display can be connected to the SmartWire Master Unit or the Display
Controller Interface. Call point alarms will be displayed with different colour messages for
different types of alarm. Alarms will be displayed in priority and updated every 10 seconds.
Only the highest priority messages are displayed.

LED Display Alarm Priority


Call Type Colour
1 EMERGENCY Red
2 STAFF ASSIST Yellow
3 PATIENT CALL, WET AREA & CORD OUT Yellow
4 NURSE PRESENCE Green

The default text for each call point is ‘CALL ID call point number’. For example:
‘CALL ID 25’ will be displayed when call point 25 is programmed to CALL.

If there are any EMERGENCY Alarms, only the Emergency Alarm messages are displayed. If
there is more than 1 Emergency message, each message is displayed for 10 seconds. If there
are no emergency messages, the next highest priority messages are displayed.

Configuring Display Messages


The call point descriptions can be changed by creating a HyperTerminal connection with:

Baud Rate 9600, Data Bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1


Plug the PC running HyperTerminal to the RS232 Communication port on the SmartWire MKII and press the
Enter key.

The following prompt will appear:

Enter Call point Number:_

Follow prompts to change display text.

Enter Call point Number (1-240): 12<CR>

CALL ID 12

Enter call point name or <CR> to keep: ROOM 1<CR>

Enter Call point Number: _

Example strings:

CALL call point 6 ROOM 6

EMERGENCY call point 8 BATH 8

NOTES:

The display edit feature will time out after 60 seconds or when an <ENQ> character is received
and a time out message is displayed.
If <CR> is pressed when entering call point number, all 240 call point strings are displayed.
Maximum call point description is 13 characters.

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 16


14. TECHNICAL NOTES

System Polling
When the Master Unit is powered up, it will poll all the Call Points on the Main Bus and store
the addresses in its non-volatile EEPROM memory. If the Master finds that a Call Point is
disconnected or damaged, it will report a “POWER Disconnect” alarm with the associated
Client Code of the Call Point to the Monitoring Software. It is only reported once and is deemed
to be removed from the system so as to prevent a removed call point being reported as Power
Disconnect forever. When the Call Point is connected back onto the Main Bus, the Master unit
will recognise it and cancel the “POWER Disconnect” alarm.
If a new call point is added to the system while powered down, it will be detected on power up
and reported as Power Disconnect restore. A new system will report all call points connected to
it the first time it is powered up.

Display Controller Interface


The display controller controls the LED display through an RS232 connection. Although the
master unit can also carry out this task of controlling a LED display the Display Controller
Interface is required in some installations where more than one LED display is required.
The Display Controller Interface connects to the main bus and listens-in on the messages
transmitted by the call points and sends the corresponding messages to the LED display.
The Display Controller Interface uses the same hardware as the master unit with transmitter of
the bus ‘A’ removed and brown out voltage reduced from 7.5V to 6V.

Master Unit Buffer


In the event that communications between the SmartWire master unit and the monitoring PC
is broken, the master unit buffers all alarms that are activated or cancelled. When the
communication between the SmartWire master and monitoring PC is re-established the
SmartWire system reports the record of which call points were activated and cancelled along
with the present state of the system.

System Low Battery Reporting (Client Code 9917)


The Master Unit continuously monitors its supply voltage. When it detects that the supply
voltage has dropped below 9.5V, it will report a “BATTERY Low” alarm with the Client Code
9917. Once the supply voltage exceeds 11.5V the “BATTERY Low” alarm is Cancelled.
The SmartWire MKII has a brownout voltage of 7.5V, the master powers up once the supply
exceeds 8.7V.

Backup Battery Requirements


The selection of a suitable backup battery involves knowing the current consumption of the
entire system in standby and alarm states. To determine the total current consumption, you
will need to know the quantity and configuration of the different types components used in the
system.

See APPENDIX 2 for details.

15. SYSTEM SETTINGS

Master Controller Interface


Master Interface Units act as an interface between the SmartLink Monitoring Software and the
SmartWire Hard-wired Nurse Call System. Each Master Unit can handle up to 240 individual
Call Point numbers which are allocated to Type A and Type C units only (Type B units share
call points numbers with type A units and should NOT be included in this count).
A maximum of 4 Master Interface Units can be used per SmartLink Monitoring Software
installation providing a total of 960 individual Call Point numbers (Client Codes).

Master Controller Interface DIP-Switch Settings


The eight by 2-way DIP-Switch on the Master Unit shall be used to define the following:
ƒ SmartLink Receiver (Address) Number – defaulted to 1
ƒ Master Interface Modes of operation – defaulted to Ademco + Checksum

Type B unit connected to it.
As mentioned previously the available Call Types are: Patient Call, Wet Call Area, Staff Assist,
Nurse Present and Emergency Call.
Each Type A call unit has three available inputs that can be used to activate Calls and Alarms:
• Main (local button on Type A and call units)
• Remote (one or more Type B units connected directly to a Type A call unit)
• Socket (used for Patient Cord-Set and always activates a normal Patient Call)

• Setting jumpers 6, 7, & 8 on a Call point to ( - + + ) respectively assigns the call


point to be of Type Escalation. The first press of the Alarm button will cause the
Cancel button to flash once, and send a call of Type Patient Call, a second press
will cause the Cancel button to flash twice and will send a call of Type Staff Assist
and a Third (and final) press will cause the Cancel button to flash three times and
send a call of Type Emergency. Any Corridor lights attached to the Call point will
reflect the state of the Call point – i.e. 2 presses will flash Amber, 3 presses will
flash Red.
• Calls are displayed on over-door lamps in order of Priority (Emergency, Staff
Assist, Wet Area, Patient Call followed by Nurse Present).
• Socket is not available with Emergency Call Points in regulation with Hard-Wired
Nurse Call Speciation AS3811.

APPENDIX 1 - Cabling Guidelines

System wiring guidelines based on current consumption


The following tables have been provided to assist installers in determining max cable
lengths and components per single run of cable that is part of a larger star configuration.
The figures found in the tables have been calculated for 6Cx14x0.2 cable, using the
extra 2 cores to double up on the supply lines. The use of any other type of cable or
configuration will void these figures.

Table 1 - Component Current Consumption

System Configurations and Limitations
The following are limitations based on 3 different configurations. The first configuration puts emphasis on
large area coverage with minimum call points whereas the last configuration puts emphasis on small
area coverage with max number of call points. Depending on your requirements you may choose either
of the configurations.

Table 8 - Large Area Coverage with Minimum Call Points


SmartWire MKII Component Max quantity per entire star configured bus
Type A Call Point 50
Sounder (1 beep/second) 20
Display Controller 5
Max TOTAL cable run (metres) 4000

Table 9 - Medium Area Coverage


SmartWire MKII Component Max quantity per entire star configured bus
Type A Call Point 120
Sounder (1 beep/second) 30
Display Controller 5
Max TOTAL cable run (metres) 3200

Table 10 - Small Area Coverage with Maximum Call Points


SmartWire MKII Component Max quantity per entire star configured bus
Type A Call Point 240
Sounder (1 beep/second) 40
Display Controller 10
Max TOTAL cable run (metres) 1600

Line Boosters

In situations where the maximum component count or cable run has been exceeded, Line
Boosters may be used to reduce the effects of system capacitance on bus communication
by reducing signal rise times. For further information please contact SmartLink
International Pty Ltd.

Cabling Example

Requirement:
Medium sized hospital requires a hard wired nurse call system for its existing 90 beds.
The installation also requires 4 LED displays, and 20 sounders. The installation should
also be able to cater for an additional 30 beds in its new wing that will be located approx
800m from the master unit.

Solution:
Taking into consideration the future expansion and the number of call points required we
would use figures from Table 9 “Medium Area coverage”. This will enable us to have a
total of 120 call points, with 30 sounders, 5 display controllers and a total cable run of
3200 metres. Assuming that on average 20 call points would be required every 100
metres for the existing wings, and using figures from Table 6, we would require two runs
of 200m cable. For the proposed new wing that will be located 800 meters away, we
would use 3 separate runs of 800m cable each supporting 10 call points (figures taken
from Table 2). So the overall total cable run would be 2800m, which is well within
specification.

29 SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc


APPENDIX 2 – Calculating Backup Battery Requirements

Batteries must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The Australian Standards for Hard-Wired Patient Alarm Systems states:

Battery backup shall be sufficient to provide a minimum of 10 min


operation with the capacity to supply an additional 50% of the power
requirements with 25% of the loops operative.

Rechargeable batteries shall be capable of being fully recharged from


a fully discharged condition within 24h.

Each battery container shall be legibly and durably marked with the
month and year of installations, e.g. 1/98 meaning January 1998.

Current Consumption Figures per Component


We suggest that you use the following allowances when calculating battery capacity:

SmartWire MKII Component Standby Current (mA) Alarm Current (mA)


Type A Call Point <4 6
Type B Call Point 1 2
Patient Bed Cord 1 2
Corridor Light (steady) – Nurse Presence, Patient Call 0 30
Corridor Light (flashing) – Staff Assist, Emergency 0 15
Sounder (1 beep/second) 1 10
Display Controller <30 30
Master <30 30

Battery Calculation Example


For example, if we have a system with 50 Type A call points (25 Patient Call and 25
Emergency) with each having corridor lamps, 30 bed side plugs, 40 Type B call points,
10 sounders, 5 display controllers, and 1 master then our total max current consumption
in alarm state shall be:

Type A call points: 25 x 6 = 150


Steady “Patient Call” Corridor Lights 25 x 30 = 750
Flashing “Emergency” Corridor Lights 25 x 15 = 375
Bed side plugs 30 x 2 = 60
Type B call points 40 x 2 = 80
Sounders 10 x 10 = 100
Display controllers 5 x 30 = 150
Master controller 1 x 30 = 30
TOTAL Current 1695 mA

Using a standard 12V Lead-acid battery with a 7 Ah capacity will power the entire system
for approx 4 hours in a worst case scenario where all call points are in alarm state. This
would be more than enough to satisfy the requirements of the Australian Standards for
Hard Wired Patient Alarm Systems.

Appendix 5 - Autotex AM

SmartWire MK2 Nurse Call Installation Manual v1.8.doc 34


Autotex AM – FAQ Continued…

• What is a Microbe
Microbes are single celled organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye and
must be viewed through a microscope. The naked eye is only able to detect the presence of
microbes once they have multiplied to the hundreds of thousands. And under the right
conditions, some microbes can double in number every 15-20 minutes. Types of microbes
include bacteria, algae and fungi or mold.

• Is Autotex AM with Microban® antimicrobial technology safe?


Yes - Microban® has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long
history of safe use.

• Will scratching or scuffing the film diminish the effectiveness of the AM function
No - Because the antimicrobial agent is evenly distributed throughout the texture, its
effectiveness is constant even if the surface is damaged.

• Do we still have to clean the film


Yes -Autotex AM provides continuous antimicrobial protection however if dirt or residue build
up on the surface bacteria can grow on top of the build up. Normal cleaning practices should
therefore be maintained.

• Does the anti microbial protection begin working immediately?


The antimicrobial function of Autotex AM begins to work as soon as the microorganism comes
into contact with the product surface. It then works continuously to maintain a consistently
lower bio-burden than would be expected on a product without antimicrobial protection. Under
the right conditions, microbes on an untreated surface can double every 20 minutes!

• Does the antimicrobial leach or migrate from the film?


No - The antimicrobial is permanently locked into the texture and can not leach or migrate
from the film.

• What is the Microban® Certification Programme?


The Microban® brand promise to consumers is to deliver continuous, durable and effective
antimicrobial protection. To ensure this is fulfilled, Autotex AM has been subjected to
extensive testing prior to commercialization and is manufactured under stringent quality
assurance guide lines in addition film samples from every production making undergo a
rigorous testing programme carried out by LawLabs a leading, independent inspection body
who are responsible for overseeing and regulating the Microban Certification Programme.

• Does the use of antimicrobials cause resistant strains of microorganisms?


No - After more than 30 years of use in numerous consumer, industrial and medical
applications around the world, there has been no evidence of resistant strain development.

• Will the film irritate, is it sensitizing?


No - Autotex AM will not irritate skin and is not sensitizing.

• Is Autotex AM approved for use in food contact applications?


No.

• What cleaning products can be used with Autotex AM?


As far as we are certain, normal cleaning products can be safely used with Autotex with Microban. However,
complete compatibility with all cleaning products can not be guaranteed and so in cases of doubt you should
contact your local Autotype representative for further information.

Appendix 6 – Radio Nurse Call Receiver Installation

MODES OF OPERATION

The Radio Nurse Call Receiver can be programmed to operate in two different modes:

1. Any Key Operation Mode, where the Radio Nurse Call Receiver will accept signals
from any SmartLink radio keys or,

2. Programmed Key Operation Mode, where the SmartLink radio keys (maximum of
40) must be programmed into the Radio Nurse Call Receiver before being accepted.

ATTENTION: Pressing the CANCEL button on any radio key will cancel any active alarms that may have
been activated by another radio key. This is true in either mode of operation whether it be “Any Key” or
“Programmed Key” modes.

Any Key Operation

This operation mode allows the radio nurse call to operate with any Smartlink radio keys. To
enable this mode remove any links on the terminal block between terminals Z1 and 0V. Refer
to PCB layout shown below.

Programmed Key Operation

This operation mode allows the radio nurse call to operate with programmed Smartlink radio
keys only. To enable this mode place a link on the terminal block between terminals Z1 and
