Cableless Monitoring with FM20/30 Battery Option
The CL Pods can be used with the FM20/30 with battery option #E25. The CL Pods can be assigned
and activated, but will not be charged. The only exception to this is the CL F&M Pod, which can also
be charged.
The charging time of the CL transducers can take up to 6 hours if they are charged from an FM20/30
with battery option.
If you charge the CL transducers at an FM20/30 with battery option, be sure to remove all wired
transducers from the fetal monitor. Leaving them connected to the fetal monitor can cause the
CL transducers not to charge at all.
Patient Transport Within the Hospital
The FM20 and FM30 fetal monitor with battery option offer the possibility of continuous monitoring
of a patient, while she is transported within the hospital.
1 Unplug the MSL connector at the fetal monitor. Or, in case an external power supply is mounted
on a rollstand, unplug it from the AC Mains.
The fetal monitor is now operating on battery power.
2 Move the patient with the fetal monitor (on a cart) to the new location.
3 Reconnect the MSL connector at the fetal monitor or the external power supply to the AC Mains.
