Keep Blinking
Use the Keep Blinking setting to specify whether the numerics that are in an active alarm condition keep
flashing even if all alarms are off or paused, or if individual alarms are switched off.
Relay1 Sensitiv., Relay2 Sensitiv., Relay3 Sensitiv.
The Relay1 Sensitiv., Relay2 Sensitiv., Relay3 Sensitiv. settings define the alarm or INOP conditions that
will trigger an alarm on nurse call relays. Only serious INOPs (that are indicated with an INOP tone
at the monitor) are indicated on the nurse call relay.
When you use a nurse call relay that is connected to the traditional nurse call connector (phone jack),
only
Relay1 Sensitiv. must be specified.
The nurse call relay follows the status of the alarm tones. When the alarms are silenced, switched off,
or paused at the monitor, no alarms will be indicated on the nurse call relay.
NOTE
If the Alarm Volume is set to 0, the nurse call is still active, and acts if alarm tones would be audible.
CyanRelayLatency, Yel.RelayLatency
Use the CyanRelayLatency, Yel.RelayLatency settings to define how long a yellow alarm or INOP
condition must be active, before an alarm is issued on any device connected to the alarm relay. These
settings are valid for all serious INOP conditions/all yellow alarms respectively.
Alarm Text
Use this setting to define how alarm messages are presented on the monitor screen:
•
Standard: Alarm texts are displayed in text form, for example ** SpO
2
Low
• Enhanced: Alarm texts are displayed as numeric values, for example, ** SpO
2
94 < 96, where the
second number shows the current alarm limit, and the first number shows the maximum amount
by which this limit was exceeded.
