Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable results.
About This Manual This manual is designed to assist the user with installation, setup and operation of the NDS ZeroWire® HD wireless video system. A numbered tab on the side of the page denotes the beginning of a section. The functional descriptions in this manual are representative of: Part Numbers: 90T2014 = Receiver 90T2015 = Transmitter (Input: DVI)
Connector Panels ZeroWire Transmitter (Tx) ZeroWire Receiver (Rx) 3G– SDI input (90T2016 only) DVI input DVI output Power connector Tx & Rx Common Connectors The USB port is used for installing updates to the Tx or Rx firmware. It is not a general purpose I/O port The BOND button allows the bonding of a transmitter to a receiver.
Installation The only mounting bracket included with the Zerowire is the Desktop mount. All other brackets are sold separately. Desktop: With the side stamped FRONT and the black surface of a ZeroWire Rx or Tx module facing you, insert the desktop mount into the slot in the bottom of the module and push downwards on the mount until the module seats.

19” and 23” Radiance and 24” EndoVue Display: Each step bracket is stamped with a part number (P/N). For Radiance 19” 23” EndoVue 24” displays, select step bracket P/N 20C0660. Replace the left hand mounting screws with 2 of the provided mounting screws.
Page 12
32” and 37” Radiance Displays: Select ‘T’ bracket (P/N 20C0684). Lay the display face down on a clean surface. Center the ‘T’ bracket on the top edge of the display and remove the 2 screws that are aligned with the holes in the bracket. Insert the provided screws through the bracket and case back.
Power Options ZeroWire transmitters and receivers may be powered from the provided power supply (pictured below), or when used with an NDS display they may be powered from the display’s power supply via the supplied ‘Y’ adapter cable. ‘Y’ adapter cables, shown below, are available for Radiance 19”, 24”, 26” and 32” displays and Endovue 24”...
Wiring Diagrams Display Mounted Tx Wiring Diagram Display Mounted Rx Wiring diagram Cable Bend Radius We recommend that the bend radius of metallic cables be no less than 2.5 inches (63 mm) or 7 times the diameter of the cable whichever is greater. Sharper bends may damage the cable and / or degrade the video signal.
Setup Bonding the Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) Before the ZeroWire wireless system can be put into service , the Tx and Rx pair must be bonded. Connect an included power supply or a ‘Y’ Adapter cable to a Tx and an Rx unit. See page 7 for Power Connector location and ‘Y’...
Typical Installation Detailed Installation and Setup information starts on the following page. Transmitter Receiver Display hardwired to image source (processor). NDSsi recommends ZeroWire for primary and secondary displays. However, for patient safety a display that is cable connected to the video source shall be immediately available whenever a surgical procedure is in progress.
Positioning and Orientation Due to the shape of the antenna’s signal field (image 1), both Tx and Rx units should be installed so they are vertical within + or - 10°, and horizontal within + or - 10°. Vertical Alignment: Vertical alignment should be within + or - 10°...
Page 18
Elevation: The Tx and Rx should be positioned at least 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor, be at the same height, and, preferably, with the black (front) surfaces of the Tx and Rx facing directly at each other. Separation: ZeroWire operates correctly with a separation of up to 30 feet (10 m).
Page 19
Test results indicate that ZeroWire achieves a better signal-to-noise ratio when the Tx and Rx are oriented at certain angles relative to one another. Optimum link quality is achieved when the Tx and Rx are aligned at 0° relative to each other. Acceptable link quality is achieved when the Tx and Rx are aligned at angles between 0 to 45°, 130°...
Non Line of Sight Operation The ZeroWire system can maintain a wireless link even with obstructions. However, best performance is realized with a clear line-of-sight. In an OR environment, the ceiling mounted boom system and its spring arm junctions, along with surgical light heads, are large metal structures that can potentially block RF signals if they obstruct the line-of-sight between the Tx and Rx (see image 1 below).
Avoiding Co-Channel Interference Operating more than three systems (ZeroWire pairs) in one area may result in co-channel interference. In order to avoid the potential of co-channel interference, a 75 foot (23 m) separation should be maintained between any two ZeroWire pairs that are operating on the same channel. The 75 foot (23 m) separation is a general guideline, the actual separation required to avoid co-channel interference may vary greatly.
Advanced Features Overview: Update Channel / Power Utility software and its usage instructions are on the CD included in the ZeroWire shipping box. The utility allows the user to configure some of ZeroWire transmitter and receiver parameters. The parameter settings are discussed in the following paragraphs. Note: These settings can only be changed using a computer to connect to a ZeroWire unit and running the Update Channel / Power Utility software.
Channel Usage The user has the option to have ZeroWire systems operate using the 3 Channel setting or a one of the fixed channel settings. The recommendations below should be used to determine the appropriate setting. Operating One ZeroWire Pair: In this case, either the 3 Channel or “fixed channel”...
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Causes Indicator LED is not on. Loose Power Connector: Verify that the power source connector is fully inserted into the unit’s power connector. 'Y' Cable: If you are using the ‘Y’ cable to supply power to the unit, confirm that it is connected to a power supply and that the power supply is energized.

Cleaning and Disinfecting Instructions Prior to cleaning and surface disinfection, the unit should be turned OFF and disconnected from its power source. Cleaning: Thoroughly wipe all exterior surfaces with a lint-free cloth that has been dampened with an acceptable cleaning agent. Acceptable cleaning materials are listed below. Remove residual detergent by wiping all exterior surfaces with a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC ) Tables ZeroWire has been tested in an OR environment and did not interfere with electrosurgical, ultrasound, X- Ray, medical displays and life monitoring equipment. Neither did the aforementioned equipment interfere with ZeroWire. Additionally, since ZeroWire operates in 3.1 – 4.8 GHz, typically wireless LAN and mobile phones will not cause interference as they operate outside the ZeroWire frequency range.
