Remote Control Using the Radio Transmitter

2.3 Remote Control Using the Radio Transmitter
General Information
Robotics is radio remote-controlled using a Bluetooth-based radio transmitter. There are two
communication points:
• The radio antenna on Robotics is located at the foot end of the device.
• The external radio module connecting the device to ExacTrac is preferably located on the
ceiling of the treatment room, near the foot-end of the device.
External Bluetooth Module
No.

NOTE: Do not place solid objects between the radio antenna at the foot end of Robotics and the
external radio module.
EMC Notes
This Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and must be
installed and put into service accordingly by Brainlab service staff and/or authorized service
partners.
The device operates at radio frequencies in range of 2,402 GHz to 2,480 GHz. The effective
radiated power is 10 mW.
Brainlab does not assume responsibility, either for interference with other devices that may occur
due to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or for operational interference of other Bluetooth
devices. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect Medical Electrical
Equipment.
Warning
The device may be subject to electrical interference by other equipment, even if that other
equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.

Component Function/Usage
Green: Module is powered and in idle-state.
LED Purple: Module is establishing radio connection to Robotics.
Blue/blinking: Radio connection established/data transmission.
The shaft of the antenna should be adjusted so that a perpendicular
Movable antenna
axis to the shaft points towards Robotics.
