23 - 2 V Series Operating Instructions
23.1 Alarm Watch
The Alarm Watch feature enables a V Series monitor (defined as the Host monitor) to be notified of an
alarm condition and observe specified parameters for another networked V Series monitor (defined
as the Source monitor) from a remote location. To view the locations or beds, configure the alarm
watch tile (shown as A-W) to display on the Host monitor. Up to 16 beds can be viewed from the Host
monitor.
During the initial setup and configuration of the Host monitor, the System Administrator configures
the default alarm watch locations. During this setup process, the administrator has to decide which
default locations and alarms the Host monitor will watch. These decisions are usually based on
staffing and/or departmental needs. Once the locations are configured for the Host monitor, they
become the default watched locations for that monitor and will continue to be watched until the
System Administrator changes them.
Once the A-W tile is configured to display at the Host monitor, the default locations populate the A-W
tile. The
icon beside a bed indicates that it was added by the System Administrator.
NOTE: Refer to "Configuring the Alarm Watch Tab" on page 26-18 for
additional information.
Additional locations may also be watched but do not have to be setup by the System Administrator.
These locations are usually for short-term observation and are not saved as part of the departmental
defaults. This chapter describes how to configure these types of locations.
Display Setup
To see all the currently monitored beds, alarm watch must be configured to display on the Main
Screen. Refer to "Display Options Dialog" on page 3-2 for additional information.
NOTE: The V 12/V 21 also provides a visual notification when a bed is in alarm
even if the tile is not configured to display. Refer to "Alarm Watch
Notification" on page 23-6 for additional information.

• Select the A-W tile.
OR
• Select the Tools tab, then select the Alarm Watch button.
