TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 4-3
B ASIC OPERATIONS
Warning:
All system connections (except for those related to moving receivers from one monitor
or housing to another) must be made by trained or qualified personnel only. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Spacelabs Healthcare may void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Cautions:
Telemetry transmitters have preassigned channel numbers (frequencies) that cannot be
changed. The channel number is identified on the back cover of the transmitter.
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 receiver’s frequency band via the
Module Configuration Manager feature.
Assigning a Telemetry Channel
When connecting a new patient to a transmitter, make sure the prior patient’s information has been
purged at the host monitor.
Your central station can only show a telemetry channel after that channel has been assigned a specific
bed or room number. Refer to the user manuals for your central monitor or station for information to
assign a specific bed name to a telemetry channel and to assign the bed to a specific display zone.
Your central monitor can be configured to remember the bed name assigned to individual telemetry
channels. These beds are permanently assigned until you unassign or reassign them. Refer to the
Ultraview SL Module Configuration Manager System Administration Guide (P/N 070-1245-xx) for more
information.
Basic Components
The 96281-B telemetry transmitter is essentially the same as the 96281-C model, except for the
SpO
2
capability. Thus the components described in the illustrations of the 96281-C are also applicable
to the 96281-B model except for the SpO
2
connector cap.
The 96281-A model is similar to the 96281-B and 96281-C but it does not include a display or an SpO
2
connector cap or functionality (refer to
Figure 4-3 on page 4-6).
