AlarmView™ System Administrator’s Manual

A monitor that is not connected to AC power or operating on
battery will not communicate with the AlarmView transmitter.
The monitor’s data port is disabled when not connected to AC
power. AlarmView System will transmit “Comm Fail” in this
case. The only exception is the Nellcor N-395 monitor which
continues to communicate with the transmitter while operating
on battery power.
Outlets used for the system should be on the hospital
emergency circuit so that they are energized at all times.
Transmitter Placement
1. Place transmitter on top of or beside the pulse oximeter it is
being used with.
To minimize the possibility of the transmitter creating
interference with the monitor, place the transmitter at the rear of
the monitor. For best results with N-395 monitors, place the
transmitter to the right-rear of the monitor.
