FALL MANAGEMENT
Nurse Call Adapter Cable Set
You can connect the following Posey alarms: Sitter Elite
(8345), KeepSafe Deluxe (8374, 8374NP) and Sitter Select
(8361) to your facility’s nurse call system to communicate
with the nursing station in one of two ways:
1. The 8282 will connect the alarm to a nurse call system if
the wall outlet has a ¼” jack and you want to connect
the alarm only.
2. If the wall outlet is not a ¼” jack or if you need a nurse
call button in conjunction with the alarm, you will then
require the Nurse Call Adapter Cable Set (adapter and
nurse call cable). We offer the following set of part
numbers that include both adapter and nurse call cable
for use in tandem. (See list above.)
To Connect the Nurse Call Cable Only
Insert one end of cable into aperture labeled “Nurse Call”
jack on the appropriate side of alarm (8345 right, 8374 left,
8361 left).
Insert other end of cable into wall jack of nurse call panel.
Connecting the Adapter to Nurse Call Cable
If you require an adapter to connect to the nurse call cable
to communicate with the nursing station:
Insert one end of the nurse call cable into one socket of
the adapter. Then place the nurse call cable system
connector into the wall outlet. Plug your existing call cord
into the other socket of the adapter.

When using a nurse call cable, ensure the
nurse call cable is plugged into both the alarm and wall
jack before leaving the patient unattended. Verify that
an alert is received at the nursing station if the cable is
unplugged from the wall jack.
NOTE: There will be no alert at the nursing station or at
the bedside if the nurse call cable is unplugged from the
alarm.
• Do not stretch or strain cable to avoid possible
damage and possible malfunction.
• Do not attach cable to moving parts of the bed or
chair that will cause strain or damage if the bed or
chair is repositioned.
• Always position the cable so that moving parts (side
rails, wheels, etc.) will not cause strain or damage the
cable.
• Do not run over the cable with carts or equipment.
• Do not wrap the cable tightly during storage.
• Always remove the cable by pulling on the jack. Do
not pull on the cable.
• Always secure the cable out of the way so that it will
not be a tripping hazard.
• Always test alarm and nurse call function prior to
leaving the patient unattended. Activate the alarm
(remove pressure from sensor, unfasten chair belt
sensor) and make sure the nurse call light for the
proper bed and room activate in the hall and at the
nurses’ station.
• Do Not use the alarm sensor if they don’t activate
each time weight is removed from the sensor or the
chair belt is unfastened. Replace alarm and sensor
with working units and retest before leaving patient
unattended.
