The BED Light

The AUX Light

ProCare 6000 Operation Manual
If the system monitor function is active, the CANCEL button also silences incoming call
tones. The light on the CANCEL button flashes when the system monitor function is
active. (See The System Monitor Function on page -.)
The light on the CANCEL button will also illuminate to indicate when an audio connec-
tion has been established with the patient.
The light on the CANCEL button will also flash slowly to indicate when staff presence
has been registered in the patient's room.
The BED light will flash when the patient's electronic bed is disconnected. (If the bed is
connected to a dual-receptacle wall plate, a cord out call will occur if either receptacle is
unplugged.) Two other events also occur:
The patient station places a cord out call to the base master station.
•
The CALL light illuminates steadily to indicate that the call has been placed. On a dual
•
patient station, it also indicates which bed has been disconnected (left CALL light =
left bed, right CALL light = right bed).
Although the cord out call can be canceled by pressing the CANCEL button on the pa-
tient station, the BED light will continue flashing until the bed is reconnected or a
dummy plug is inserted in its place.
The AUX light will flash when an auxiliary call is triggered by a bed auxiliary device
(such as a heart monitor or ventilator), by a room auxiliary device (such as a smoke de-
tector), or by pressing the AUX button on the station. On a dual station, it also indicates
which bed triggered the call (left AUX light = left bed, right AUX light = right bed). This
type of call is placed in response to an alarm from auxiliary equipment that is connected
to the patient station in one of two ways:
Through a call cord adapter plugged into the patient station. (Some call cord adapters
•
have auxiliary input ports.)
Through an auxiliary input station that is wired (in wall) to the inputs on the back of
•
the patient station.
In either case, the following events take place when this type of auxiliary call is sent:
• The call appears at the base master.
The associated corridor light illuminates and flashes at a designated rate (the default is
•
fast flash white for an Aux1 call and slow flash white for an Aux2 call).
Tones sound at the base master and at stations where the system monitor function is
•
active.
