Connecting to the Data Port

N-560 Operator's Manual
Patient data can be obtained through the data port on the back of the
N-560 by connecting it to an attached PC or serial printer.
When connecting the N-560 to a printer or PC, verify proper operation
before clinical use. Both the N-560 and the printer or PC must be
connected to a grounded AC outlet. The N-560 protocol setting must be
ASCII.
Any printer or PC connected to the N-560's data port must be certified
according to IEC Standard 60950. All combinations of equipment must be
in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1 systems requirements.
Anyone who connects a printer or PC to the data output port configures a
medical system and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system
complies with the requirements of system standard IEC Standard
60601-1-1 and the electromagnetic compatibility system standard IEC
Standard 60601-1-2.
The N-560 data port may be connected to the printer or PC by using a
cable terminated with an AMP connector (AMP part number 747538-1),
ferrule (AMP part number 1-747579-2), and compatible pins (AMP part
number 66570-2). The cable should be no more than 25 feet (7.6 meters)
in length. The external ITE (Information Technology Equipment) device
must be certified to UL-1950 or IEC-60950.
The cable used must have a braided shield providing 100% coverage,
such as a Belden cable (Belden part number 9609) or equivalent. The
shield must have a 360-degree connection to the metal shell on the
N-560's DB-15 connector and to the connector on the PC or serial printer.
Do not create sharp bends in the cable, as this may tear or break the
shielding.
