Quantec Rechargeable IR/RF Transmitter (Push for Call, Pull for Attack)
£83.68 (inc VAT: £100.42)
Summary
The C-TEC QT412RXCA Rechargeable IR/RF Transmitter is a versatile personal alert device designed for staff safety in healthcare, education and care environments. This dual-function transmitter enables personnel to remotely trigger both standard and attack calls through compatible Quantec or 800 Series call systems, providing flexible emergency response options when needed most.
Featuring an intuitive dual-activation design, the transmitter allows staff to initiate standard calls using two convenient push buttons, whilst the integrated Karabiner pull clip triggers urgent attack calls when pulled with a 1.5kg actuation force. The device combines infrared technology with radio frequency transmission, delivering reliable 10m line-of-sight infrared coverage and up to 60m typical radio range depending on environmental conditions.
Built for practicality and convenience, the QT412RXCA includes a rechargeable NiMH battery that can be charged using C-TEC’s QT424/1 single-way or QT424/10 ten-way charging units. The transmitter features red/green confidence LED indicators for battery status monitoring and can be fully programmed using a QT423 configurator to generate different call levels. When deployed on Quantec systems, each transmitter can be assigned a unique user ID or name for enhanced tracking and accountability.

FAQ
What is the difference between the push buttons and pull clip activation?
The two push buttons on the transmitter trigger standard calls, whilst pulling the Karabiner clip activates an attack call for urgent emergency situations. This dual-activation design ensures staff can quickly select the appropriate response level for different scenarios.
How long does the battery last and how is it recharged?
The transmitter features an internal rechargeable NiMH battery that can be charged using either a QT424/1 single-way charging unit or a QT424/10 ten-way charging unit. Battery status is indicated via the red/green confidence LED. The battery is non-user serviceable and charging times will depend on the specific charging unit used.
Can I use this transmitter on both Quantec and 800 Series call systems?
Yes, the QT412RXCA is compatible with both C-TEC Quantec and 800 Series call systems. However, functionality differs slightly: on Quantec systems it operates with both infrared and radio transmission, whilst on 800 Series systems it functions as infrared only. When used on Quantec systems, the transmitter can also be programmed with unique user IDs.
What is the effective range of the transmitter?
The transmitter provides 10 metres line-of-sight infrared coverage and up to 60 metres typical radio coverage. The actual radio range will depend on environmental factors such as building construction, obstacles and interference from other wireless devices.
Can the transmitter be programmed for different call types?
Yes, the transmitter can be programmed using a QT423 configurator to generate different call levels. Programming options will depend on whether it is being used on a Quantec or 800 Series system. This allows the transmitter’s operation to be tailored to suit specific site requirements.
Is the transmitter suitable for all working environments?
The QT412RXCA is designed for indoor use in controlled environments, operating between -5°C and +40°C with maximum relative humidity of 95% non-condensing. With an IP41 rating, it offers protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and vertically falling water drops, making it suitable for most healthcare, education and care facility applications.
