Configure Band Off
The default Band Off settings are configured at the Unit Properties level (refer to Configure Units in the
Series 7.0 Administrator Manual). However, the default settings for Band Off can be changed for each
transmitter being admitted using the Configure option.
To configure the Band Off settings
1. Click the Configure button on the Main Tab of the Admit screen.
The Configure Transmitter window opens.
2. Click the Band Off Alarm Enabled checkbox to enable/disable the Band Off feature for the
transmitter being admitted.
3. To restore the Unit’s current defaults, click the Restore Unit Defaults button.
4. To change a transmitter’s settings for generating a Band Off alarm, select any valid combination of
Combined Alarm radio buttons and the Alarm on Any checkboxes. From the Combined Alarm,
each parameter must have a value of And, Or, or Off.
a. Click the And radio button next to a parameter to select it as “one” of the required parameters
for a Band Off alarm. At least one other parameter must be set to And to generate a Band Off
alarm (i.e. Capacitance and Resistance). You can also select And for one parameter and Or
for at least two other parameters to generate a Band Off alarm (i.e. Temperature and
Capacitance or Resistance).
b. Click the Or radio button next to a parameter to select it as “one” of the required parameters
for a Band Off alarm. At least one other parameter must be set to Or to generate a Band Off
alarm (i.e.Resistance or Temperature).
c. Click the OFF radio button next to a parameter to select it as a parameter that will not be used
for determining a Band Off alarm.
5. Click the Alarm On Any check box next to a parameter to individually choose it to generate a
Band Off alarm.
6. The Band Off Delay settings can also be changed for each parameter. Once a Band Off condition
is met, the alarm will be delayed for the configured time. If the Band Off condition resolves within
the delayed time, the Band Off alarm will not be sent. For Combined Alarms, the parameter with
the longest delay takes precedence.
NOTE: The Configure button will not be present if Band Off alarms are not enabled for the
currently assigned unit.
Parameters:
• Capacitance—the change in contact between
transmitter and infant’s extremity
• Resistance—the stretch of the banding material
• Temperature—the change in transmitter
temperature
