PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Three CT-200 versions are available for use in retirement communities, 
assisted living facilities, and full time nursing homes. In most cases, they 
will be part of a network of transmitters and receivers tied back to a 
central location (nurse's station, etc.). All versions are powered by long 
life lithium batteries. 

CT-200RB Has both emergency and responder switches. 
CT-200CK Same as "RB" but includes activity monitoring. 
CT-200SD Use with existing smoke alarm systems to send RF report 
to nurses' station.  

RF TESTING 

The CT-200 must be positioned to provide a strong signal to the system's 
receiver. Refer to the appropriate receiver installation manual for details 
on testing the signal. Temporarily place the transmitter at the selected 
location then activate it by pressing a switch or causing a smoke detector 
to trip. Do not hold the transmitter in your hand. Use a piece of tape to 
hold the CT-200 in place if needed. 

Sometimes a small change in transmitter location or orientation can 
overcome a marginal signal. Reconfirm signal reception after the 
transmitter is permanently mounted. 

General Guidelines: 

Do not expose the CT-200 to moisture or to temperatures outside of 
its operating range (40

° to 120° F). 

Avoid mounting the CT-200 on metal frames or surfaces. You may 
need to space the housing off at least 1/4" when mounting on metal. 

The CT-200SD should be mounted within 3" of an existing smoke 
detector with the microphone opening on the side of the case facing 
the detector. Modern smoke detectors sound in a cycle of three 
beeps followed by quiet period. The unit should trip (LED lights) by 
the end of the second beep in the first round of three beeps. 

Test that the CT-200 trips properly at 6" prior to installing at the 3" 
distance. If it does not trip by the end of the second beep, increase 
the microphone's sensitivity until it trips at 6" (see illustration). Do not 
increase the sensitivity more than required since false alarms might 
occur in noisy environments. 

Mounting: 

On the front of the case. push the narrow plastic strip in the direction 
of the arrow and remove it. Loosen and remove the two exposed 
screws. Lift the front away from the back of the case. 

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage electronic components. 
Always touch a grounded, bare metal surface before working with 
the CT-200. 

Place the back against the wall and mark the location of the 
mounting holes. Use an awl or small Philips head screwdriver to 
make holes for the blue screw anchors. Mount the back with the 
screws provided. (Note: The holes match up with standard recessed 
receptacle wall boxes.) 

Set the transmitter's identification number into the coding switches, 
install the battery as indicated by the label in the battery well, then 
reattach the front to the back of the case. 

OPERATION 

The LED of the front of the case lights to indicate an RF report whenever 
the emergency switch (large red button), responder switch (small black 
button), or smoke detector microphone are activated. 

The LED continues to blink after the report if the alarm was caused by the 
emergency switch. It will blink until the responder switch is pressed. While 
the LED is blinking, the CT-200 will retransmit the alarm signal every 5 
minutes until the responder switch is pressed (up to 8 hours). 

The CT-200CK's includes an activity monitor that requires the resident to 
press the responder switch within a 3 hour window each day. The LED 
blinks rapidly to remind the resident during the window. To set the widow 
start time, press and hold in the responder switch until the LED blinks 4 
times. For example, to set a window from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM. press 
and hold the responder switch at 7:30 AM. 

There are no switches on the CT-200SD. 

CT-200's automatically transmit a status/battery report every 66 minutes. 

 

 

Set the ID of the transmitter into the 12 coding switches on the transmitter 
circuit board. Use a small pointed object such as a paper clip to move the 
switch. Setting instructions are found in the receiver installation manual. 

The CT-200 uses a single CR123A lithium battery. Battery voltage 
(good/low) is reported with each hourly check-in report. We recommend 
that the facility's staff change the batteries on a regular basis for each 
user. 

Size: 4.7" L x 3.3" W x 1.0" H 
Battery: Single CR123A, 3 volt, lithium battery. 
Typical Battery Life: Five years for CT-200RB and CT-200SD. Four 
years for CT-200CK. Operation at the temperature extremes may 
reduce battery life. Lithium batteries have a recommended shelf life of 
10 years. 
Operating temperature range: 40

° to 120° F 

No electronic product can perform better than the care 
and maintenance it receives. 

Occasionally, residents may be shown how and when to test the CT-200. 
In most cases, however, testing should be done by the facility's staff. All 
testing actions must be confirmed at the central monitoring location 
(nurses' station, etc.). 

Complete testing of all parts of the system should be performed no less 
than once per month. In some cases, more frequent tests may be 
appropriate. Only the on-site facility personnel can make this 
determination.
