Connecting the Sensor to the Transmitter

NOTE -

To extend Transmitter battery life, do not leave Sensor or Test Plug connected to the

Transmitter when system is not in use.

1. With the Monitor in SEARCH mode, hold the base of the Sensor

between the thumb and forefinger so that it doesn’t move. Hold

the Transmitter connector in the other hand. Place the Sensor

connector so that the two connectors are closely aligned. Push

together to connect the Transmitter to the Sensor. You should

hear a click when fully connected.(See Figure 2.5.)

Figure 2.11

The Monitor will search for signals sent by the Transmitter. If the Transmitter is not identified by

the Monitor, an alarm code will appear. See Chapter 4: Troubleshooting and Alarms for detailed

information on Alarm codes.

3. When the Transmitter is identified by the Monitor, the screen will briefly display SUCCESS. The INIT

screen will then appear.

4. Cover the Sensor site with a sterile/snug dressing, such as

IV3000

. (See Figure 2.6.)

NOTE -

If the Transmitter is unplugged from the Sensor, wait 20 seconds before reconnecting in

order to ensure normal operation
