32、e requirements cover the individual unit employed to form assisted and independent living emergency call systems (ECS) intended to provide audible and visual signaling between residents and assisted and independent living facility staff. Some examples include call initiation stations, call noticatio

33、n stations, and power supplies. 1.2 The units covered by these requirements are intended to be installed in either general or resident areas in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.3 These requirements are not intended to cover signaling systems in a hospital or acute/skilled car

34、e environment. Requirements for systems of this nature are covered by the Standard for Hospital Signaling and Nurse Call Equipment, UL 1069. 2 General 2.1 System conguration 2.1.1 The minimum fundamental conguration shall consist of the following: a) An emergency call-initiation station with a call

35、assurance indicator suitable for permanent installation in each resident living unit. Typical applications will utilize pendants for residents, multiple call initiation stations in each living unit, and additional call initiation stations in common areas within the facility. b) Call notication stati

36、on(s) that receive calls, one of which must be installed at a xed location. 2.1.2 An ECS employs a dedicated wired, dedicated wireless, or combination of these means for initiation of a resident or staff call, requiring attention. 2.1.3 An Emergency Call System has a Secondary (battery backup) Power

37、 Supply. The length of backup is specied by the manufacturer.

38、all comply with the requirements for that component. See Appendix A for a list of standards covering components generally used in the products covered by this standard. 2.2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in

39、 the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.2.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction featu

40、res or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.3 Units of measurement 2.3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the

41、 requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.3.2 Unless otherwise specied, all voltages are rms. 2.4 Undated references 2.4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the lates

42、t edition of that code or standard. 2.5 Maximum voltage and power 2.5.1 The maximum voltages to an emergency call initiation station, where wet contact is likely to occur (see Wet Area, 3.44), , shall not be more than 15 volts, 60 hertz sinusoidal, 30 volts continuous DC, 21.2 volts peak for nonsinu

43、soidal AC, and 12.4 volts for DC that is interrupted at a rate of 10 200 hertz. See Voltage and Current Measurements, Section 19.

44、this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 ASSURANCE INDICATOR Visual or audible indication on the call initiation station signifying placement of a call. 3.3 AUDIO COMMUNICATION Two way voice communication between the call notication station and the call initiating device. 3.4 BATTERY, PRIMAR

45、Y A primary means of powering a device where the battery is not recharged during normal operation. 3.5 BATTERY, STANDBY A power source utilizing a battery to provide secondary power or the battery used to provide secondary power. See Secondary Power, 3.39. 3.6 CALL CORD A cord with a switch at one e

46、nd and a connector at the other that typically plugs into a call initiation station. The resident places a call to the staff by momentarily pressing the switch. 3.7 CALL INITIATION STATION Any of several types of devices that are able to initiate a call for assistance or to communicate a change in s

47、tatus (to reset or cancel the call) to the emergency call system. 3.8 CALL NOTIFICATION STATION Any of several types of indicating devices that audibly and visually notify the appropriate staff that a call for assistance has been made. 3.9 CENTRALIZED SYSTEM A system whose operations are monitored a

48、nd controlled from a call notication station. It includes call initiation stations installed in resident and related areas that are not normally visible from the central control point. 3.10 CIRCUIT, HIGH-VOLTAGE A circuit having characteristics in excess of those of a low-voltage, power-limited circ

49、uit as dened in 3.11. 3.11 CIRCUIT, LOW-VOLTAGE (POWER-LIMITED) A circuit involving a potential of not more than 30 volts AC, rms (42.4 volts DC or AC peak) and not providing more than 100 volt-amperes rated output. 3.12 CLASS 2 CIRCUITS Circuits that conform to the Class 2 circuit requirements of Article 725 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. Class 2 circuits are power-limited, either inherently or by a combination of protections against excessive current at the power
