Channel Call System is a wired system where individual devices are connected to the main control panel which when activated, will indicate the exact location of an“event”. Within the Channel Call System, we offer a 10 and 20 zone call controllers, which are compatible with all Channel Call System call points, ceiling pulls, infrared ceiling receivers, monitoring points, overdoor lights and remote sounders. Depending on how the controller is configured and the devices connected to it, both standard and emergency calls can be indicated via its buzzer and zonal LEDs. Two buttons (A and B) are also provided to allow the user to reset, mute or accept standard calls. Flush or surface call controllers are available. The N/CC800 control panels are available to cover 10-90 zones. Please contact us for bespoke systems.

We understand that planning an installation of a nurse call system can be difficult and the rules vary, so please check with the relevant bodies before planning. UK Rest Homes - Social Services will usually approve the installation and the standard system is normally ideal. Their main requirement is for the rest point to be within sight of the caller to ensure the call is attended to properly. UK Nursing Homes - The local health authority will usually approve the installation and the standard system may be satisfactory but some authorities will want the emergency facility. Also, some authorities only allow button operated emergency call/reset points and others require the magnetic key type. N/CC/920S
