3 Maintenance/Safety & Functionality Tests
HB-005615-j
In case of a SDM with a display with ‘CCFL Backlight’ a new, fully charged battery
provides approximately 6 hours of monitoring time (if SLEEP MODE = OFF) and
approximately 13 hours (if SLEEP MODE = ON).
In case of a SDM with a display with ‘LED Backlight’ a new, fully charged battery provides
approximately 11 hours of monitoring time (if SLEEP MODE = OFF) and approximately
16 hours (if SLEEP MODE = ON).
Note: The message ‘LED Backlight’ displays on the POST screen (
see section 3.2.5
POST) and in the sub-menu “System Settings / Display Settings” if the display of
your SDM uses an ‘LED Backlight’.
If the above described functions do not operate properly, the SDM needs to be
repaired. Refer to
section 4.2.4 "SDM specific troubleshooting"
to further evaluate the
problem.
3.2.16 Display, Alarm
Initiate a low priority alarm (e.g. by disconnecting the SenTec TC Sensor from the
SDM)
.
Verify that the corresponding status message is displayed in the status bar.
If the above described functions do not operate properly, the SDM needs to be
repaired. Refer to
section 4.2.4 "SDM specific troubleshooting"
to further evaluate the
problem.
3.2.17 Speaker, Alarm
Initiate a low priority alarm (e.g. by disconnecting the SenTec TC Sensor from the
SDM)
.
Verify that the audible component of a low priority alarm is audible (one burst
of two pulses (1 dyad) repeated every 15 seconds).
If the above described functions do not operate properly, the SDM needs to be
repaired. Refer to
section 4.2.4 "SDM specific troubleshooting"
to further evaluate the
problem.
3.2.18 Nurse Call, Alarm
SenTec Test Connector Multipurpose I/O
Verify that the menu parameter ‘Interfaces / Nurse Call’ is set to ON. Then initiate a
low priority alarm (e.g. by disconnecting the SenTec TC Sensor from the SDM during
a monitoring session).
The Nurse Call feature is relay-based and can be tested with
the SenTec Test Connector Multipurpose I/O,
see
section 8.2 “Testing Accessories and
Spare Parts”.
Note: The nurse call function is not active if the auditory alarm signals of the SDM
are paused or permanently switched off.
If the above described functions do not operate properly, the SDM needs to be
repaired. Refer to
section 4.2.4 "SDM specific troubleshooting"
to further evaluate the
problem.
