Using the Data Port
Overview
Patient data can be obtained through the data port on the back of
the N-560 by connecting it to an attached PC or serial printer.
When connecting the N-560
to a printer or PC, verify proper
operation before clinical use. Both the N-560 and the printer or PC
must be connected to a grounded AC outlet. The N-560 protocol
setting must be ASCII.
Any printer or PC connected to the N-560's data port must be
certified accor
ding to IEC Standard 60950. All combinations of
equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1
systems requirements. Anyone who connects a printer or PC to the
data output port configures a medical system and is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the
requirements of system standard IEC Standard 60601-1-1 and the
electromagnetic compatibility system standard IEC Standard
60601-1-2.
Connecting to the Data Port
The N-560 data port may be connected to the printer or PC by using
a cable terminated with an AMP connector (AMP part number
747538-1), ferrule (AMP part number 1-747579-2), and compatible
pins (AMP part number 66570-2). The cable should be no more than
25 feet (7.6 meters) in length. The external ITE (Information
Technology Equipment) device must be certified to UL-1950 or
IEC-60950.
The cable used must have a braided shield providing 100% coverage,
such as a Belden
cable (Belden part number 9609) or equivalent. The
shield must have a 360-degree connection to the metal shell on the
N-560's DB-15 connector and to the connector on the PC or serial
printer. Do not create sharp bends in the cable, as this may tear or
break the shielding.
