Power Requirements

The monitor is a mobile extension of the Telemetry System and can display and broadcast
information through the antenna on battery power alone for up to a five hours. However, for
bedside use it should be connected to a grounded wall outlet through its own external power
supply. The bedside wall outlet should provide input of 100 - 250 VAC at 50 - 60 Hz. The
monitor and therefore the bed need to be within 6 feet of where the external power supply is
to be mounted. The line cord between the wall outlet and the external power supply must be
grounded and routed and/or mounted to avoid accidental tripping or pulling.
The External Power Supply must be grounded during operation. If a 3-wire receptacle is not
available, then a hospital electrician must be consulted to ensure that proper grounding is
available on installation. Never attempt to use a three-wire to a two-wire adaptor with the
External Power Supply. For details, see the "Electrical Specifications" on page 9-10.
Note—
storage. Make sure that the battery is fully charged before using TeleMon.
