Operating the Avant 9600
Option switch 7 allows users to select the duration output of a signal. In the DOWN position, a
one-second signal is output and repeated every 60 seconds when an audible alarm starts and
will continue every 60 seconds until the alarm is silenced. In the UP position, the nurse call signal
is active during the entire duration of an audible alarm.
NOTE: The Nurse Call feature overrides silenced alarms.
The Nurse Call Circuit Switch, located near the Option switch, allows users to select NO
(Normally Open—the left position) or NC (Normally Closed—the right position). The hospital's
nurse call system configuration will determine whether the Nurse Call Circuit Switch on the 9600
must be placed in the Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).
