The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has published the reaffirmation of NEMA Installation Guide for Nurse Call Systems (R2007). These guidelines cover the proper physical installation of nurse call systems. This publication provides technical information on basic nurse call systems and their installation.
he standard includes: system types; basic theory of operation; use of ancillary devices; isolation of circuits; system environmental considerations; and installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and service requirements.
The content will help those preparing for proficiency or certification in the design, installation, service, and maintenance of nurse call systems. Although it has been written primarily as a stand-alone guide, it also can serve as a text for apprentices and journeymen taking a class with a qualified instructor.
