NC951 Disabled Persons
Toilet Alarm
C-TEC's market-leading NC951 Disabled Persons Toilet Alarm kit includes everything required for a BS8300 clause compliant emergency assistance alarm (except cables and fixings).
Attractively designed, easy to install and simple to use, it allows a distressed person to raise an alarm in the event of an emergency. To operate, the user simply pulls the cord of a ceiling pull unit to activate a light and sounder outside the WC.
Tried, trusted and respected by users and installers alike, the NC951 can help building managers and service providers comply with the requirements of BS8300, the Disability Discrimination Act, the Care Standards Act and the English Tourism Council's National Accessibility Scheme.
The NC951 is also ideal for use as a single zone emergency assistance alarm in changing rooms, solariums, interview rooms and reception areas.

C-TEC's NC951 Standard Disabled Persons Toilet Alarm Kit comprises:

	An NC942B Call Controller c/w onboard 12V PSU, a volume adjustable buzzer, a zonal alarm LED (to provide audible and visual indication of a call), a mute/reset button (for silencing or cancelling calls) and a volt-free relay with normally open, closed and common contacts rated at 30Vd.c. @ 1A. It also includes a 500mA battery back up facility that will continue to power the system for up to 24 hours standby and 15 minutes (alarm running time) in the event of mains failure. The controller’s label also includes Braille text for the benefit of visually impaired members of staff.
	An NC809DBB Remote Reset Point c/w Sounder. Designed for use alongside the WC, the NC809DBB allows calls generated by the ceiling pull to be cancelled at source, i.e. inside the WC. It also features an on-board reassurance LED and sounder (to provide audible and visual indication of an alarm call inside the WC and to help reassure users that help is on its way). Like the call controller, the reset point’s label includes Braille text for ease of use by the visually impaired.
	An NC807C Ceiling Pull incorporating a red confidence indicator (to reassure the user that a call has been made), a 3m cord and two red triangular pull bangles, specially designed for ease of use by the infirm. Note, for applications requiring more than one point of call (for example at the WC and the wash basin), up to three ceiling pulls can be  daisychained together.
	An NC806CS Overdoor Light c/w Sounder.  Used to provide additional audible and visual indication of an alarm call outside the WC, the NC806CS features a series of ultra-bright LEDs in a triangular shaped diffuser making it highly visible from a distance. Usually located directly outside the WC above the door.
	An NC949 Disabled WC Sticker, gloss finished in permanent vinyl featuring the universally recognisable Disabled WC symbol. Easy to follow system design, installation and user instructions.

Addressable Call Systems

Revolutionary - that’s just one of the words that have been used to describe Quantec, the most innovative addressable call system in the UK.   Costing over a million pounds to develop, the way the system operates can be tailored to suit a care facility’s specific requirements. For example, different day, night and call divert arrangements can be easily accommodated to meet the exact operational needs and precise layout of any building. This flexibility, coupled with many other advanced features such as multiple call levels, free built-in datalogging, simple system reprogramming and full monitoring of all network devices, makes Quantec the obvious choice for nursing homes, hospitals, health centres and many other private and public sector establishments.

Easy to use From the moment Quantec is up-and-running, you will begin to reap the benefits of the most advanced, versatile and affordable call system on the market.  Quantec’s easy-to-read backlit displays show the precise location of all relevant incoming calls and indicate their presence via a gentle unobtrusive alarm tone. Should you visit a room only to find additional assistance is required, simply reach across to the nearest call point to make a ‘help required’ or ‘emergency’ call. Quantec will prioritise your call, show it on all relevant displays and indicate its higher priority with a more urgent alarm tone easily recognisable by fellow staff.

Clear & concise To say Quantec is easy to use is an understatement. Despite its many features, it is one of the easiest to use call systems ever manufactured. Calls can be made from a variety of devices including tail call leads, ceiling pulls and pressure pads, each designed to suit different levels of patient dexterity. Once triggered, calls are reset at the room from which they were made via a button or magnetic reset key. A confidence light on the bedhead reassures patients that calls have been registered, and for those prone to wander, door monitoring points and portable movement detectors can provide added protection.

QUANTEC RESPONDER For people working in the care industry, the threat of personal attack is all too real. The problem is: how do you safeguard against the risks? Enter Responder, Quantec’s optional staff protection facility which allows workers to highlight exactly where an attack is taking place within seconds.  All at risk staff carry a special rechargeable transmitter which they attach to their clothing. Should an attack take place, they simply activate the transmitter to fill the area with infrared and radio signals.  These signals are picked up by a special receiver which instantly informs Quantec that an attack is taking place. An urgent, piercing alarm is then sounded throughout the building and the exact location of the incident is shown on all displays for the swift response of security staff.
QUANTEC SURVEYOR Quantec's powerful new data management software allows detailed data analysis reports to be sent direct to your PC’s desktop. In addition to displaying 'real-time' call, reset and room occupancy information, Surveyor allows you to produce reports on criteria such as longest calls, most frequently visited rooms, busiest shifts and the average time taken to answer a call for any given period within the last six months and to view them in text and/or graphical form. Surveyor gives management tighter control of their care facility and is an invaluable tool for evaluating staff performance, reviewing patient demands and determining labour levels/shift patterns.
QUANTEC CONFIGURATOR Need a call system that complies with HTM-2015?  Got a third-party stainless steel switch assembly you'd like to connect to Quantec?  Want to tailor the way a Quantec Responder transmitter works to meet your exact operational requirements?  Our new Quantec Configurator allows you to do all of this and more. With its powerful Windows-based PC software and wide range of universal programming devices (available separately), our new Quantec Configurator tool effectively turns Quantec into one of the most adaptable call systems in the world.   Now virtually any third-party annunciator, sounder or indicator can be added to Quantec with ease.
