Count Out Basin Capacity Limits
The capacity of the Count Out Basin is limited to ensure optimal performance when counting out sponges that
are discarded into it. There should never be more than 20 RFID-tagged sponges or towels in the Count Out
Basin at the same time.
• BASIN LIMIT REACHED
If more than 20 sponges accumulate in the Count Out Basin simultaneously, the System Alert
“
BASIN LIMIT REACHED ” will appear on the display. When this alert occurs, remove the
sponges from the Count Out Basin, replace the System Cover (if necessary), and press CONTINUE
to return to the Count Out screen.
• BASIN LIMIT EXCEEDED
If the “ BASIN LIMIT REACHED ” screen is ignored and the sponges accumulating in the Count
Out Basin reaches
30 , the System Warning “ BASIN LIMIT EXCEEDED ” will be displayed. The
system will no longer count sponges in the Count Out Basin until less than 20 are present at a time.
Remove the sponges, press CONTINUE to return to Count Out mode, and rescan the sponges from
the Count Out Basin in groups of no more than
20 at a time.
These measures are taken to assure accurate sponge counts. See Chapter 8 for explanations of System
Alerts and Warnings.
Figure 4-12 Basin Limit Alert and Warning Screens
Notes
• Sponge Counts are not affected by removing already counted out sponges
from the Count Out Basin.
• The system will continue to count out sponges discarded into the Count Out
Basin while on the System Alert screen.
• Do not stack sponges in the Count Out Basin beyond the fill line.
Notes
• The system suspends all counting while on the System Warning screen.
Rescan any sponges in the Count Out Basin in groups of less than 20 after
pressing CONTINUE to ensure all sponges have been reconciled.
