The SOLT SB6-2XWH-F wireless transmitter (cataloged under KT Automation reference KTI040120SLTB62X) delivers targeted emergency alert and staff paging capability in operational environments where standard wall-mounted switches are impractical or inaccessible. Equipped with a tethered 1.4 m cable linked to a foot-actuated switch, the unit separates the physical point of actuation from the RF broadcasting chassis. Operating on the 400 MHz band using low-power Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation, the transmitter supports high-density healthcare facilities by preventing RF co-channel interference and bypassing structural communication wiring.
Surgical Suites and Operation Theatres (OT / OR)
Maintaining a sterile field in surgical suites and operating rooms requires personnel to eliminate unnecessary manual contact with non-sterilized fixtures. The SB6-2XWH-F serves as a dedicated hands-free call point inside OR and OT environments. Clinicians, scrub nurses, and anaesthetists can place the tethered foot-step switch directly beneath operative stations, scrub sinks, or consoles to request secondary assistance, circulating support, or sterile supplies without breaking scrub protocol.
Activation of the stepping switch triggers transmission through the built-in helical antenna, providing 360-degree omnidirectional radio propagation to receiver stations. Visual acknowledgement is verified by a high-brightness LED integrated into the faceplate of the 100 mm (W) x 60 mm (L) x 16.5 mm (H) Snow White transmitter chassis. Once support arrives, the call event is resolved locally using the dedicated Cancel button on the main unit face.
Hospital Washrooms, Patient Toilets, and Wet Rooms
Patient restrooms present acute risks for slips, falls, and syncopal episodes where patients cannot reach wall fixtures mounted at standard switch heights. By mounting the SB6-2XWH-F transmitter body securely on the wall and running the 1.4 m tethered cable down to floor level, healthcare facilities establish an immediate floor-accessible distress mechanism. A fallen patient can actuate the stepping button using minimal foot, hand, or body pressure to transmit an alert, resolving safety vulnerabilities in accessible toilets.
Assisted Living, Geriatric Care, and Mobility-Impaired Patient Units
In rehabilitation wards and long-term nursing care facilities, residents with upper-limb mobility limitations, severe arthritis, or post-stroke motor impairment often struggle with standard finger-depressed call bells. Positioning the foot-step button near the base of specialized beds or wheelchair resting areas provides these residents with an independent call path. Implementing these hands-free calling points assists facility administrators in meeting NABH and JCI accreditation requirements regarding responsive patient safety infrastructure.
Enterprise Architecture Integration
The SB6-2XWH-F communicates across the broader SOLT wireless nurse call ecosystem, directing call and cancel signals to multiple terminal endpoints without requiring network cabling:
- Central Nursing Stations: Alerts route directly to multi-channel master receiver display panels, including models SM3-32PN, SM3-33PC, and SM3-61PC.
- Mobile Medical Staff: Call triggers broadcast instantly to roaming personnel wearing SP5, SP7, or SP9 series alphanumeric wrist pagers.
- Corridor Wayfinding: Radio signals synchronize with SOLT SL series multi-color corridor door lights to highlight active emergency rooms for rapid triage.
- Extended Facility Coverage: RF transmission through multi-ward, reinforced concrete construction is reinforced using SOLT SR5-BPR signal repeaters.
- Audit Logging & Administration: Transmissions interface with central management terminals via SR5-MPR receivers running logging software to record call activation and cancellation metrics.
Powered by CR2032 coin cell batteries (they are not included) delivering an operational life of 1 to 3 years, the SB6-2XWH-F installs rapidly across retrofits and new builds under Indian trade classification HSN 85176910.
