NEW QUANTEC FUNCTIONS AND
ENHANCEMENTS
Available July 2010
USER ID
 Allows infrared transmitters and neck
pendants to be programmed with a
unique User ID (1 to 255) and a 16
character custom name
 User ID information shown on all
relevant displays (Attack > Nurse Smith).
Alternatively, the system can be set up
so User ID is logged in Surveyor only
 Can be used to highlight staff training issues (i.e. too many attacks on one
person may indicate an aggressive member of staff)
 Initial programming requires a QT423 configurator (authorised users can
update names at a Quantec controller)
 Allows a number of other new Quantec functions to be implemented…..
ATTACK TRACK FUNCTION
 Allows Quantec to ‘track’ the course of an
Attack generated via an infrared staff attack
transmitter with User ID
 Quantec analyses the transmitter’s ID and only
shows the last activated receiving device (i.e.
the current location of the attack) on Displays
 A full record of the attack, showing all activated
receivers and the order in which they were
triggered, is logged in Surveyor (can be used
as evidence in courts, etc).
STAFF ATTENDANCE PENDANT
 Allows nursing/security staff entering rooms to log
their Attendance via IR call points/ceiling receivers
 Call points momentarily flash to indicate a
registered call (Attendance calls will NOT show on
displays but will be logged in Surveyor)
 If programmed with a User ID, managers can
monitor which staff are performing their duties
(helps prevent staff sleeping on the job, etc)
 Typical transmitting range = 10m line-of-sight (IR) and 60m (RF)
 Replaceable 12V 8LR50 battery provides 6-12 months operation (battery
low indication provided in Surveyor if User ID is used)
 Can be reconfigured to generate a Standard, Presence/Reset toggle, Help
Required or Reset call using a QT423 configurator.
PATIENT NECK PENDANT
 Allows patients to remotely trigger Standard
calls via IR call points/ceiling receivers and radio
receivers
 Ideal for individual bedrooms and/or communal
areas such as lounges and gardens
 Can be programmed with a User ID and custom
name so staff can see which patient is calling
 Typical transmitting range = 10m line-of-sight (IR) and 60m (RF)
 Includes an anti-ligature lanyard and confidence LED for call confirmation
and battery low indication (battery low indication also provided in Surveyor
if User ID is used)
 Can be reconfigured to generate a Presence/Reset toggle, Help Required
or Reset call using a QT423 configurator.
ENSUITE CALL LEVEL
 Allows slave devices such as ceiling pulls
in bathrooms or shower rooms to generate
a distinct ‘Ensuite’ call level
 Ensuite calls are flagged at the same call
level as Help Required calls
 Ensuite devices must be connected to an
appropriately programmed slave connector
on a new-style Quantec call point…
PROGRAMMABLE CALL POINTS
 Now have programmable ‘CALL’ buttons, ‘RESET’
buttons, remote sockets (if fitted) and two
programmable slave inputs
 CALL buttons, remote sockets and slave inputs
can be programmed via a QT432 configurator to
generate specific call levels (standard, ensuite,
help required, emergency or attack)
 For example, a call point’s ‘CALL’ button can be set to make an Emergency
call on its initial activation, a slave ceiling pull can make an Ensuite call, a
slave panic button can make an Attack call and a tail call lead can make a
Help Required call, or any other combination
 RESET buttons can also now be programmed so they bypass the Presence
call level.

CUSTOM-SITE NAME
 Allows engineers (or authorised users) to
assign a custom site name of up to 16
characters to Quantec displays
 Names can be programmed into the
system via the QT707 programming
software or at a Quantec Controller
MORE ADVANCED PAGING
 Quantec’s call messages can now be routed
depending on:-
• Area of origin (26 options/cap codes)
• Type of call (6 options/cap codes, including
Presence and Reset)
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
• Day/night (2 options/cap codes).
 Paging displays will show the location of the call, the level of the call and
(if relevant) the User’s ID
 An optional re-paging function is also available
 Cap code set up is via the QT707 Programming tools
DECT CAPABILITY
 A new feature allowing call messages to be
directed to third-party DECT telephone systems
 Compatible with MEP (Multitone) or ESPA
protocols
 Output options are as per Quantec’s updated
paging functions.
 DECT capability can be added to existing
Quantec systems by updating the Quantec
Controller
 Programming is via the QT707 Programming
tools
 Multitone can advise on compatibility/interfacing
issues
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
IMPROVED SURVEYOR SOFTWARE
 Can now be interfaced and take data from up
to four Quantec controllers via 4 serial ports.
(All controllers must be located within 30m of
each other).
 Now logs user ID data, Attendance calls and
transmitters/pendants with low batteries.
OTHER ENHANCEMENTS
 Corridor Displays now include a slightly louder buzzer (plus a link allowing
the buzzer to be disabled).
 Call points with call follower sounders can now be programmed so their
beepers operate in day mode/locally and night mode/globally.
 Master IR Receivers now have a programmable slave input (for the
optional connection of slave panic buttons, etc)
