Installation 4. Press MEASURE to start the calibration procedure. The mea- suring bar moves to the calibration tool, touches it, then returns to its rest position. The measurement reading appears on the display (Fig. 1Q). NOTE: With either length tray, the reading should be 20.0 in. (50.8 cm).
Installation Canceling Calibration Mode If the Auto-Length is inadvertently placed in calibration mode, cancel the mode by pressing OFF at any time before taking the calibration measurement. Testing for Correct Operation Before placing the Auto-Length in service, tested it as follows: 1.
Operation Section 2: Operation Caution Summary CAUTION: Read and be familiar with this instruction manual before installing, operating, or servicing this device. DANGER: Potential explosion hazard; do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics. CAUTION: This device must be connected directly to a hospital-grade electrical outlet.
Operation Measuring the Infant CAUTION: For accurate measurement, ensure that all objects (e.g., clothing, blankets) are either removed or will not be contacted by the Measuring Bar during the See The Measurement Cycle, on measurement cycle. the opposite page, for an illus- trated summary of steps.
Operation The Measurement Cycle Step 1 Step 2 The Measuring The Measuring Bar is in its rest Bar moves position and is forward to ready to begin touch the the measuring infant's heel. cycle. The fIrst measurement is recorded on the display.
Operation Controls and Signals On/Off Press ON/OFF to turn the power on or off (Fig. 2G). If the Auto- Length has begun the measurement cycle when the device is turned off, the measuring bar remains where it stopped. When the Auto-Length is turned on again, the measuring bar returns to its rest position and “READY”...
Operation Display The Auto-Length’s display provides three measurement readings in the upper half of the display screen (Fig. 2H). Messages appearing in the lower half of the display screen show the Auto-Length’s status, and prompt the operator. Common prompts include: READY: Indicates that power is on and the Auto-Length is ready to measure.
Operation Cleaning the Auto-Length CAUTION: To avoid electrical damage, do not allow liquids to enter the enclosure. To clean the Auto-Length: Wipe all external surfaces using a mild soap-and-water solution or a liquid disinfectant. CAUTION: Do not use alcohol to clean tray or mea- suring bar, as this will damage the plastic.
Service Section 3: Service CAUTION: Only qualified technicians should perform service tasks. CAUTION: Read and be familiar with this instruction manual before installing, operating, or servicing this device. CAUTION: PC boards contain static-sensitive parts.
