Washroom Mounting Location and Positioning
The SOLT SB6-2XWH-S emergency pull-cord transmitter is engineered for vertical surface mounting on washroom, disabled toilet, and bathroom walls. Position the unit adjacent to the toilet fixture, bath, or shower stall at an ergonomic wall height that allows the 1.0-meter pull string to hang freely downward toward the floor. This placement ensures that a patient or resident who has slipped or fallen can easily access and pull the cord from floor level, fulfilling NABH and JCI emergency response standards for healthcare sanitary facilities.
Because the unit features a compact white slimline enclosure measuring 100 mm in length by 60 mm in width by 16.5 mm in depth and weighing approximately 50 grams, it mounts securely onto standard tiled, drywall, or composite washroom partitions. Its water-resistant casing provides vital protection against airborne humidity, moisture, and accidental water splashes common in hospital and assisted living wet zones.
Wireless RF Architecture and Infrastructure Planning
Unlike conventional wired emergency call buttons, the SB6-2XWH-S operates completely wirelessly, eliminating the requirement for complex conduit rough-ins, wall channelling, or hardwired signal cabling across washroom moisture barriers. The transmitter utilizes Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) low-power data transmission operating within the 400 MHz frequency band, supported by an internal built-in PCB antenna that provides omnidirectional 360-degree wireless propagation.
When planning facility-wide coverage, consider structural barriers such as dense reinforced concrete walls, heavy tile backing, or metallic plumbing chases that could attenuate RF signals. In facilities with extensive floor layouts or multi-floor hospital wards, deploy intermediate SOLT SR5-BPR wireless signal repeaters outside the washroom perimeter to boost transmission distance between the washroom transmitter and the central monitoring station.
Power Preparation and ID Registration
Before securing the casing permanently to the wall surface, install 2 x CR2032 lithium coin batteries (they are not included) into the internal battery holder with correct polarity. Once powered, configure the device within your wireless nurse call network:
- Address Assignment: Assign one of the 16 million discrete bell ID codes to the unit to ensure distinct transmitter identification without signal collision or cross-talk between adjacent patient rooms.
- Receiver Pairing: Register the transmitter's unique ID into the target SOLT master consoles, such as the SM3-32PN, SM3-33PC, SM3-61PC, or SM3-23PC nurse station displays.
- Central PC Integration: If facility-wide logging is utilized, pair the bell ID into the SOLT SR5-MPR central monitoring receiver running the SOLT PC Manager software.
- Peripheral Synchronization: Link the transmitter logic to illuminate corresponding SOLT SL6 corridor overdoor indicator lamps and dispatch instant text alerts to SOLT SP5, SP7, or SP9 wearable staff watch pagers.
Commissioning and Functional Verification
Execute a comprehensive commissioning test prior to handing over the installation to clinical staff. Pull the 1.0-meter emergency string to initiate a call; confirm that the high-brightness red LED on the face of the unit illuminates to deliver immediate visual confirmation to the patient. Verify that the alphanumeric console at the nurse desk registers the correct washroom location, the corridor overdoor light triggers, and mobile watch pagers vibrate.
Depress the front-facing cancel button on the SB6-2XWH-S transmitter to confirm that the call state clears across the central receiver, indicator lights, and staff pagers. Record the location ID and Indian Custom/HSN classification code 85176910 in facility asset maintenance logs for ongoing documentation.
