Nurse Call Interface (with 8374NC or 8374NPNC System)
You can connect the KeepSafe Deluxe Nurse Call System to your facility nurse call system. This allows you
to add the options and notification associated with your specific nurse call system such as nursing station
notification and patient room lights and sounds.
To Connect the Nurse Call Cable:
1. Insert one end of cable into “Nurse Call” jack on left side of alarm (fig. 10).
2. Insert the other end of cable into wall jack of nurse call panel.
Depending on your system, you may need a “Y” adaptor to use the
Posey KeepSafe Deluxe Nurse Call System and the patient nurse call
device at the same time.
When using a nurse call cable, ensure the nurse call
cable is plugged in to both the alarm and the wall jack before leaving
the patient unattended. Verify that an alert is received at the nursing
station if the cable is unplugged from the wall jack.
NOTE: There will be no alert at the nursing station or at the bedside if the nurse call cable is
unplugged from the alarm.
