IMPORTANT NOTES
This equipment must be installed and maintained by a suitably skilled and
technically competent person.
The One Zone Call Controller included in this kit is a piece of Class 2
! equipment. However, any metal parts used during installation (i.e. metal
back box) MUST be earthed. The earth termination point on the One
Zone Call Controller is provided for installer convenience only and, as such, should
only be used if an earth connection is not re q u i red elsewhere.

If installing our NC951STRIP kit, in addition to the above items, a 1.5m length of
strip-switch and an NC889 call latch module are also included. Note that specific instructions
on how to connect these two additional items to the system can be found on page 10
(Expanding the system).

Up to three additional 800 Series devices (ceiling pulls, overdoor lights, reset points, etc., can be
connected to the system if re q u i red - see pages 10 & 11 for details). Note that the call con-
t roller also features an onboard volt-free relay which can be optionally interfaced to externally
powered beacons, strobes or other ancillary devices (again, see page 10 for details).
All system components should be sited internally in areas where they are readily accessible
by the person(s) designated to use them. Areas should be clean and dry and the ambient
light and sound levels should allow the status of all device indicators and sounders to be
seen and heard. Any likelihood of tampering or vandalism should also be taken into account.

(standby) plus 15 minutes (alarm running time) in the event of a mains failure.
This will be indicated by the controller’s ‘ON’ LED flashing green approximately once per
second.
Should the mains supply remain disconnected for a prolonged period of time, the battery
backup facility will automatically shutdown to prevent the batteries from deep discharge.
Note that the default setting for Link PLK2 is link not fitted/battery disabled. This is to
conserve battery life and ensure the safety of the controller during storage/transit. Note that
the shorting link required to enable the facility is provided in the kit’s accessory pack.
If required, the call controller can be used to generate an additional, more urgent level of
call using separately available components from our 800 Series Call System range.
Compatible devices include the NC804DE emergency call point and the NC802DEWM water
resistant alert point (see pages 9 & 10 for details). These devices are typically used to allow
the person attending to the call to request additional assistance should the person who
raised the alarm be in distress.
When an emergency/distress call is triggered, an active or muted standard alarm call will be
overridden. The controller’s ‘CALLING’ LED will flash red and its on-board sounder (and
relay) will pulse intermittently. The overdoor light c/w sounder outside the WC will also
pulse to indicate that more urgent assistance is required.
Up to three additional calling devices can be connected to an NC942B call controller. Should
you wish to connect more, consider using an NC941 call controller which is specifically
designed for powering larger single zone call systems. Information on how to connect addi-
tional devices to the system can be found on page 9.

The diagram below shows how to interface a length of strip-switch to the system using an NC889 call
latch module. (Our new NC951STRIP kit includes a 1.5m length of strip-switch and a call latch module
- note that longer lengths of strip-switch and corner pieces can be purchased from your distributor).
