How to Use VERBEX Wireless Hospital Calling System – Installation, Setup & Operation Guide

The VERBEX Wireless Hospital Calling System is designed to help patients quickly request assistance while allowing nurses and hospital staff to receive, identify, display, and manage calls from different rooms, beds, toilets, and care areas.

A complete VERBEX hospital calling solution can include the following devices:

• VERBEX VT-H920WJS2 – 10.1-inch Wireless Information Host
• VERBEX VT-H601WJ – Single-sided Wireless Dot Matrix Information Screen
• VERBEX VT-H002-WG1 – Information Repeater for RF433 Pagers
• VERBEX VT-Y700 – RF433 Three-color Door Light
• VERBEX VT-FS2WR – Waterproof Pager with Drawstring
• VERBEX VT-FS2W – Waterproof Pager with Handle / Stand

Together, these devices create a wireless patient-to-nurse communication system for hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, elderly-care facilities, diagnostic centers, and other healthcare environments.

How the VERBEX Hospital Calling System Works

The basic communication process is:

Patient Call Button → Wireless Signal → Repeater if required → Main Information Host → Corridor Display / Door Light → Nurse Response

For example, when a patient presses the VT-FS2WR call button beside the bed, the system sends a wireless call signal.

The call is received by the VT-H920WJS2 Wireless Information Host at the nurses' station. At the same time, the call information can appear on the VT-H601WJ dot-matrix display, while the VT-Y700 three-color door light provides visual indication outside the corresponding room.

For larger hospitals, a VT-H002-WG1 repeater can be installed to extend wireless communication coverage.

Step 1: Plan the Hospital Calling System

Before installation, create a simple map of the hospital.

Identify:

• Patient rooms
• Patient beds
• Nurses' stations
• Toilets and bathrooms
• Hospital corridors
• Emergency areas
• ICU or recovery rooms
• Reception areas
• Areas with thick walls or weak wireless coverage

Each call point should have a unique room, bed, or device number.

For example:

Room 101 – Bed 1
Room 101 – Bed 2
Room 102 – Bed 1
Room 103 – Toilet
Room 104 – Emergency Call

This makes it easier for nurses to identify exactly where assistance is required.

Step 2: Install the VERBEX VT-H920WJS2 Main Information Host

The VT-H920WJS2 10.1-inch Wireless Information Host works as the main monitoring and management terminal.

It is normally installed at:

• Nurses' station
• Main nursing desk
• Hospital reception
• Central monitoring room
• Care-center control room

Main functions

The host can support:

• Real-time call monitoring
• Call-status display
• Customized call information
• Customized screen background
• Customized voice-broadcast information
• Logo and standby image display
• Time display
• Large-screen protocol connection
• Third-party server connection
• Different application-frequency settings

The specification sheet indicates an operating frequency range around 420–450 MHz, depending on configuration.

Recommended installation position

Install the host where staff can clearly see and hear incoming call notifications.

Avoid placing the device:

• Behind large metal objects
• Inside closed metal cabinets
• Directly beside powerful electrical equipment
• Near strong sources of RF interference

A central position usually provides better wireless communication.

Step 3: Configure Room and Bed Numbers

Every wireless call button should be assigned an identification number.

For example:

The exact programming procedure depends on the system configuration supplied with the devices.

After programming, test every button individually.

When the patient presses the call button, the correct location should appear on the main host.

Step 4: Install the VERBEX VT-FS2WR Patient Call Button

The VERBEX VT-FS2WR Waterproof Pager with Drawstring can be installed beside a patient's bed or in areas where a pull-cord calling option is useful.

It supports two calling methods:

1. Panel button call
The patient presses the CALL button.

2. Pull-cord call
The patient pulls the attached cord to request assistance.

The pull-cord function is particularly useful for patients who may have difficulty reaching a wall-mounted button.

Recommended locations

VT-FS2WR can be considered for:

• Patient beds
• Toilets
• Bathrooms
• Disabled-access areas
• Elderly patient rooms
• Rehabilitation centers
• Assisted-living rooms

The specification describes the unit as having an ABS shell with waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant construction.

Step 5: Install the VERBEX VT-FS2W SOS Call Unit

The VERBEX VT-FS2W Waterproof Pager with Handle / Stand provides another patient-call option.

Its large red SOS area makes the purpose of the unit easy to recognize.

It can be used in locations such as:

• Hospital bathrooms
• Patient rooms
• Elderly-care facilities
• Rehabilitation areas
• Accessible toilets
• Emergency assistance points

When the patient activates the call, the signal is transmitted wirelessly to the monitoring system.

The hospital should assign every SOS unit to the correct room or location during configuration.

Step 6: Install the VERBEX VT-Y700 Three-Color Door Light

The VT-Y700 RF433 Three-color Door Light is designed to provide a visual indication outside a patient's room.

Install the door light:

• Above the room entrance
• Beside the patient's room door
• In a location visible from the corridor

When a patient sends a call, the door light can provide visual notification for passing nurses and hospital staff.

The specification indicates:

• Three selectable colors
• Four high-brightness LED flash lights
• Compatibility with single-key and multi-key call terminals
• Digital coding technology
• Wireless operation

Hospitals can configure different light indications according to their workflow.

For example, an organization may choose to use different colors for different call conditions, but the exact color assignment should be configured according to the installed VERBEX system and hospital procedures.

Step 7: Install the VERBEX VT-H601WJ Corridor Information Display

The VT-H601WJ Single-sided Wireless Dot Matrix Information Screen provides a larger visual display of call information.

It can be installed:

• In hospital corridors
• At nurses' stations
• Near reception areas
• At ward entrances
• In centralized monitoring areas

The display supports automatic processing and loop display of call information.

It can also show standby information such as:

• Time
• Logo
• General information

The supplied specification indicates support for multi-language information and built-in audio output, with the possibility of connecting an external active speaker.

Example

If a patient in Room 205 calls for assistance, the display could show information identifying that call location.

This helps staff notice calls even when they are not directly looking at the main control terminal.

Step 8: Install the VERBEX VT-H002-WG1 Wireless Repeater

Hospitals can contain many obstacles to wireless communication, including:

• Thick concrete walls
• Elevators
• Multiple floors
• Long corridors
• Fire doors
• Large medical equipment
• Separate buildings

The VERBEX VT-H002-WG1 Information Repeater is designed to extend the communication range of the wireless system.

According to the provided specifications, it supports:

• RF wireless signal relay
• LoRa spread-spectrum modulation
• Approximate open-area coverage of up to 1 km under suitable conditions
• Approximately 400 pager devices
• 420–450 MHz application-frequency configuration
• Learning-code technology

Actual range inside a hospital can be lower because walls, equipment, building materials, interference, and installation position affect wireless performance.

Step 9: Test Every Call Point

Testing is one of the most important stages of installation.

After installation, test each patient-call button one by one.

Test procedure

1. Press the patient call button.
2. Confirm that the main host receives the call.
3. Verify the correct room or bed number.
4. Check the corridor display.
5. Check the corresponding door light.
6. Verify any audible notification.
7. Test the system from the furthest hospital rooms.
8. Test bathrooms and emergency call points.
9. Test areas located behind thick walls.
10. Verify repeater performance where installed.

Keep a commissioning checklist for every room.

Step 10: Train Nurses and Hospital Staff

The system works best when staff understand what each notification means.

Training should include:

• How to recognize incoming patient calls
• How room and bed numbers are displayed
• How emergency calls are differentiated
• How to respond to calls
• How to clear or reset calls
• What different indicator lights mean
• What to do if a device stops responding
• Who should be contacted for technical support

Hospitals should also establish an internal response policy for patient calls.

Example Patient Call Workflow

Consider a hospital patient staying in Room 305, Bed 2.

The patient requires assistance.

Stage 1

The patient presses the VERBEX call button.

Stage 2

The call button sends the wireless signal.

Stage 3

If the room is far from the nurses' station, the VT-H002-WG1 repeater can relay the signal.

Stage 4

The VT-H920WJS2 host receives the call.

The nurses' station can identify the call location.

Stage 5

The VT-H601WJ display shows the corresponding call information.

Stage 6

The VT-Y700 room indicator provides a visual indication outside the patient's room.

Stage 7

A nurse goes to Room 305 and assists the patient.

The call can then be cleared or reset according to the configured system procedure.
