Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover the individual unit employed to form
assisted and independent living emergency call systems (ECS)
intended to provide audible and visual signaling between residents
and assisted and independent living facility staff. Some examples
include call initiation stations, call notification stations, and
power supplies.
The units covered by these requirements are intended to be
installed in either general or resident areas in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
These requirements are not intended to cover signaling systems
in a hospital or acute/skilled care environment. Requirements for
systems of this nature are covered by the Standard for Hospital
Signaling and Nurse Call Equipment, UL 1069.
