  For example, the priority order is set in the order of the first toilet handset 6a, the second toilet handset 6b, the first handset 4a, and the second handset 4b by the handset priority setting SW 35d. When the power SW is turned on or reset, the CPU 31 of the collective corridor lamp 3 reads the setting contents of the corridor lamp ID setting SW 35a, the master unit display window number setting SW 35b, the private room correspondence setting SW 35c, and the slave unit priority setting SW 35d. Based on the set contents, the nurse call master unit 1 is controlled as follows. That is, when the calls from the first and second handset call buttons 41a and 41b and the first and second toilet call buttons 61a and 61b are duplicated, for example, the call is made by the first handset 4a. At this time, if the call is made from the second toilet slave 6b, the controller 2 gives priority to the call from the second toilet slave 6b having a higher priority than the first slave 4a. Thereby, the 2nd toilet subunit | mobile_unit 6b can call the nurse call main | base station 1 in preference to the 1st subunit | mobile_unit 4a, and can talk.

[Example 5]
First, in this embodiment, the first and second handset call buttons 41a and 41b and the first and second toilet call buttons 61a and 61b are set by the group priority setting switch 35e mounted on the collective corridor lamp 3. The priority of each group grouped for each combination is set.

  For example, the first priority unit 4a and the first toilet slave unit 6a (hereinafter referred to as “first group”) installed in the patient room A are installed in the patient room B by the group priority setting switch 35e. If priority is set over the second slave unit 4b and the second toilet slave unit 6b (hereinafter referred to as “second group”), and the power switch SW of the controller 2 is turned on or reset, The CPU 31 reads the setting contents of the corridor lamp ID setting SW 35a, the master unit display window number setting SW 35b, the private room correspondence setting SW 35c, and the group priority order setting switch 35e. Based on the read setting contents, the nurse call master unit 1 To be controlled. That is, when the call overlaps between the first and second groups, for example, when the call is made from the second handset 4b or the second toilet handset 6b constituting the second group, When a call is made from the first handset 4a or the first toilet handset 6a constituting one group, the call from the first group having a higher priority than the second group is prioritized by the controller 2 The Accordingly, the first slave unit 4a or the first toilet slave unit 6a constituting the first group has priority over the second slave unit 4b or the second toilet slave unit 6b constituting the second group. Can call the nurse call master unit 1 and make a call.

  In this embodiment, by setting the group priority setting SW 35e, it is possible to set not only the child devices but also the groups, that is, the priorities for each hospital room.

  The nurse call system of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the same effect as the nurse call system of the present invention can be obtained as described below.
