Assigning a Telemetry Channel
Your central monitor can only display a telemetry channel after that channel has
been assigned a specific bed name. Refer to the steps to the left to assign a
specific bed name to a telemetry channel.
After a bed name is assigned, the central monitor may need to be configured to
display data associated with that bed name in a specific display zone. Refer to the
steps to the left to assign the bed to a specific display zone, if needed.
Tuning a Telemetry Receiver
A telemetry receiver module must be tuned to a transmitter’s assigned frequency
before it can receive data from that transmitter. Qualified personnel can use the
ECG TM SETUP menu to tune the receiver module.
!
• Your central monitor may be configured to remember beds that
are assigned to individual telemetry channels using the Module
Configuration Manager feature. These beds are permanently
assigned until you unassign or reassign them. Refer to Module
Configuration Manager on page 7-5 for more information.
!
• Telemetry transmitters have preassigned channel frequencies
(or numbers) that cannot be changed. The channel number is
identified on the back of the transmitter’s case.
• Only qualified personnel should tune telemetry receiver
modules to receive data from a telemetry transmitter. Telemetry
receiver modules must be used with a transmitter on the same
frequency.
• Qualified service
personnel should set the telemetry
transmitter’s frequency band via the Module Configuration
Manager feature.
• Telemetry channel assignment is not accessible in REMOTE
VIEW displays.
