Thoughtful solutions throughout
Just how intelligent the solution is for a
rest and nursing home is illustrated partic-
ularly by the fact that all the relevant re-
quirements are fulfilled. With its modulari-
ty and flexibility, GAMMA instabus is
ideally suited to all a rest and nursing
home‘s interests.
Resident‘s rooms
• The residents‘ activities can be report-
ed via presence and motion detectors or
key sensors.
• Access control systems simplify opera-
tion of the doors and report unauthor-
ized attempts to open them. Lost cards
can be replaced more cost-effectively
than keys.
• If a person is absent, unneeded consum-
ers, such as lighting, cookers and irons,
can be automatically switched off via
the access control system.
• Room functions can also be set with a
hand-held remote control. This is par-
ticularly helpful for elderly persons with
restricted mobility and thus saves on
care expenditure.
• Room functions are operated by means
of an illuminated pushbutton, clearly
labeled or provided with symbols.
They are accordingly ideally suited also
for elderly persons with reduced visual
acuity.
• The timed air delivery and extraction
control guarantees high air quality and
saves energy costs.
• If a resident opens the window, the
heating is turned down automatically.
Windows that are left open for an ex-
tended period can also be reported to
the care station.
• Individuals who need help in the bath-
room or in their room can use pull cord
buttons to raise the alarm quickly and
easily.
• Motion detectors installed in the floor
switch on orientation lighting at night
if one of the residents gets up.
Restrooms
• The lighting and extraction system can
be presence-dependent – without
pushbutton operation. This is particularly
convenient for residents with reduced
mobility and saves energy costs.
• Water sensors give early warning of
pipe fractures and flooding.
Nurses‘ room/base
• The nurses‘ room is equipped with a
control panel for the distribution cen-
ter, in order to control building functions
centrally at the ward. Functions in the
residents‘ rooms can be indicated and
controlled. Alarms will be reported.
Social/Communal/Event rooms/Chapel
• With one touch of a button, you can set
up the entire room for the current use at
the time (scenario control). For example
in the chapel, all lights can be set appro-
priately with a single touch of a button. In
event rooms, while giving a presentation,
you can lower the blinds, switch on the
beamer/digital projector, roll out the pro-
jection screen, switch off the lights in the
area surrounding the screen and lower
the lights in the rest of the room to 10 %
– all at the touch of a button.
• The presenter can also control these
scenes completely mobile with the
remote control.
... and the right control for every task
• The best technology is useless if it is dif-
ficult to operate. GAMMA instabus was
therefore designed to be so user-friendly
that even the elderly can use these func-
tions on first encountering them: with
ease and conveniently from the familiar
switches, remote controls, operating
displays, touch panels or via a central
visualization PC.
• In rest and nursing homes, there are
high hygiene criteria even for the push-
buttons. Stable, environmentally friend-
ly thermoplasts are particularly hygien-
ic, because they are easy to clean.
