NC205 Series

The Alpha Communications®/Tektone NC205 series Tek-Digi-Care™ microcontroller-based audio-visual nurse-call system provides all of the most desirable ergonomic features and functions required by today's health care administrative professionals, at an affordable price. The NC205 addresses the needs of both patient and nurse by combining ease of operation, accurate two-way voice communication, and a simple direct-select nurses' master station.

The NC205 system also includes masters that incorporate SPILL-PROOF membrane switches mounted on an attractive housing. The function keys are colored and grouped accordingly for ease of operation along side the selector LED keys. The handset is an integral part of the master station.

The heart of the system is the Central Equipment (CE). Each CE supports up to four (4) masters with or without master expanders. Total NC205 system capacity is up to 250 stations with the addition of the CE expander(s). All master stations have the ability to select specific areas and/or rooms, set patient priority level and room status, or change and reassign any station within the system. All user programming is a simple step by step procedure, using the color-coded function keys. Many of the more commonly used functions are easily selectable by depressing the appropriate keys on the SPILL-PROOF membrane switch.

Coupling its economic cost with all of the features and functions normally available only on computer driven systems, means you have chosen the most efficient and cost-effective nurse-call system on the market.
