Charging the battery when attached to the Tempus Pro
When fitted to the Tempus Pro, the battery can be charged by connecting the power supply (part number
01-2049) to the connector on the right hand side of the Tempus.
The PSU Plug Attached to the Tempus Pro Connector
CAUTION
If the Tempus is powered using the mains power supply, ensure the mains power supply is
accessible so the mains lead can be disconnected in the event that the device needs to be
isolated from mains power. The means of isolation of mains power is to disconnect the
mains lead from the power supply.
CAUTION
Where the integrity of the external protective conductor (earth) in the installation or its
arrangement is in doubt, equipment shall be operated from its internal electrical power
source.
Note
Interruption of the supply mains for short periods e.g. 30 seconds, will not cause a problem,
as the Tempus will automatically switch to battery power. In the event that a battery is not
fitted (or is completely flat) the device will shut down immediately. In this case no patient
data will be lost. If the device is restarted within 30 seconds it will resume with all patient
settings unchanged. If power is resupplied after that it will resume as normal with default
settings in place. In this case the user can switch back to monitoring the previous patient
(and continue completing their record) as described in sections 4.3.3 and 9.3.4.
When the power supply is attached to the Tempus Pro, the green power light on the Tempus Pro front panel
will turn on.
If a battery is attached the green charge light will flash. The lights on the battery will light solidly up to the
charge state of the battery at the time.
