Programming the text messages
The first thing we will need to do is to set the switches on the call points so we can give each unit a text identity. (This
is what will be displayed when the call point is active e.g. ‘BEDROOM 14’) .Before we can begin we need to ask the
following questions:
• Will the system be zoned ? (Operated in areas e.g. wings or floors)
• Will we need more than one call point with the same text (E.g. rooms with more than one bed).
• Will we need special text that is not in the factory default. (E.g. names or wards etc)
If the answer to all of the above is no then we can continue with the factory configuration described below. If the
answer to any of the above is yes, please read the paragraph ‘Custom configuration’.
Factory Text Configuration.
The factory text is programmed into the power supply and displays when despatched from the factory and a listing is
provided within this manual. Simply set the switches on the call point to the desired setting. NOTE: All call points
must have a unique switch setting.
Custom Text Configuration
If a system is to be zoned or where repeated or special text is required, the power supply will need to be programmed.
The text can be customised by one of the following:
i. Configuration Kit part no: LIMKIT. (Runs on any PC compatible computer)
ii. Your Supplier or the factory – A nominal charge is made for this service
Zoning Text
If a system is to be zoned we must disregard the text and concentrate on the call point address as the text can be
programmed at a later date. See page 61 for more information and examples of zoning.
Repeated text.
If a system requires more than one call point to have the same text identity (e.g. two beds in one room) we can set the
call point to an address with a text identity we do not require and re-program the text.
Special text.
If a system requires special text we can either address the first call point 01, the second 02 etc and completely re-
program the entire text or we can use part of the factory text and re-program only certain addresses.
