SimCube simulator to the wrong power supply may damage it. Be sure the plug has a yellow SimCube flag on it prior to connecting it to the SimCube simulator. 3. Wait for the power-up sequence to complete. When complete, the display will show 000.0 on SimCube models SC-1, SC-2, SC-3 and SC-4 and SC-5 with SW versions up to 4.5. - Page 5 9. For ECG and Respiration testing, connect the ECG cable from the monitor under test to the SimCube simulator. Snap locations for 3, 5 or 12 lead simulations are indicated on the side of the SimCube simulator and shown in Fig. 3. When using large snap heads or alligator clips, it may be necessary to use the ECG Extender Module, which is available from Pronk Technologies Inc.

Yellow Mode button will advance to the next waveform. As an example, when in HR Seq, by placing the SimCube in the Press and Hold mode, the HR Seq will stay at 30BPM until the Yellow Mode button is pressed. Then it will advance to 60BPM. Each subsequent press of the Yellow Mode button will advance to the next waveform in the sequence. - Page 7 P (in mmHg); leak rate, indicated by L (in mmHg per minute); and elapsed time (in Min:Sec). In many cases the monitor must be placed in a special test mode so that it will not release the cuff pressure. PRONK TECHNOLOGIES www.pronktech.com 800-541-9802...

SC-5 as compared to any previous versions you may have: • The display will be slightly dimmer. • The SimCube will go into "sleep" mode when the NIBP functions are not in use, the display will go blank and the green Mode LED will flash. - Page 11 AC Operation When AC power is available, simply plug the SimCube power supply into an AC outlet. The Battery Boost will automatically switch over to AC and your batteries will not be drained, regardless of whether the battery boost slide switch is in the on or off position.
