Indeed the Intercall 600 system is the best selling nursecall system within the UK Since the introduction of Intercall in 1988, we have made people aware that there can be a more flexible, more efficient, more effective way of using nursecall than ever before This leaflet covers our two most advanced addressable call systems, the Intercall 600 and the Intercall 700.
Intercall 600 The INTERCALL 600 is our most popular addressable call system, coupling flexibility with ease of use, it provides a complete solution that out performs practically all other systems available today. Being an addressable system, it requires only one two core connection to network devices and operates at 12volts DC. The room descriptions may be programmed using a laptop computer or similar which can be programmed on or off site as required.
Intercall 700 The INTERCALL 700 is the latest innovation in the Intercall range of advanced call systems. The system boasts all the features of the Intercall 600 system together with hands free two way speech facilities between all audio units. All room call points have an integral infra red receiver which allows a call to be generated away from the call point without the need for trailing wires.

Intercall Accessories All INTERCALL systems can be enhanced with the use of accessories which allows the system to be used by patients with virtually any level of disability. The following list details a few of the most popular accessories with their application and part numbers.

Pear Leads. Pear leads are used to trigger the any Intercall call point. They are available in 2metre and 4metre lengths terminated with a 90 degree jack plug. There is a clip which may be used to secure the lead to bedding or residents clothing. The unit features a wipe clean, soft touch switch which is easy activated with light finger pressure.
“Network” to operate. The Intercall 600 system uses a two core network for power and signals, while the Intercall 700 audio system uses a four core network, one pair for power and signal and the other pair for audio. All units are fitted with a positive (+) and negative (-) terminal and Intercall 700 audio devices have additional (a) and (b) terminals for the audio pair.

The range is between 5 and 12 hours. When used in conjunction with later versions of the Intercall Call Management BED SENSOR CPR ON / OFF Software, the out of bed activity is silently monitored by the software.
With the INTERCALL system, the zoning is configured and controlled by the display units. They have terminals for the zone switch and built in menu functions, which are used to configure the zone requirements. When a system is zoned, we must concentrate on the call point addresses and disregard the text that is associated to that address as this will need to be re-programmed when the system is commissioned.

By using the Call Management Software, it is possible to zone individual alphanumeric pagers to any number of zones and using it with the Intercall 700 system, it is possible to ‘route’ specific call types, locations or users to specific alphanumeric pagers.
