Dome lights
120 Telligence Patient-Staff Communication System Operation Manual
section from the top shows presence staff levels, and the bottom
light section shows reminder staff levels.
Simple dome light signaling
Passive dome lights can be configured to illuminate steadily or to
flash. A passive dome light inside a patient room (typically by the
bathroom door) requires the HC-PP-LAV lavatory station or the HC-
PB2-CALLR call station, both of which have timers and latching
relays that work with passive dome lights. With these stations, when
the patient presses a button or pulls a cord, the associated passive
dome light illuminates in red. Each station‘s latch then keeps the
passive dome light on until the call is canceled.
Note: Stations that light passive dome lights are usually configured
to also cause associated corridor lights to illuminate in the color
designated for the nurse call, and to either flash at the designated
rate or glow steadily. Because corridor and zone lights do not have
latches and timers, staff members must still press the Cancel
buttons at lavatory stations to cause associated corridor and zone
lights to extinguish.
Nurse call dome light signaling
By default, nurse calls are signaled in dome lights as shown below.
