1. Central Panel
The Central Panel contains the main processor of the system,
the back up power supply, and the wiring hub for all the input
signals as well as the output commands to the display(s) and
bed shaker(s). The housing can be either surface mounted or
mounted in the wall with a flush self-trimming access panel. It
should be installed in as central a location as possible within the
room, suite, or area being serviced and should allow reasonable
installer and maintenance access. The more centrally located the
panel, the shorter the input and output runs.
The Room Valet System is hardwired, fully supervised,
microprocessor based, with a back up power supply
to insure operating reliability at all times.

2. Wake Up
For wake up, the system has a built-in alarm clock which can be
set from any display panel connected to the same Room Valet
central panel.
3. Door Alert
The door alert uses a single pole round standard doorbell
push button mounted in a standard ivory single gang plate and
connected to the central control panel. Note: Illuminated door
bell buttons will not work with the Room Valet System and will
cause the system to not function properly.
4. Telephone Alert
The connection to the telephone system would require a wire,
pair run from a phone line servicing the area. This can be a
parallel line run from any phone opening to the central panel.
5. Smoke Detector (In Room)
The system is designed to provide auxiliary alerting capabilities
for approved visual smoke detectors that meet the A.D.A.
guidelines, such as the Gentex 7109 series. These detectors
have a built-in, form “C”, dry contact relay to which the Room
Valet switch leg shall be connected. If the room configuration
is such that more than one local detector is required, several of
these style smoke detectors can be connected in tandem.
6. Central Alarm
The system is designed to provide auxiliary alerting capabilities
for the central alarm system. However the central alarm system
must have visual alerting devices within the area being serviced
by the Room Valet system. The connection to the central alarm
system shall be through the use of an isolated form “C” dry
contact relay module, such as ESL 405 series, installed by the
central alarm company. A wire must be run from the junction
box that houses the relay module to the Room Valet central
panel.
outputs
7. Display Panels
The display panels are connected to the Room Valet central
panel. The display(s) shall be located on the wall of room(s)
being serviced in a position that will maximize its visibility. A
display panel must be located in all living areas and bathrooms,
powder rooms etc. The mounting plate is designed to attach
directly to a standard electrical junction box. The system user
control is placed within the reach height of a person using a
wheelchair. Mounting at that level will maximize the visibility of
the system. Wire shall be run from each display junction box to
the central panel. Each display shall require a separate home run.
8. Bed Shaker(s)
The location of the bed shaker shall be next to or between the
bed(s). It is recommended to utilize the phone system’s opening.
If the phone configuration is such that there is not a phone
opening in the desired location, a separate single gang box shall
be installed. The wire run for the bed shaker shall connect from
the junction box bedside to the Room Valet central panel.
