2020551-001
Equipment Overview: Quantitative Sentinel/Perinatal System
ILC-1926
An ILC-1926 is required to interface with the DINAMAP PRO Series and ProCare
Monitors.
Quantitative Sentinel/Perinatal System
Through this interface, the 250 Series Monitor outputs MHR data, FHR data, and
UA data to a central information such as a Quantitative Sentinel/Perinatal System.
Annotations made at the central station can be optionally printed on the strip chart
paper of the 250 Series Monitor as summarized below (if the central station has the
capability to send the command):
Each message is preceded by a computer icon ( ).
Messages are restricted to a maximum length of
50 characters.
Lower-case letters are converted to upper-case letters.
Non-standard characters are replaced with spaces.
The 250 Series Monitor can be configured with the remote annotation capability
enabled (1371/Notes mode) or disabled (1371 mode). The following is an example of
a remote message sent to a 250 Series Monitor from a central information system
using this serial communications protocol.
<SPW> AVERAGE VARIABILITY
To connect a central information system:
1. Obtain an appropriate interface cable: connect one end to an available
RS-232C
connector (J109, J110, or J111) on the 250 Series Monitor; connect the other end
to the wallplate wired to the central information system. For a Quantitative
Sentinel/Perinatal System: the interface cable is catalog number (REF)
1558AAO (10') or 1558BAO (20'); the corresponding wallplate connector is
labeled
RS-232 COMMUNICATIONS.
2. Access the Communications Setup service mode screen and set the baudrate
and mode for the appropriate port to 1200 bps and either the 1371 or 1371/Notes
mode, respectively; then exit the service mode screens.
