Industrial & Healthcare Applications of the SOLT SB6-3XWH-1PSR Bed Unit

The SOLT SB6-3XWH-1PSR wall-mount wireless call button bed unit is engineered for acute healthcare, institutional eldercare, and specialized clinical environments requiring reliable patient-to-attendant signalling. Built around an omnidirectional 360-degree antenna operating on the 400 MHz FSK band, this unit enables facility managers and biomedical engineers to deploy bedside paging endpoints without running conduit or data wiring to central monitoring stations.

Inpatient Hospital Wards and Acute Care Clinics

In inpatient hospital environments, patient rooms require immediate, error-free communication channels between patient beds and the central nursing station. The SB6-3XWH-1PSR installs directly on the headwall adjacent to patient beds using its wall-mount transmitter base (100 mm W x 60 mm L x 16.5 mm H). The tethered 120 cm flexible cord allows bed-bound patients to keep the hand call unit within arm's reach regardless of bed articulation or mattress elevation.

When a patient presses the hand unit call key, an integrated high-brightness LED confirms activation. The transmitter dispatches an FSK RF signal encoded with one of 16 million unique Bell IDs, preventing channel overlap or ID collisions across adjacent rooms. The signal broadcasts directly to nursing desk SM3 series displays (such as SM3-22PN, SM3-23PC, SM3-33PC, or SM3-61PC) and triggers SL6 corridor lights outside the ward door for swift staff routing.

Geriatric Facilities and Assisted Living Centers

Geriatric care environments house mobility-restricted residents who may lack the strength or range of motion to reach fixed wall buttons. The SB6-3XWH-1PSR addresses this via its 1 PSR cable assembly with hand unit, available in curled (P) or straight (PS) cord options. The 120 cm cord can be placed across bed railings, resting surfaces, or armchairs, enabling fast resident signalling without physical overextension.

Assisted living facilities leverage the transmitter's multi-key functional mapping (available in 2X call/cancel and 3X 2 call/cancel configurations). Once care staff reach the bedside to assist the resident, they depress the cancel button on the wall base unit to log resolution and clear the visual alert on mobile SP5, SP7, or SP9 series wrist pagers carried by floor nurses.

Rehabilitation and Long-Term Post-Operative Care

Patients recovering from orthopedic procedures or neurological trauma often face severe mobility limitations. The SB6-3XWH-1PSR functions as a dedicated patient bedside alerting transmitter in rehabilitation centers where dependable call/cancel protocols are mandatory. The 120 cm lead ensures the pendant remains accessible in therapy and resting positions.

Because the unit is powered by 2 x CR2450 coin cell batteries (they are not included), bed placements can be shifted dynamically according to therapy room configurations without requiring electrical reconfiguration or line-power outlets.

Facility Retrofits and Multi-Floor Deployments

Older clinical infrastructure often lacks physical cable runs between patient wings and central duty desks. Deploying the SB6-3XWH-1PSR eliminates the need to disrupt active clinical operations for conduit cutting. System integrators can extend signal coverage across concrete structures and multi-story wards using intermediate SR5-BPR signal repeaters, forming an integrated wireless calling network across thousands of square meters.

  • General Inpatient Wards: Bedside headwall mounting linked to corridor SL6 indicator lamps and centralized SM3 displays.
  • Long-Term Eldercare: Handheld pendant deployment on a 120 cm cord for low-mobility residents, paired with roaming nurse SP wrist pagers.
  • Rehab & Sub-Acute Centers: Independent call/cancel verification via high-brightness LED and dedicated cancel buttons.
  • Retrofit Projects: Completely wireless 400 MHz FSK deployment eliminating downtime, powered by 2 x CR2450 coin cell batteries (they are not included).
