Tel Cannot Analyze Inops With Multiple Channels - Philips IntelliVue Quick Reference Service Manual

Frequent Dropouts and NO SIGNAL, WEAK
SIGNAL, and TEL CANNOT ANALYZE INOPs
with Multiple Channels
1. For extended band systems - See Step 2 of the
previous INOP for a Single Channel
2. Check that the antenna system has power -
Antenna/Combiners, amplifiers, power tees,
frequency converters, and filters should all have
their LEDs lit. If they do not:
a. Check to see if a power tee circuit breaker has
tripped due to a short in the system by
resetting the circuit breaker
b. If the system has failed while testing the
hospital's emergency power, check that all
power modules are plugged into emergency
power outlets.
3. Check that the patients are in the antenna system
coverage area.
4. Check for hardware failures or installation
problems with the antenna system and receiver
mainframe.
Note
The antenna system used with a telemetry system
operating in the extended band must be an M2613/14/15A
or an M1413/14/15A/B antenna system that has been
upgraded for operation in the extended band, otherwise
the signal will be attenuated below an acceptable level.
Upgrades typically consist of replacing the non-extended
band antenna components (M14XXX series) with
extended band compatible antenna components
(M26XXX series).
