An accessible toilet in a working clinic: a call for help without chasing walls
Battery-powered LX call kits for two accessible toilets in a finished clinic building: a button with a pull cord in the toilet, a signal unit above the door and a receiver at reception — no cables, no chasing walls.

01 / Investment context
What problem does this configuration solve?
The clinic operates in a completed building on two floors. There is one toilet for people with disabilities on the ground floor and one on the upper floor, while reception — the one place staffed throughout opening hours — is on the ground floor. No cable runs to the toilets that could be used for a call installation.
A patient who feels faint or falls in the toilet is behind a closed door and may not have the strength to shout. They must be able to call for help with one movement — even from the floor — and reception must know at once which toilet the call came from. Chasing walls and laying cables in a working clinic, between patient appointments, is out of the question.
The investor’s goal: A call for help from each accessible toilet, visible in the corridor and at reception, cancelled at the patient’s side — from a system installed with no cables and no break in the clinic’s work.
How does this configuration work?
Each toilet gets its own battery-powered LX call kit (TdN-07). In the toilet there is an illuminated 3-in-1 button (SPX-PK1C): a call by the key or by a pull cord that even someone lying on the floor can reach, and cancellation of the call on the button itself.
The call switches on the light-and-sound signal unit above the toilet door, on the corridor side (BSX-400), so staff see at once where help is needed. At the same time the kit’s receiver at reception (SPX-CS1/B/NT) signals the call. The receivers of both toilets hang there side by side, labelled “Toilet — ground floor” and “Toilet — upper floor”, so reception knows where to go or whom to send. The call lasts until a member of staff cancels it with the button in the toilet — that is, at the patient’s side.
All three devices in the kit run on batteries and are surface-mounted, with no power supply to run; the receiver has battery monitoring. The LX link reaches up to 4 km in open terrain; through the floor slab between the upper-floor toilet and reception, a range test before installation confirms it.
02 / Operating principle
From signal to action.
Each accessible toilet has its own battery-powered LX kit: a button, a signal unit above the door and a receiver at reception.

Catalogue figures describe a device under stated conditions, usually in open terrain, and are not a guaranteed range in every installation. Device quantities in the examples are indicative.
04 / Value for the investor
What does this solution give you?
No chasing walls
All parts run on batteries and are surface-mounted, so the toilets are equipped without cables and without interrupting patient appointments.
The call ends at the patient’s side
The call is cancelled with the button in the toilet, so the signal above the door does not go off before a member of staff reaches the patient.
Reception knows which toilet
The signal unit above the door guides staff in the corridor, and a separate, labelled receiver for each toilet tells reception which toilet to go to.
05 / Before installation
What needs to be settled for a similar investment?
Before devices are chosen, what matters is the site’s conditions and how the system ties into the final installation.
Requirements to verify
- Where the receivers go — reception or another room that is staffed throughout opening hours — and labelling each one with its toilet.
- A range test from the upper-floor toilet to reception before installation — the floor slab and walls weaken the signal.
- The design requirements for the accessible toilet — button height, cord length, signalling and cancelling — are set by the building’s designer.
- Who goes to the toilet when reception is busy with patients, and how this is written into the clinic’s procedure.
- Replacing the batteries of the button, signal unit and receiver in the clinic’s maintenance schedule — each of these devices has its own battery.
