VISOCALL PLUS

VISOCALL PLUS General
General
Internal messaging systems are an absolute necessity in hospitals. Everyday life in the hospital is marked by staff
stress and time pressure. Nonetheless, every patient wants to see the best possible conditions for his care. Hence,
the great importance of having optimal access to information throughout the entire hospital.
Nurse call systems assist in this task. They enable rapid contact between patients and nursing staff, as well as
between nursing-staff members. Every patient is able to reach "his" nurse, and every nursing-staff member can call
additional staff members and the doctor. Light signals in the place from where the call has originated and voice
circuit connections ensure optimal communications.
However, every hospital is an individual entity. Various criteria for evaluation must also be observed, such as the
fact that demands, opinions and necessities can change.
VISOCALL PLUS offers optimal solutions for this problematic area:
• State of the art technology allows a “standard installation” for every forms of patient care.
• Room terminals and patient handsets with autarchic single chip processors render controlling processes
from above superfluous, simultaneously acting as switchboards for data and docking with other intelligent
units.
• Multiplex sound-control as well as new hardware and software components offer further advantages as
well as allowing the integration of additional systems.
• Monitor systems with colour graphical displays with automatic sector overlays with their many buttons
and lamps make it possible to dispense with voluminous switchboard queries.

VISOCALL PLUS SystemDescription
SystemDescription
1 Characteristic System Properties
1.1 Standards
VISOCALL PLUS complies with the current standards and regulations:
• DIN-VDE 0834 - Call systems in hospitals, care homes and similar establishments,
valid from 1 April 2000
• DIN-VDE 0834 / Part 1 - Device specifications, installation and operation, valid from 1 April 2000
• DIN-VDE 0834 / Part 2 - Environmental conditions and electromagnetic compatibility,
valid from 1 April 2000
• Provision of electricity in accordance with EN60950, EN61000-4-2 to -4-6 as well as
EN61000-3-2 and EN55011 (Class B)
as well as all standards and regulations referred to in these standards.
All VISOCALL PLUS system components conform to environmental class I, whilst all components which are
installed in sanitary units, bathrooms etc. conform to environmental class II. In accordance with VDE0834 part 2
this means:
Environmental class I: +5°C to +40°C *) with an relative air humidity of up to a maximum of 85%
Environmental class II: +5°C to +40°C with an relative air humidity of up to a maximum of 95%
*) +55°C when installed in medical supply units
When planning and constructing nurse call systems the currently applicable regional regulations must also be
observed from the installation to the operation of call systems in hospitals, old people’s homes and similar
establishments. Many of the VISOCALL PLUS system’s properties considerably exceed these requirements.
1.2 Maximum Security

Complete system failure impossible
Every terminal possesses an autarchic single chip processor containing comprehensive software. System-related
complete system failures can therefore be ruled out.
Self monitoring
Self-monitoring of the computers and data and voice circuits ensures that faults are displayed and that safety
features are triggered.
Storage of data
In the event of a power-cut all pending information remains saved, and is then automatically restored when the
power returns. The minimum permitted storage period in accordance with DIN standards is 15 seconds.
VISOCALL PLUS saves the pending information permanently and can not lose it during a power-cut.
Safety features
Automatic call forwarding and automated monitoring processes at regular intervals prevents the blocking and
disconnection of call and speech circuits.
LEDs and security against short circuits

Controllers use LEDs and terminals contain short circuit-proof lamp outputs.

1.3 Basic Installation

Infinitely variable system construction
Each room terminal forms an independent system with the devices present in rooms Two terminals on a bus
connection already form a functional system with call forwarding, intercom system etc. Any system can be created
by connecting room terminals to one another and can be universally used with system queries.
Identical Room Terminals

Room terminals are identical in all rooms; however, different functions are still possible. Terminals with a display
can indicate the type of call and location of the call straightaway.
Safe planning
A “Standard Installation” allows the realisation of every possible type of system, and it is always possible to make
changes. System cables are available for the wiring system, and terminal sockets simultaneously act as room
splitters.
1.4 Optimal concept for devices

Components which have been thoroughly thought out down to the finest details are a hallmark of the VISOCALL
PLUS device concept:
Connection Devices
to be built into countersunk switchboxes or installation units for hospital rooms (service ducts).
Patient handsets
Various versions available - the optimal solution for every use.
Call and cancel buttons

buttons
For toilets, bathrooms and day rooms etc.
Signal lamps
For signalling on a room, area and ward-related basis, also available on request using LED technology.
Room terminals
As autarchic communications and data centres, with integrated speech communication, available in several forms,
all with a membrane keypad.
Mini terminals
To allow additional rooms to be incorporated with selective functions without speech functions.
ELAC radio controller

Connected to room terminals to activate radio reception
Bus interface
To control ward signal lamps and as interfaces to other systems
Text displays
For quick, comprehensive and clear signalling.
Ward Terminal
With a ¼ VGA colour display and a few interactive buttons.
Control Panel
Colour graphical monitor system for an optional overview and easy operation.
Serial interfaces
For communication with other systems

Power supplies
For supplying power to the ward or a particular sector (24V=).
Accessories
Switchboxes and cases, soffit lamps, special system cabling etc.
1.5 Realisation of all types of system

Just by connecting the necessary query locations to the standard installation it is possible to realise:
• Decentralised systems or/and

• Centralised systems or/and
• Combination systems
It is possible to change from one type of system to another at any time. The room terminals allow the formation of
Communication Islands
For bathrooms and treatment wards with an self-contained functional flow within every type of system.
1.6 Combination with other systems

VISOCALL PLUS can work in combination with a wide range of other systems:
• In combination with ELAC and TV systems

• In combination with Schrack-Seconet’s automatic billing system
• In combination with lighting controls
• In combination with the wireless paging system
• In combination with DECT systems
• In combination with the IT system
• In combination with the fire alarm system
• In combination with the in-house IT system
• In combination with the system for disoriented persons.
VISOCALL PLUS is the symbiosis of the complex requirements placed on future looking communications
systems in the healthcare sector, the highest level of security and optimal operating comfort. All these features are
bundled together with state-of-the-art technology and a cutting edge design.

2 The types of system
VISOCALL PLUS makes it possible to implement any type of system in accordance with DIN 41050 Part 1 whilst
additionally offering practice-specific customisability.
• Global measures can also be implemented for decentralised systems (using possible extensions).
• There are no limitations to the number of possibilities for extending VISOCALL PLUS’ functions and
configurations. All important system devices contain single chip processors with comprehensive software,
which permits the required function.
• Any system configuration is possible, based upon a standard installation of the system, by simply
connecting room terminals, ward terminals and control panels. If all types of connector are present, then it
is possible to use or remove any type of device at any time. Devices automatically recognise the current
status of the system.
2.1 Decentralised systems

Decentralised nurse call communication systems consider each ward as an individual sector, in which the system-
related interests of patient care by nursing staff in the ward are detected directly.
All calls by patients reach nursing staff immediately, and are followed up by the nursing staff either via using the
system’s speech circuits or by them going to the place where the call originated.
Each ward is equipped with a ward terminal, from which the current functional status of the system can be
ascertained, and can be acted upon accordingly. Room terminals offer assistance in all important areas, and each of
these can be used as a “sub-terminal”.
Decentralised stations can be combined practically for operation with reduced staff levels. The duty area of
members of the nursing staff is then no longer linked to a specific sector; functions (including call-forwarding und
speech circuits) cover all interconnected wards and can be accessed at every room terminal and ward terminal. The
interconnection of groups can be activated and deactivated again at any time. In critical cases, the interconnection
process occurs automatically.
2.2 Centralised Systems

Centralised nurse call communications systems possess a control panel covering all wards in the building.
• All calls are displayed on the control panel and are monitored by a control centre operator. The tasks to be
carried out in the various wards are then transmitted to the nursing staff members working in that area via
the system’s speech circuits. Communication with nursing staff and patients is carried out via the room
terminals or patient handsets. Other sectors can also be integrated in to the functions section of the
control panel.
• Any ward can be detached from the control panel at any time and then function in a decentralised manner.
Speech transmission in every detached ward remains possible, even when the are doesn’t contain any ward
terminals. Equally, each decentralised ward can also be reconnected to the control panel. If the control
panel is unmanned, then all wards function as decentralised wards. The type of system can be changed at
the push of a button, or, in critical instances, automatically.

2.3 Combination systems

Combination systems make it possible to selectively use both types of care systems listed above.
• All types of system can be used with the corresponding query locations. Activated configurations can
function separately from one another or in harmony with one another. It is possible to change from one
type of system to another at the press of a button or (in critical instances) automatically.
• Combination systems offer the advantages of both decentralised and centralised forms. The
(decentralised) wards that are no longer being operating centrally can also be combined with one another.
It is therefore possible, for example, to have all wards attached to the control panel by day, whilst each
ward is decentralised during the night. Or, all wards can function as decentralised ones, whilst a control
panel is activated for the centralised night watch duty, on which checks or combining of functions can be
carried out.
2.4 Communication Islands

It is possible to create independent communications islands without any specific measures necessary by connecting
room terminals with call buttons and cancel buttons. Communication islands function either with or without
speech connections and can for example be used for therapy wards. If need be, then these communications islands
can also work in collaboration with other wards.
2.5 Group Care

In certain cases it is necessary to define care groups within communication islands. Different nursing staff
members are responsible for different patient groups. Calls made in a care group remain within the group and are
then also treated within the group. In the event of a call not be answered in time, then the automatic override
function becomes effective and diverts the call(s). Up to 7 care groups per ward can be assigned, either within their
own ward or in multiple wards.

3 The system functions

VISOCALL PLUS doesn’t require superordinated controls – neither for functions, nor for speech circuits or
system configuration.
• All system functions are stored, ready-for-use, in the microcomputers of the autarchic room terminals
and query locations.
• Each room terminal recognises the attached system components (e.g. patient handsets, call buttons,
signal lamps etc.) by means of programming and signals all activities within the area.
• Every ward terminal or every control panel automatically recognises the accompanying room terminals
and ward terminals and displays the functions for the entire area.
• System devices communicate with one another via the bus circuits, whilst making the relevant decisions
about functions autarchically.
• Every important function (doctor call, diagnostic call, emergency call etc.) can be monitored via the system
interface and can be transferred to other systems or communications processes.
The following functions are as standard. Additional property-specific customisations can be carried out using the
system’s software structure.
Light signals, call signs and signalling intervals etc. are in accordance with DIN and VDE requirements. In the
explanation of functions and system parts, the terms mentioned therein are also observed.
3.1 Presence indicator

In which rooms nursing staff members are to be found is displayed by light signals in the corridor and in the query
locations. Presence is marked via the presence keys on the room terminals, and is displayed on the presence key
that has been pressed being continuously lit, as well as being displayed on room signal lamps in the corridor, and
the relevant room indicator lamp on the ward terminal or the control panel. Up to three possible presence
indications are possible - namely for:
Nurses green
Helper nurses yellow
Doctors orange
Calls and reminders are also cancelled, by pressing the presence buttons, and emergency calls, doctor calls, calls
forwarded and secondary queries initiated by the same process.
3.2 Telephone Call

This call originates from the nurse’s room telephone, and is automatically triggered if the receiver is not picked up
when a phone call is received. The call is intended for the nurse and can reach her wherever she is within the ward.
This call can not be queried; it is cancelled once the nurse picks up the phone receiver in the nurse's room, or if the
caller has already hung up earlier. This call is signalled by a continuous red light and as an audio signal in the form
of a slow ring tone. This call is suppressed in centralised systems.
3.3 Bed call with speech connection

This call is made by the patient from his/her bed. It is intended for the nurse and can be answered by her at room
terminals, or at the ward terminal or at the control panel, and remotely cancelled. This call is signalled by a
continuous red light and as an audio signal in the form of a slow ring tone.

3.4 Enhanced patient call

This call is made by the patient from his/her bed. It is intended for the nurse and can be answered by her at room
terminals, or at the ward terminal or at the control panel, and remotely cancelled. This call is signalled by a
continuous red light and as an audio signal in the form of a slow ring tone. This call is first incorporated in version
2.1 of the software. It has a higher priority than the normal bed call.
3.5 Removal call

This call is automatically made, if the connection plug of a patient handset is pulled out of its connection device.
The removal call can not be queried, is made to the nurse and is followed up by her immediately; plugging the
device in again will restore the communication for the patient. The call is signalled by a continuous light and an
audio signal in the form of a slow ringing tone, and as an engaged tone after the call has been answered.
3.6 Room call with speech connection

This call is made by the patient from the room terminal. It is intended for the nurse and can be answered by her at
room terminals, or at the ward terminal or at the control panel, and cancelled remotely. This is signalled by a
continuous red light and as an audio signal in the form of a slow ringing tone.
3.7 Bathroom or VC call from a room’s sanitary unit

This call is made by the patient from a room's sanitary unit (toilet, shower, etc.). The call can not be queried and is
followed up by the nurse directly. This is signalled by a continuous white light and as an audio signal in the form of
a slow ringing tone.
3.8 Bath or WC call from a separate sanitary unit

This call is made by the patient from a separate sanitary unit (toilet, toilet block, ward bathroom). The call can not
be queried and is followed up by the nurse directly. This is signalled by continuous white and red lights and as an
audio signal in the form of a slow ringing tone.
3.9 The Bathroom of WC Emergency Call from the room’s sanitary unit
or from a separate sanitary unit
This call is made from the separate sanitary unit (toilet, toilet block or ward bathroom) by the nurse whose
presence has been marked. This call can not be queried and is first incorporated in version 2.1 of the software.
3.10 Bed emergency call with speech connection

This call is triggered by the nurse, if the assistance of a second nurse is required at a patient's bed. The call can be
made where presence has been indicated and can be answered by the second nurse at room terminals, or at the
ward terminal or at the control panel, and cancelled remotely. This call is signalled by a blinking red light and as an
audio signal in the form of a quick ringing tone.
3.11 Room emergency call with speech connection

This call is made by a nurse from the room terminal to a second nurse. The call is made where presence is
indicated and can be answered by the second nurse at any other room terminal, or at the ward terminal or at the
control panel, and cancelled remotely. This call is signalled by a blinking red light and as an audio signal in the
form of a quick ringing tone.

3.12 The Diagnostic Call

This call is automatically triggered by a monitoring device at the patient’s bed. The call can not be queried and is
followed up by the nurse directly. This call is signalled by a blinking red light and as an audio signal in the form of
a quick ringing tone.
3.13 Doctor call with speech connection

This call is made by a nurse from the room terminal to a doctor. The call can be made where presence has been
indicated and can be answered by the doctor at other room terminals, or at the ward terminal or at the control
panel, and cancelled remotely. This is signalled by a blinking orange light and as an audio signal in the form of a
quick ringing tone.
3.14 Doctor call via pager system

A doctor call as per point 11 can automatically activate the pager system. This may be done for an area or as a
group call. The call is displayed by a blinking orange light as a signal on the doctor’s pager.
3.15 Doctor call via a DECT system

When a doctor call, as described in point 13, is not answered in VISOCALL PLUS, it can automatically be
forwarded to a DECT system. The may be done for an area or as a group call. When the call is picked up, a speech
connection will be made with the place from where the call originated. The call is displayed by a blinking orange
light and by signals to the doctors’ DECT devices.
3.16 The Priority scheme

The various types of calls are placed in a priority hierarchy. This hierarchy ensures that in the event of different
calls happening simultaneously, that the nursing staff answering the calls are directed to the highest ranked of the
calls. Nursing staff are able to take action manually at the ward terminal and the control panel and to query the call
that is more important for them. Call prioritisation is therefore circumvented. This however must be done
consciously by pressing a button.
3.17 Answering a call at

at the ward terminal, at the control panel
Presence and call indicators as well as call queries are carried out by room, with diversion through to patient
handsets happening automatically. The nurse is able to accept one call after another (using free room selection or
automated querying). Each call is instantly marked as being queryable or not queryable. Text displayed on the
screen optimises the operation process.
Queryable calls:
After the call has been queried, a speech connection is made to the caller, which is displayed by means of an
attention indicator to both parties in the conversation. Additionally, the type of call and location of the call are also
displayed. After the conversation has been ended, each call can be remotely cancelled or be replaced by a reminder.
Non Queryable calls:

They are also immediately displayed according to type of call and location of call after having been received. The
call is acknowledged at the place where the call was triggered, which can additionally be ascertained by means of a
reminder.
Appearance on the display:

Up to 4 of all the currently pending calls can be displayed simultaneously on the ward terminal. It is possible to
view all the calls using the scroll function. On the right hand side next to the call symbol the type of call and call
location is displayed as plain text.
3.18 Call answering from the room terminals

Room terminals with presence marked are automatically activated in decentralised systems for call diversion and
secondary queries. As a result the nurse can be reached in every important room in the ward, and is therefore
informed of existing calls. Linking to the network happens according to the priority hierarchy, and each call is
immediately recognised as being queryable or non-queryable.
Queryable
Queryable calls:
When a queryable call is accepted, a speech connection to the person making the call is made. After the
conversation has been ended, each call can be remotely cancelled or be replaced by a reminder.
Non Queryable calls:

They can be recognised as such straightaway and can only be acknowledged from the location where the call was
triggered.
Appearance on the display:

The type of call and location of the call is displayed as text on room terminals with a display. Additional calls made
during the conversation are signalled by a changing display.
Note about points 3.17 and 3.18:

Queryable calls can naturally also be reacted to directly (without the prior conversation process) as non-queryable
calls, and can be acknowledged in the room the call came from by pressing the corresponding presence key on the
room terminal (or the separate cancel button of e.g. the sanitary unit).
3.19 Reminders
The purpose of a reminder is to indicate (mark, identify) rooms, which are to be visited by a member of the
nursing staff as a follow-up to a call. A reminder is generally activated by nursing staff themselves, if there is no
reply from the person making the call when querying a call, or if there is no speech connection for a call, or if there
is an engaged tone, or if other calls are to be queried before going to the location of the call or if calls are delegated
to other nursing staff members. Calls with reminders can be repeated and queried several times. It is possible to
activate up to three reminders either at room terminals and at the ward terminal or at the control panel - for
• Nurses green
• Helper nurses yellow
• Doctors orange
The reminder has to be cancelled in a “marked” room.
3.20 Call to a room

The nurse at the ward terminal or the control panel can address every room in the same area via the room
terminals. There is a mute function at terminals where presence has not been marked, which can be lifted by
replying from this terminal. The call to a room is indicated on the terminal being called.
3.21 Call to a bed

The nurse at the ward terminal or the control panel can address every bed in the same area via the patient handsets.
The call is signalled on the patient handset, and the existing eavesdropping mute function is removed by being
called back by the device being called.

3.22 Ward announcement (collective announcement)

The nurse at the ward terminal or the control panel can make group announcements via the room terminals, which
are signalled by calling. Announcements can be made based on presence or generally.
• Presence related announcements only go to the room terminals of the ward being called,
where nurses have marked their presence.
• General announcements include all room terminals inclusive of the patient handsets used within
those rooms in the selected ward, regardless of whether presence has been indicated or not.
• It is also possible to make additional collective announcements to all rooms in the building from
the control panel. These announcements can also be activated dependent upon presence or generally.
3.23 Group Interconnection

This allows the formation of care areas, which consist of two or more wards. The opportunity to query or divert
each individual call is now increased (in the priority scheme) to encompass all ward and room terminals in the
whole area. Additional group signal lights display in which wards there are calls or reminders. Interconnection of
groups can be carried out separately for:
• calls for nurses and

• calls for doctors,
since doctors generally have different duty areas.

Ward terminals and room terminals with a display also display the ward number when the call is sent.
3.24 Group Care

Group care, as opposed to interconnection of groups, makes it possible to assign rooms within a ward or even
across several wards into logical groups. This can either be done as a one-off event or during normal system
operation. Up to 7 different care groups are permitted per ward. Calls from a care group remain exclusively within
this group as long as they are answered promptly. If this is not the case in an individual instance, then the call is
automatically forwarded and received by the ward terminal or the control panel.
3.25 Centralisation
Centralisation blocks call forwarding and the ability to query the call at room terminals across the whole ward. All
calls from the ward are only displayed at the ward terminal and can only be queried from here. Centralisation is
said to have occurred, if, for example, all calls are queried by a nurse at the ward terminal, although calls will be
delegated to only nursing staff in the ward for being dealt with.
Such a system is as a rule however only usual in CENTRALISED SYSTEMS.
3.26 The Ward Call

This call is made by a nurse from the ward terminal or the control panel. It is intended for a second nurse in the
relevant part of the ward, and can be queried and remotely cancelled by this nurse at the room terminals or be
replaced by a reminder.
3.27 Testing and service functions

Important components and connections are automatically monitored. Errors are reported on the ward terminal or
in the control panel, according to their cause, as “Ausfall” - “Failure” or “Störung” - “Fault”, and unaffected
devices continue to function normally. Test functions which can be carried out at any time, for LEDs, lamps and
audible alarms, allowing the problem-free testing of these system components.

3.28 Automatic safety functions

Automatic and time-controlled monitoring processes prevent signal and speech circuits from being disruptively
affected or blocked by user errors as well as preventing calls from being lost in the event of a power outage.
Regulated call forwarding

The querying of a call stops it from being displayed at other query locations, although new calls are immediately
displayed again. A conversation can neither be influenced nor terminated from another location.
Automatic call forwarding

Calls which are not answered within a certain time in a ward are forwarded to the neighbouring ward, and can be
queried from there (with automatic interconnection of groups in critical cases). This is also the case for calls within
a defined nursing group.
Automatic call termination

To avoid speech circuits getting blocked, patient calls are terminated after a specific time period. This is also the
case if, after having finished the conversation, call cancellation has been forgotten.
Data storage
The system computer saves its current information status for at least 15 minutes during a power failure, and then
saves it again after the power outage. If there is a power cut during a conversation, then the affected room is
marked with a reminder when the power returns.
3.29 Switching of lighting circuits

Every patient handset contains two light switches with faint guide lighting. They are used for the indirect switching
on and off of two lighting circuits (e.g. a “reading light” and “reduced room lighting”).
3.30 Receiving audio programmes

Room terminals and patient handsets also allow the reception of six radio programs via the internal ELAC system.
In addition to the 6 radio programs, sound for television programs can also be separately transmitted to every bed.
If patient calls are being connected and taking place, then the selected program is automatically switched off on the
affected devices.
• All connection devices, apart from parts SVM and SVM-K support the additional connection of
headphones, with sound reception being diverted from the patient handset to headphones when the
headphones are plugged in.
• Also using room terminals in nurse’s rooms and day rooms etc. for ELAC reception too makes it possible
to dispense with separate speakers.
• A separate amplifier in room terminals and patient handsets substantially reduces the workload of the
ELAC control centres.
3.31 Additional Programs

The system software also makes the following additional functions possible from every room terminal:
Group announcements:
Members of nursing staff can make presence-related or general group announcements from any room terminal in
the ward.
Incorporation of additional sanitary units:

The “mini-terminals” that are specifically designed for sanitary units can be used, with each mini-terminal enabling
selective displays for the included rooms. This information is available throughout the entire ward.

3.32 The connection to the in-

in-house IT control centre
Data can be obtained via the control interface and sent for system surveillance purposes or logging of calls and
their completion to the in-house IT control centre.

4 System devices
Using the aforementioned system devices it is possible, in practice, to create any type of system imaginable.
Functions are automatically adapted using the device’s in-built software. The system devices correspond to the
relevant VDE and DIN standards. The devices use screw clips, screw-free clips or ribbon cable connectors for the
wiring connections. Every system device contains all the components and software modules which are required for
all possible system-related uses; an initial supply of LEDs is also included.
• Boxes for counter-sinking, materials for use in the installation process, light bulbs, cabling etc. are all listed
separately in section “11. Accessories” and should be acquired separately.
• Switchboxes and double switchboxes for use in installation in cavity walls and concealed installation are as
standard (as described in section 14 “Accessories”) and can also be obtained elsewhere. The same is also
true for the various wiring materials.
• Some system devices are delivered as individual pieces for economic reasons and installation purposes.
These parts for shipping are listed alongside the relevant devices, including their order numbers.
• Precise advice and recommendations for the selection, planning and configuration of system devices in the
various types of room within a hospital can be found in the chapters “Planning and Installation” and
“Placement of devices” which feature many diagrams and examples.
The standard programming of room terminals and the ward terminals are designed to display consecutive room
and ward numbers (i.e. 01-... in an unbroken sequence). For its part the ward terminal also displays, in addition to
the normal information, other further detailed information about individual wards and the various
interconnections of wards. These devices can also optionally be supplied with a project-specific software package
to display the actual (individual) layout.
4.1 Communication and security from your hospital bed

Patient handset as a handheld unit
Moveable and easy to manoeuvre like a telephone receiver, it

is the ideal communications device for the hospital bed. The
follow functions are available as standard:
• call nursing staff,

• voice connection with staff members,
• operate reading light and room lighting and
• listen to the radio.
The following options are possible:
• Making telephone calls

important room. From here nursing staff members
and doctors can:
• indicate their presence,

• clear calls,
• acknowledge and query calls,
• Set reminders
• call for assistance and even
• make ward announcements.
Each room terminal contains its own computer

system with multifunctional software and many new
advantages - e.g.:
• designed for 6 beds with speech

communication
• Room sanitary units
• beds without a speech connection,
• multiplex sound transfer to patient handsets,
• Membrane keypad, display for plain text
display and LEDs that are not subject to
wear and tear etc.
• Integrated TV controller for two room
TVs (Loewe)
4.3 Communication and security in the ward’s nurses room

The ward terminal is mainly used in the event of a

decentralised system being in effect. Its large colour
screen display and the surrounding functions keys
arranged around it clearly display information for the
user, such as:
• Presence lists arranged by room,

• Signalling and querying of calls, both
chronologically and selectively
• Set reminders
• Bed, room and group announcements etc.
Password-protected programmer level and selection

by room of group care and selection by bed of
enhanced bed calls.

4.4 Communication and security in the central query station

accordingly. An SQL database is installed on the PC in conjunction with this
application.
Control panel software:

A graphical representation of the ward which the control panel is in or all
interconnected wards offers a rapid overview of the nurse call components
integrated in the system. Regardless of call location and call priority, the control
panel can react to a call by means of a single mouse click, connect a call and, if
necessary, set the relevant reminder. Equally it is possible to select a single room or
bed, as per general announcements and those destined for specific people; the latter
being applicable for nurses as well as for doctors. The system distinguishes
between announcements intended for the ward in which the control panel is
located and those intended for the entire system. Up to 7 care groups per ward can
also be assigned up the freely selectable group care options in the standard

VISOTAX PLUS General
General
In many hospitals the requirement for the provision of services for patients is constantly increasing. TV and radio
as well as telephones are available, either free of charge or as a chargeable extra. For this reason, the competent
specialist companies are called upon to offer new innovations and complete solutions time and time again. Schrack
Seconet has created a solution with its VISOTAX PLUS solution, which not only contains the functions listed
above, but also additionally allows billable internet access.
The VISOTAX PLUS billing system is installed as an independent system, but can, however, also be combined the
already familiar VISOCALL PLUS system. The patient handsets with telephony functions possess an integrated
smart card reader. All services that are used are debited from the account which has been assigned to the patient
using the ISO smart card.
Schrack Seconet would also like to be able to offer innovative customer-oriented systems in the future and
therefore hopes for the continued support from hospital decision-makers.

VISOTAX PLUS System Description
System Description
1 General
VISOTAX PLUS is a very flexible billing system. It can be customised to suit customer-specific requirements and
wishes by means of simple programming. The greatest demand is placed on such a system by the billable services,
which the hospital is able to make available to the patient. These services include, for example:
Telephone billing
TV billing for a basic fee (daily fee for 24 hours)
TV billing based on a tariff model (billing per minute)
Internet access based on duration charges (billing with billing interval to the second)
There are different billing models for the billing of services (telephony, television and Internet access). The key to
the system is the smartcard. It is used to identify the patient, and allows the patient to take advantage of the
services on offer. Crediting accounts at the payment station is just an unproblematic as the corresponding debiting
of the account after a phone call has been made, TV has been watched or an Internet access session. On leaving
the hospital the card is surrendered at the payment station and the remaining credit on the account paid out again
The type of billing required can be chosen for each patient. Basically there are two modes: pre-paid and post-paid
billing (see below).
Pre-
Pre-paid billing
In most instances, this type of billing is preferable. The patient purchases a smartcard at the payment station and
the billing system sets up an account for this smartcard. Then it is possible to credit this account with the desired
sum of money. The patient then uses the desired services. Prior to leaving the hospital, the patient hands back the
smartcard at the payment station and received the balance for his remaining credit there and then.
By using this type of billing there is very little administrative effort required and even then it is restricted to system
maintenance as well as filling and emptying the payment stations of money.
Post-
Post-paid billing
This type of billing does not require the smartcard account to be in credit when first making use of the available
services.
The post-paid billing system is primarily used, if the patient should not be burdened with making pre-payments.
The patient either receives a smartcard either at the payment station or from a workstation and can then use all the
services he wishes to. Shortly prior to leaving the hospital he allows his account to be billed and settles the
outstanding sum of money.
Tariff levels
In order for VISOTAX PLUS to remain flexible enough, so-called tariff levels have been prepared for use in the
system. The reason for this is varying charging for all charges that can be incurred. Up to 5 different levels can be
pre-defined for each system. The levels may have differing levels for basic charges and duration charges as well as
for the entering of value added tax.
Analyses
Analyses and financial statements
All services which the patient has made use of can be traced at any time via the billing server. All telephone calls,
all credits and debits, as well as TV and Internet access charges are logged and can be printed out at any time.
The data remains saved for as long as has been configured in pre-programming.
A data backup module allows all data to be archived.
Faults
The system concept allows for occasional faults to be displayed by pop-up windows on the server’s monitors and
on workstations. On which monitors these faults are to be displayed can be determined by means of programming
and can be changed at any time.

1.1 Telephone billing

The very diverse range of requirements for the billing of telephone calls made by patients and the variety of
telephone systems made by various manufacturers ensures that the area of billing of telephone calls can be a very
comprehensive one.
Basically, the billing of a telephone call occurs as follows:
Telephone call without call termination when credit reaches “0”

The patient has credited his account using the smartcard and is logged into the billing system. VISOTAX PLUS
knows which physical extension the patient is at. As per the operating instructions, the patient presses the
“exchange key”. The PINCODE for this card is entered and the patient receives a dialling tone, and thereby the
opportunity to dial a telephone number. Once the call is finished the telephone system sends a billing record to the
billing system. Based on this record, VISOTAX PLUS is able to charge the incurred telephone costs to the
patient's account.
Not all telephone systems offer the possibility of terminating a call using an available interface from an analogue
extension once a pre-defined account balance has been reached. In light of this fact, it is possible to have a
negative account balance when using this type of billing system, but due to the partial authorisation required by the
extension this negative balance can be kept very low.
Telephone call with call termination

termination when credit reaches “0”
knows which physical extension the patient is at. As per the operating instructions, the patient presses the
“exchange key”. The PINCODE for this card is entered and the patient receives a dialling tone, and thereby the
opportunity to dial a telephone number. As soon as the call is connected, the telephone system informs the billing
system which number was dialled at what time of dial and using which PIN code. The billing system is then able to
ascertain based on a chart and the dialling code number, to which zone this telephone call is being made. At the
start of the call, it works out and determines the point at which the call is to be cut off. The telephone system can
then alert the patient to the imminent termination of the call prior to the call being ended by means of a short
tone.
This type of billing is carried out by the interface which is described in chapter 2.x. (Telephone Systems). The
patient’s account balance may not become overdrawn due to a telephone call under any circumstances.
Caution: Not all telephone systems support the “termination when account balance reaches 0" function, therefore
in this instance it is essential that discussions are held with the relevant firms involved.
Number portability
By using the log-in process (by pressing a button for the patient) the billing system will be informed at which
physical extension the patient is located. It is possible for VISOTAX PLUS to carry out the number portability
function using the programming interface described in chapter 2.y. Regardless of where the patient is then moves
to during his/her hospital stay, the patient always remains contactable on the same internal call number for
external callers. The system internally forwards all calls for this virtual telephone number to whichever physical
phone number from which the patient last logged on.

1.2 Television billing

TV basic fee billing (only for TV terminals
terminals and room TV sets)
The patient has the opportunity to activate his television set for 24 hours. For this process, the hospital
administration can demand a so-called daily fee or basic fee.
knows which physical extension the patient is at. In accordance with the operating instructions, the patient would
like to activate his TV set by making a phone call.
The billing server checks whether the account 's balance based on its PIN code and calls the patient back at
his/her extension. The patient finds out via the voice processing system from the billing server, that his/her TV
set can be operated freely for 24 hours.
After this period has expired, the TV set is once again blocked, and the patient has the choice whether he wishes to
watch TV for another 24 hours or not.
TV time-
time-based tariff model (only for TV terminals or Multimedia terminals)
A more detailed billing mode is one whereby charges are debited from the patient's account based on a basic fee
and a time-based tariff. A TV billing tariff model which is saved on the server, allows per minute TV billing.
knows which physical extension the patient is at. In accordance with the operating instructions, the patient wishes
to use his/her TV set. If he selects a channel which is liable to charges, then the charge is debited from the
patient’s account. If there is no credit remaining in the account, then a message will appear on the TV terminal
informing the patient that he is no longer able to operate the television.
The billing server receives data from the patient TV terminal (TVT) on a permanent basis. This data includes the
pin code, date, time and channel at which the television terminal was showing pictures. Based on the billing table,
the server knows exactly how much must be booked from the relevant account. As soon as the channel is changed,
then the server also recognises that this has happened and starts the billing process again.
The TV billing model is so flexible, that it is not only possible to define groups of channels but also to define
billing groups. These billing groups can then be combined in every possible way with the channel groups.

1.3 Internet
Internet time-
time-based tariff (only for Multimedia terminal)
The billing for internet access is done in a similar fashion to television billing.
knows which physical extension the patient is at. In accordance with the operating instructions the patient would
like to surf the Internet.
The Internet server receives the information about how long the patient has surfed the Internet for using his/her
Multimedia terminal via the LAN connection. As soon as the Internet access session has been terminated, the
Internet server sends the billing system the relevant information to that VISOTAX PLUS can debit the costs
incurred from the relevant account. If the account’s credit has been used up, then the patient is no longer about to
start up the Internet browser, and a message also appears on screen with the information that the user is no longer
entitled to Internet access.
1.4 Services for Staff

VISOTAX PLUS also offers the possibility, not just to offer patient services, but also to bill private phone calls by
staff members, in one system. Hospital employees either receive a similar smartcard to the patients, or when
dialling private phone numbers, they use their PIN code as a pre-dial code. Digital telephony devices have speed
dialling memory keys, with whose help it is no longer necessary to have to enter the whole number.
The flexibility of the system can be seen in every kind of application. Even in the deployment of staff member
billing. The available tariff levels can also be used for staff members.
All reports as well as being able to trace all debits and credits at any time as well as expenses incurred can also been
seen, in the same manner as they are in normal patient billing.

2 Hardware
A standard PC with the relevant hardware (see p.9) is used in the VISOTAX PLUS system. The PCs can then be
used both as servers as well as workstations.
2.1 VISOTAX PLUS Server

Each system to be installed requires a server. The server is the central location upon which the databases are
stored. The server serves all the workstations and payment stations integrated into the billing system via the
available LAN, or a LAN that is installed separately.
2.2 VISOTAX PLUS Workstation

The number of workstations to be used within the system can be freely determined and is based entirely on the
needs of the customer.
2.3 TV Server
The TV server acts as an interface between the VISOTAX PLUS Server and the TV hub. It is used when the TV
terminals and Multimedia terminals which have been installed are to be billed using a channel-based and time-
based billing model.
2.4 Internet Applications Server

An additional software package is installed on the Internet Server listed in section 12.10, which transfers the logout
and logout times for Internet access for each individual patient via LAN to the VISOTAX PLUS server.
2.5 Payment Station

without Credit Card Interface
The electronics and the embedded PC as well as the necessary components (banknote acceptor, coin checker, coin
hoppers, receipt printer, smartcard dispenser, smartcard writer, banknote dispenser) are installed and securely
housed in a robust armour-plated steel case. The payment station can be used throughout Europe, and is equipped
to read all Euro denominated banknotes and coins in circulation. For export to other countries using a different
currency, it is necessary to check whether, and how the necessary modifications can be made. The embedded PC
has a LAN interface which is used to connect it to the server. The embedded PC has no hard drive and loads the
operating system in to the cash register directly from the server.
With credit card interface

The payment station mentioned above also offers a credit card interface as an optional extra. The patient thereby
no longer necessarily requires cash in order to make a payment into his/her account, this being carried out via
credit card in this instance. Since there can be several operators of credit card interfaces in every country, it is
necessary to check out the various possibilities for extensions for this option.
2.6 Central POS Server

The central POS server serves the payment stations with their boot software via LAN. It also acts as a
communications interface between the VISOTAX PLUS billing server and the individual payment stations.

Software
The installed software must perform various tasks. On the one hand it is used to receiving and processing patient
and/or staff data as well as the correct assignment and debiting of all services that have been used, as well as one
the other hand being used for setting the system and interface parameters.
WIN NT4.0 (Service Pack 5) or Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2) acts as a platform for all computers integrated
into the system. The LAN is also defined using one of the two operating systems.
The collected data is not just centrally managed and saved on the server, but is also served to every workstation
and cash register as required.
Physically the server is not just connected to the LAN, but is also connected to the telecommunications system.
2.7 Telephone system

Standard interfaces such as the billing data interface (GDE) and the programming interface are connected to the
server via the RS232 port. For special functions, e.g. call termination when account balance reaches 0 and number
portability (every patient is assigned a virtual number on which he/she can be reached anywhere in the building) a
CTI interface or a LAN interface in the telecommunications network are required in most instances. This must,
however, always be clarified in the presence of the relevant contact person from the telecommunications company,
because standard configured Hardware is not always deployed.
Telecommunications
Telecommunications system billing data interface
The server receives all billing records which occur within the system via this interface and filters out the relevant
PIN code phone calls which it requires. Based on the assignment of PIN codes the server is able to bill call charges
to the correct patient account. The telecommunications system, however, only sends the call record after the
telephone call has ended. The last call may in certain circumstances lead to a negative account balance. The CTI
interface provides workaround for this problem (see below).
Telecommunications system programming interface

Basically patient telephones are barred and only cleared for making calls to emergency numbers. Upon being
assigned to a bed, the patient must first of all log-in into the billing system. This is done by using the “check in”
function, either on patient handset PBG-T or Chiptel 190 payphone kiosk. The server now knows at which
physical extension the patient is logged in at and grants the relevant privileges to this extension device based on the
patient's current account balance (depending on customer wishes and account balance – local, national or
international calls…). Activations, privileges, deactivations are carried out using this interface in this way.
For some telephone systems, it is also possible to use so-called “number portability” via this interface. The patient
logs in at his/her new extension each time after having been moved and keeps the same internal number as far as
external calls are concerned, on which he/she can be reached throughout the entire hospital.
CSTA (TAPI or TSAPI) for the Telecommunications System

The term CSTA means Computer Supported Telecommunication Applications and is also often mentioned in
close association with the term CTI. Computer Telephony Integration is a general term.
This interface is basically used in telecommunications systems, when a foreign PC system wishes to connect to the
telephone system.
This type of interface is necessary for special billing system functions. As described above, the server always only
receives the billing records once the telephone call has been ended. A negative account balance in certain
circumstances is unavoidable. However, there is now also the opportunity to receive a brief record from the
telephone system via the so-called CSTA immediately after the call has been connected. The server is able to
calculate the amount to be billed in advance based upon this information which is received, and is able to then
terminate the telephone call.
Some telecommunications systems also support the previously mentioned “number portability” function using this
interface.

Telecommunications system server already available

Some telephone systems providers do not want to allow foreign systems to connect to the programming interface
for security reasons. Via the programming interface it is possible, in principle to carry out all the available
commands listed in the specification, even if they are not necessarily requires by VISOCALL PLUS. Various faults
can therefore occur in the telecommunications system as a result.
In order to keep the risk of this happening as low as possible, the operators have made a computer application
available. This PC may use the widest variety of different systems:
Application Link MD110 (ERICSSON)

Communication Link ALCATEL 4400 (ALCATEL)
BCS Server INTEGRAL 55 (TENOVIS)
Hi Path HICOM (SIEMENS)
The PC regulates communications between both foreign systems and VISOTAX PLUS is able to tailor the
specifications of its interface accordingly. It can also be ascertained based on this specification, which functions
can be carried out from the PC.
The basis premise is:

For all future projects and also possibly for some currently hitherto unknown software applications, specifications
and software descriptions must be obtained from telecommunications systems providers. We will then carry out
the necessary customization.

3 The Software
Based upon the variety of demands placed upon VISOTAX PLUS, it was essential to implement the concept on a
modular basis. The number of extensions used in the system is irrelevant. The modules described below are
optional and can be obtained in the form of licenses.
3.1 Single license modules

Patient management
Application for the server or for a workstation. All patient information, e.g. personal information, account balance,
where they have been moved to etc. can be viewed via this overlay. The software provides a complete overview of
the patient as well as displaying call information and the possibility to log the patient in and out, as well as the
possibility to analyse all patient records, as well as smartcard operation.
Staff management
The VISOTAX PLUS billing system is not only deployable for patients, but also for employees or other
companies. For this overlay, the same functions are available as previously described above in the section about
patient management.
Electronic Phonebook
VISOTAX PLUS offers an optimal opportunity for creating an electronic phonebook. This is, however, only
possible, if patient records are personalised. In an anonymous system, it is possible to find extensions, but no
names can be found for them.
3.2 Network modules

Charges receiver
The charges receiver module is responsible for the billing data interface between the server and the telephone
system. It is used to accept and supply phone call data from the telecommunications system.
Interface program for data transfer

If a server is networked with one or more workstations, then this module takes care of the necessary data transfer
using the TCP/IP protocol.
Television billing - basic fee

VISOTAX PLUS enables a daily / use-related basic fee for using the room TV set, the patient TV Terminal or the
Multimedia terminal. If this software module is integrated into the system, then a flat rate sum is defined for each
patient class, which is debited from the patient’s account if the device is used. This type of TV billing differs from
the time and channel fee billing model.
Discount levels
The hospital's administrators also have the opportunity to offer discount levels which benefit so-called "frequent
callers". Two levels are available per patient class. Once a certain „frequent caller“ sum has been reached, a
predefined percentage reduction is applicable.
Of course it happens time and time again, that patients have to stay in hospital for a longer than average period of
time. In such instances, it is possible to apply discount levels to currently outstanding flat rate fees. Once a certain
number of days have been exceeded, then a predefined percentage reduction is enforced.

3.3 Cash register modules

Payment station integration
In a normal case, the controller software is installed on the billing server. It runs in the background, and collates all
data from all the payment stations in the network. If there are more than 5 payment stations installed, it is
necessary to obtain a central POS server, which takes over the POS tasks from the billing server, so that the billing
server is not overloaded.
Language modules
The payment station’s user interface is in German as a default. Dependent on a customer’s requirements, other
languages can also be installed, such as English, French, Italian etc. To enable this, the additional languages
required will be included in the database.
3.4 Accessory modules

Smartcard integration
In order to be able to read the smartcard on the server or at one of the workstations, a keyboard is required in
which a smartcard reader/writer is integrated or an external chipcardreader.
There are two interfaces available, first the serial one (RS232) and second the USB 2.0 (seperate chipcardunit), you
can use one of them.
The module is able to automatically detect the interface of the smartcard reader is connected to.
Remote maintenance module

The system offers complete access to all PCs connected to the billing system for maintenance and testing purposes
via the remote maintenance module, including the server, the workstations and the embedded PCs in payment
stations.
Backup module
Due to the large quantity of data involved, it is essential to carry out orderly backups. The databases are
permanently in an online state and must therefore be closed and duly backed up. This is not possible with
traditional backup programs. The backup module saves the relevant data on a removable data carrier which has
been specially prepared for the hardware.
3.5 Telephone exchange

Connection to a telecommunications system
VISOTAX PLUS can be customised to accommodate any PABX system, on the condition that the telephone
exchange’s hardware contains RS232 serial interfaces. The module ensures the faultless communication between
both systems.
The following telephone systems have been adapted to would with the billing system.
ERICSSON MD110
SIEMENS HICOM 300/HIPATH READY 4000
PHILIPS SOPHO
CORAL
TENOVIS INTEGRAL 55
If a PABX which is not listed is being deployed in a project, then we develop the relevant interfaces and/or
customisations in conjunction with the relevant telecommunications system manufacturer.

4 The Components
Using the aforementioned components it is possible, in practice, to create any type of system imaginable. The
individual settings are carried out using a pre-defined password level in the patient management overlay.
VISOTAX PLUS offers the user a carefully designed and clear overview.
4.1 The VISOTAX PLUS Billing Server

The server is the heart of the VISOTAX PLUS system. It saves
all collected data in the relevant databases. All data is archived
on the relevant data carriers using the data backup module. All
workstations and payment stations have the appropriate access
to the data which is relevant for them. Communication with the
telecommunications system and possible foreign IT systems is
also included in the VISOTAX PLUS server’s functions.
Additionally, if required, the server also manages the account
balance announcements as well as various announcement texts
using the Voice Processing System.
In the event of servicing, full access is available to all IT
components in the system via remote maintenance.
4.2 VISOTAX PLUS Workstation

From the workstation it is possible to access and modify and/or
delete the data for all patients in the VISOTAX PLUS system.
The entire smartcard operation process also takes place using
this software interface. All data can be analysed using a wide
range of filters. As many workstations as are required can be
used within the system. The system administrator is able to
define user/password profiles for as many VISOTAX PLUS
users as is require from the workstation. This is not only
possible at the start when installing the system, but is also
possible whilst the system is operational.
During the programming of the system, which fault messages
and maintenance messages should appear at which workstations
is also defined.
4.3 TV Server
With help from the TV Server, VISOTAX PLUS is able to bill
TV services according to channels and time watched to the
minute. All data about changes of channel are sent from the TV
hub to the TV server, and are filtered accordingly to be sent to
the billing server. The billing server then bills the user exactly to
the minute for the TV fees incurred according to the billing
model.

VISOTAX PLUS Datasheets
4.4 The Server for the payment station

When installing systems including payment stations a central
POS server is deployed, since the level of data traffic between
the cash registers and the billing server is very high. As many
payment stations can be used as required.
4.5 The Payment Station

Up to 32 payment stations can be installed in a system. An
embedded PC is installed in the payment station, which
functions as an interface between the cash register’s electronics
and the server.
The payment station’s user interface is easy to operate and is
available in various language versions.
The service menu icluded in the software can be reached by
entering a password. In this menu is it possible to fill up the
coin hoppers and the smartcard reservoirs as well as to empty
the banknote checker.

VISO-OPT PLUS

VISO-OPT PLUS System Description
System Description
The VISO-OPT PLUS emergency call system enables people requiring assistance to raise the alarm at a central
location within a building or building complex. The system can, for example, be deployed in the following areas:
Bathroom emergency calls in hotels, emergency calls for disabled toilets in public buildings, schools etc. or also for
emergency calls for changing room cubicles in out-patient clinics and doctors’ practices.
1.1 Standards
Presuming that established VISOCALL PLUS call components (RT, ZT and PT) have been installed in the call
inputs for VISO-OPT PLUS, VISO-OPT PLUS adheres to the following currently valid standards and regulations:
VDE 0834 Part 1 – area of application A

Self monitoring
Self-monitoring of the data circuits guarantees operational security. A fault is displayed as applicable at the base
terminal.
Safety features
Automatic call reminders, integrated into the system prevent calls for being deleted.
1.3 Basic Installation

Infinitely variable system construction
A base terminal and the relevant call device connected to one of the four call inputs form a functional system. The
system can then be expanded on a modular basis. If more than 4 call inputs are required, up to 15 extension
terminals (each with 8 call inputs) can be connected to the base terminal. Consequently there are a maximum of up
to 124 call inputs available. If required, a complete terminal unit can also be installed in parallel.
1.4 Optimal concept for devices

Well thought out components are the mark of VISO-OPT PLUS’ devices concept:
Base terminal
For installation in a double countersunk case or surface-mounted case (vertically or horizontally) for use as a basic
unit.
Extension terminal
For installation in a double countersunk case or surface-mounted case (vertically or horizontally) for use as a
extension unit.
Call and cancel buttons

Even various VISOCALL PLUS call components can be combined with VISO-OPT PLUS.
Signal lamps
VISOCALL PLUS signal lamps can be used for displaying the local call location.
Power supplies
A 24V= power supply, with a maximum power supply of 2A is available for supplying the basic terminals and
extension terminals with power. For calculation of power supply requirements the following applies:

Fully equipped basic terminal (4 soffit lamps): 0.98A with 100% concurrence
Fully equipped extension terminal (8 soffit lamps): 1.86A with 100% concurrence
Accessories
Accessories, such as countersunk cases and surface mounted cases, can be found in chapter 14 of the VISOCALL
PLUS section.

2 The types of system

2.1 Centralised Systems
The basic terminal, which is installed in a central location, offers the user a complete overview for all call locations.
If a call is triggers, the user can either delete the call from this central location or from where the call originated
from: this can be set using the DIL switches.
2.2 Combination systems

If a parallel panel is installed in addition to the basic terminal, then it may be up to 1200m away from the basic
terminal.
Call cancellation can be blocked from there or activated; this can be set by means of DIL switches.
3 The system functions

3.1 Call display
If a call is triggered from a call device which is attached to one of the call inputs, then an alarm signal will sound at
the basic terminal. The relevant control LED corresponding to the call location will also be lit up on the terminal.
3.2 Cancel cancellation

The call can be cancelled in two different ways:
By pressing the relevant button at the basic terminal or extension terminal (call cancellation must be activated)
By pressing the cancel button from the place where the call was made (call cancellation at the terminal must be
disabled)
3.3 Buzzer mute control

The basic terminal’s buzzer can be switched to “mute” by pressing a button.
If the call is not deleted within two minutes, the alarm signal will sound again.
3.4 Faults
Since the VISO-OPT PLUS system is an emergency call system, the quiescent current of all call inputs is
monitored, however, only when used with the VISOCALL PLUS call button, pneumatic button and pull button.
In operating conditions this means that a fault is announced immediately, as sound as the call circuits and/or the
call devices are damaged or disconnected (due to a wire break or a short circuit).
The control LED for a fault lights up and the buzzer sounds.
There is also the possibility of transferring the announcement of the fault to other systems, by using the fault relay.
3.5 Group call relay

A group call relay is integrated into the basic terminal. As soon as a call is triggered, the call can be displayed
externally or be connected via this relay.

VISOCALL FUNK

VISOCALL FUNK

The VISOCALL FUNK system is used in particular in old people’s homes and care homes or also in certain areas
within a hospital. The system is primarily used to supplement the nurse call system, but can, however, also be
combined with a phone dialling device for use privately.

Complete system failure impossible
Each radio transmitter is fitted with an internal capacity controller. The transmitter can display promptly, by means
of the control LED, that it is time to change the battery.
1.2 Optimal
Optimal concept for devices
Well thought out components are the mark of VISOCALL FUNK’s devices concept:
Transmitter
Battery powered radio transmitter for triggering a mobile call.
Receiver
Radio units which can be connected to VISOCALL PLUS and all foreign systems which have voltage-free inputs.
Power supplies
A 24V= power supply, with a maximum power supply of 2A is available for supplying the radio receiver with
power. When connected to the VISOCALL PLUS connection device, the necessary supply voltage required can of
course be drawn from the power supply network for the nurse call system.
Accessories
When using VISOCALL FUNK in combination with VISOCALL PLUS, please see connection devices listed in
chapter 1.
