Zone Lights
Zone lights are used to locate the source of nurse calls and to show the zone where the room
is located. Zone lights are typically mounted at hallway entrances and in areas where the
nursing staff does not have a direct line-of-sight to corridor lights. Zone lights are typically
placed within sight of nurse stations and readily convey conditions in their zone. By default all
nurse call priorities are covered by the zone lights; however, zones may not necessarily align
with duty areas. Check with your system administrator if you are unsure what area is covered
by the zone lights.
Supervisory Lights
Supervisory dome lights are located near staff consoles and annunciators and are used to alert
staff when a console or annunciator stops functioning, or if the device’s power or data has
been interrupted. When this occurs, all four dome light sections pulsate white and the dome
light emits a tone in time with the flashing lights.
Note: The supervisory dome light is required to maintain compliance with UL 1069.
Dome Light Signaling
When calls are initiated or upgraded, individual dome light sections do the following:
• Light the color corresponding to the event type
• Light steady or flashing to Indicate an event
• Light to indicate the level of presence in the room
• Change color and alternate from steady illumination to flashing when call statuses change,
or when multiple or higher priority events need to be displayed
