Controls

All functions of the 8600 are controlled by switches found on the front and rear of the unit. Refer to Figures I

and II for illustrations of these switches.

Power Switch

Pressing the power switch ON (" I ") causes power to be applied to all internal circuitry. Pressing the power

switch to STBY (" O ") causes power to be removed from the displays and puts the pulse oximetry circuitry

into a low power standby mode.

Calibrate Recorders

When using a strip-chart recorder for outputting data, calibration between the recorder and the 8600 may be

necessary. To do this during normal operation, hold the

recording output calibrate sequence. You can select the calibration sequence with Option Switch 3.

NOTE:

Calibration signals are sent via the SpO2 and pulse rate lines; not the serial output line.

Standard Calibration:

The value sent for the SpO 2 will alternate from 0% (for 5 seconds) to 100% (for 6 seconds) to 50% (for 5

seconds) and then repeat. The value sent out for the pulse rate will alternate from 0 BPM to 125 BPM to

250 BPM and then repeat. To end calibration sequence, release the

to normal operation.

Alternate Calibration:

The value sent for the SpO 2 will step through at 5% intervals when actuated by the user by pressing the

AUDIO

button beginning at 0% through 100% and then repeat. The value sent out for the pulse rate will

remain at 60 BPM. To end calibration sequence, hold the

return to normal operation.
