8. Laying cables<br />

8.2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)<br />

56<br />

All components of the nurse call system remain well below the specified electro‐<br />

magnetic compatibility (EMC) limit values. Nevertheless, in individual cases<br />

and under certain conditions, faults can arise in the nurse call system due to<br />

insufficient interference suppression of fluorescent lamps, e.g. in medical sup‐<br />

ply units.<br />

The customer must ensure that appropriate precautions are taken in order to<br />

prevent such external interference and the resulting faults. It may be possible<br />

to prevent these faults by installing interference suppression elements (varistor<br />

circuits). The varistor circuits are available from the manufacturers.<br />

<strong>Tunstall</strong> <strong>GmbH</strong> supplies the 230 V AC overvoltage protection filter (Order no.<br />

70 0890 97) for this.<br />

The EMC behaviour of different medical supply units can vary greatly. Even two<br />

supply units of the same type can behave differently if they are wired up dif‐<br />

ferently.<br />

Nurse call systems normally have a widely extended spatial structure, the EMC<br />

behaviour of which is influenced by the configuration of the wiring network.<br />

Also bear this in mind when retrofitting or when converting existing medical sup‐<br />

ply units.<br />

8.2.1 Cables of the power system or other systems carrying<br />

hazardous voltage<br />

The cables of the nurse call system power circuits must not be routed in com‐<br />

mon cables, pipes or installation ducts together with wires of the power system<br />

or other systems carrying hazardous voltage.<br />

The cables of the nurse call system and the power system must be laid with a<br />

minimum spacing of 30 cm. In the case of shorter sections of less than 10 m,<br />

a spacing of 10 cm is regarded as sufficient.<br />

230 V / 400 V AC<br />

Spacing > 30 cm<br />

In medical supply units, the specifications of ISO 11197:2004 apply to laying<br />

wiring.<br />
