Peripheral Devices: RS-232 Connectors
Critikon Model 1846/1846SX
Critikon Model 1846/1846SX Monitors can be interfaced to a 170 Series Monitor to
provide a printout of NBP values on the strip chart paper.
1. Refer to Table 8-2 for the appropriate interface cable. Connect one end to an
available
RS-232C port (1 or 2) on the 170 Series Monitor; connect the other
end to the serial communications port on the blood pressure monitor. Refer to
the Critikon documentation for information on the name of the connector.
2. Access the fetal monitor service setup mode and set the baud rate and mode for
the appropriate port to 600 and ext. BP, respectively; then exit the service setup
mode.
3. Be aware of the following information specific to Critikon monitors:
The clock on the Critikon Modes 1846/1846SX Monitors must be set to
within 10 minutes of the 170 Series Monitor. If the clocks are not within 10
minutes of each other, the time will print with each blood pressure reading.
Due to the storage capabilities of Critikon monitors, it is recommended that
power be cycled at the beginning of each data session. This ensures that
any previously stored data is cleared.
When using STAT mode on a Critikon monitor, the 170 Series Monitor
does not print the time with each reading due to overcrowding on the strip
chart. Instead the time is printed once every three to five minutes.
The Critikon Model 1846SX discards NBP values after 90 minutes.
