Nurse Call Feature - Nonin Avant 9600 Operator's Manual

Using the Avant 9600

Nurse Call Feature

The Avant 9600 features a Nurse Call circuit that can be connected to a hospital
nurse call system, allowing alarm conditions to be recognized at a central monitoring
location and on 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 active 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.
The nurse call output signal is active when the 9600 is in Standby mode.
The Nurse Call Circuit can be used both when the Avant 9600 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.
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 the Nurse Call as either Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) relay
output.
