TekTone SF133 Water-Resistant Emergency Pull-Cord Nurse Call Station

The TekTone SF133 is a water-resistant emergency pull-cord station designed to provide patients, residents, and building occupants with a convenient method of requesting assistance through compatible Tek-CARE nurse call systems. Manufactured by TekTone Sound & Signal, the SF133 combines push-button emergency call activation, an optional adjustable pull cord, a flashing call-assurance LED, and a dedicated reset button within a compact wall-mounted assembly. The station is designed for bathrooms, shower areas, patient rooms, assisted living facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, and other care environments where a readily accessible assistance call point is required. Its dual activation methods allow users to initiate a call by pressing the station button or pulling the attached cord, providing flexibility for installations where the call control must remain accessible from different positions. The station integrates with compatible Tek-CARE nurse call equipment to communicate emergency and routine assistance requests to designated caregivers and monitoring locations.

The SF133 incorporates an adjustable 6-foot (1.83-meter) pull cord that can be shortened during installation to accommodate the intended mounting location and accessibility requirements. Installers can configure the station with the pull cord attached or use the push-button function independently when a cord is not required. When activated, the station registers a call through the connected Tek-CARE nurse call system and provides visual confirmation through its flashing call-assurance LED. The call is communicated to compatible master stations, room controllers with dome lights, zone lights, and duty stations according to the installed system configuration. A dedicated reset button allows personnel to clear the call at the station after the assistance request has been addressed. The SF133 supports interchangeable button caps labeled CALL, EMERG, CODE, RESET, ROUND, and CHECK-IN, enabling the station to identify different assistance and staff workflow functions. Custom call types can also be configured using the TekTone LS450 ConfigTool software on supported systems, providing additional flexibility for facilities with specialized nurse call and staff notification requirements.

The TekTone SF133 features a compact enclosure measuring 4.58 inches high, 3.25 inches wide, and 1.03 inches deep (116 x 83 x 26 mm), designed for mounting to a standard single-gang electrical ring or single-gang ring and box. The station incorporates a flame-retardant UL 94V-0 plastic faceplate with quality electronic components mounted on an internal printed circuit board. Its lever-actuated electrical connectors simplify field wiring and connection to compatible nurse call equipment, while the included mounting backplate supports installation without requiring a separate TekTone IH121K or IH122K mounting kit. The SF133 operates in ambient temperatures from 32 F to 140 F (0 C to 60 C) and supports relative humidity from 5% to 95%, noncondensing. For installations exposed to moisture, including bathrooms, shower areas, and other wet or high-humidity locations, the separately available TekTone SF133GK Gasket Kit is required to provide the manufacturer's specified environmental seal. The gasket kit includes sealing components installed between the station backplate and mounting surface, helping protect the electrical assembly from moisture exposure. When installed in ordinary dry environments, the gasket kit is not required.

The TekTone SF133 is designed for integration with Tek-CARE 120, Tek-CARE 3000, Tek-CARE 400 P5+, and Tek-CARE 400 GEN3 nurse call systems, subject to the compatible system configuration and installation requirements. Its push-button and pull-cord operation supports use in hospitals, assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, patient bathrooms, and other healthcare environments requiring dependable emergency assistance signaling. Manufacturer documentation identifies the SF133 as UL 1069 Listed for hospital signaling and nurse call equipment under UL File E71599. The station supports compatible master station equipment, including the TekTone NC415G3 and NC404TS, and communicates call activity through the connected room controller and annunciation infrastructure. Introduced as a replacement for the discontinued TekTone SF123 customizable two-button pull-cord station, the SF133 provides a purpose-built emergency assistance interface with flexible call-type configuration and improved suitability for moisture-prone care environments when installed with the required gasket. Its combination of dual activation methods, adjustable pull cord, flashing call confirmation, local reset, interchangeable button caps, and compact single-gang mounting makes the TekTone SF133 a practical nurse call station for new healthcare installations and compatible system upgrades.
