Nurse Call Feature - Nonin Avant 9700 Operator's Manual

Using the Avant 9700

Nurse Call Feature

The Avant 9700 features a Nurse Call circuit that can be connected to hospital nurse
call systems, allowing alarm conditions to be recognized at a central monitoring
location and on the Avant 9700.
DIP switch 7 allows users to select the duration output of a signal. In the DOWN
position, a one-second signal is output when an audible alarm starts and is
repeatedly sent every 60 seconds during the entire duration of the audible alarm. In
the UP position, the nurse call signal is active during the entire duration of an audible
alarm.
Included in the Nurse Call Circuit is a switch—located on the base of the back panel
and covered by the back cover to prevent accidental toggling—that allows users to
select NO (Normally Open—the left position) or NC (Normally Closed—the right
position). The Nurse Call Circuit can be used both when the Avant 9700 is plugged
in and when it is running on battery power. In addition, the nurse call output operates
at any alarm volume setting—including when audible alarms are turned off.
