TekTone SF100C Single Bed Room Nurse Call Station 1/4" Jack

The TekTone SF100C is a single-bed patient room nurse call station with a 1/4-inch call cord jack, illuminated call-placed indicator, and manual cancel button designed for the Tek-CARE NC110 visual nurse call system. When a patient activates a compatible SF301-series call cord, the SF100C registers a call at the nurse station and activates the associated corridor light and optional corridor zone light. The station also automatically initiates a call if the call cord is accidentally disconnected, helping alert caregivers to an interrupted patient signaling connection. Featuring a white, flame-retardant UL 94V-0 plastic faceplate, circuit-board-mounted electronics, and plug-in wiring connectors, the SF100C installs in a single-gang mounting ring or compatible dual-gang box with a single-gang ring. Measuring 4.5 inches high, 2.75 inches wide, and 1.75 inches deep, the station is UL 1069 listed and is suitable for hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and other compatible healthcare nurse call installations.

TekTone SF100C Single Bed Room Nurse Call Station with 1/4-Inch Call Cord Jack

The TekTone SF100C is a single-bed room call station designed to provide dependable patient-to-caregiver signaling through the Tek-CARE NC110 visual nurse call system. Manufactured by TekTone Sound & Signal, this patient room station provides a straightforward interface for initiating routine assistance calls from hospital beds, nursing home rooms, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare environments equipped with compatible nurse call infrastructure. The SF100C features a 1/4-inch patient call cord receptacle, an illuminated CALL PLACED indicator, and a dedicated CANCEL push button integrated into a durable white plastic faceplate. Its single-patient configuration makes it suitable for individual bedsides and care areas requiring reliable visual nurse call annunciation without an integrated audio intercom.

The SF100C operates through a compatible TekTone SF301-series patient call cord, allowing a patient to request assistance by pressing the call button on the attached cord. When activated, the station sends a call signal through the connected Tek-CARE NC110 system, illuminating the appropriate indication at the nurse station and activating the associated corridor light. An optional corridor zone light can also illuminate when the call is registered, providing additional visual identification of the area requesting assistance. The station's integrated CALL PLACED indicator illuminates to confirm that the call has been initiated, while the dedicated CANCEL button allows the call to be cleared locally after assistance has been provided. This arrangement supports a straightforward patient calling workflow and helps caregivers identify the origin of a routine service request.

A distinguishing feature of the TekTone SF100C is its automatic call activation when the patient call cord is accidentally removed from the station's receptacle. If the cord becomes disconnected, the station registers a call through the nurse call system, activating the appropriate nurse station and corridor indications. This feature helps alert staff when a patient signaling device has been unintentionally unplugged, rather than allowing the disconnected call cord to go unnoticed. The call can be canceled using the station's local CANCEL button after the condition has been addressed. The SF100C also incorporates a visible call status indicator to provide feedback at the patient room station. These features make the unit particularly useful in patient care settings where accessible and dependable nurse call signaling is an important part of daily operations.

The TekTone SF100C is constructed with a white, flame-retardant plastic faceplate meeting UL 94V-0 material flammability requirements. Its switches and electronic components are mounted on an internal printed circuit board, providing a compact and organized station assembly. The unit measures 4.5 inches high, 2.75 inches wide, and 1.75 inches deep (114 x 69 x 44 mm), allowing installation in common healthcare facility wall configurations. Manufacturer specifications identify compatibility with a single-gang mounting ring or a single-gang ring installed with a dual-gang electrical box. Integrated plug-in electrical connectors simplify connection to the appropriate system wiring. The low-profile faceplate and clearly identified call status and cancel controls provide a practical interface for patient rooms and healthcare environments requiring simple, recognizable call station operation.

The SF100C is designed for integration with the TekTone Tek-CARE NC110 nurse call system and compatible master station, power, control, and corridor indication equipment. The station operates as part of the system's supervised patient call signaling arrangement and does not function as a standalone nurse call controller. A compatible SF301-series call cord is required for normal patient-initiated calling and must be selected according to the application. The SF100C provides a single patient call connection and does not incorporate a built-in speaker, microphone, or two-way audio communication capability. Installers should follow TekTone's system wiring diagrams, mounting instructions, and equipment compatibility requirements when adding or replacing the station. Proper installation also requires verification that calls activate the correct nurse station and corridor indications and that local cancellation and call cord disconnect signaling operate as intended.

The TekTone SF100C is UL 1069 listed for hospital signaling and nurse call equipment under UL File Number E71599, as documented in the manufacturer's specification sheet. Its flame-retardant UL 94V-0 faceplate, automatic disconnected-cord call activation, illuminated status indicator, and local cancellation control support dependable operation in compatible healthcare communication systems. The station is particularly well suited for single-bed patient rooms, nursing homes, assisted care settings, and healthcare facilities maintaining existing Tek-CARE NC110 nurse call installations. The SF100C is a visual signaling station, meaning audible call annunciation is provided by the compatible nurse call system rather than through a speaker incorporated into the room station itself. Combining straightforward patient operation, simple single-gang mounting, reliable call indication, and UL-listed nurse call functionality, the TekTone SF100C provides a practical replacement or expansion component for compatible institutional patient assistance systems.
