Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual
Time of Day
A real-time clock provides the time of day, which appears between measurement cycles and can
be programmed in either a 12- or 24-hour mode.
Cuff Pressure
This pressure can be shown while the monitor is taking a measurement. If cuff pressure is not
selected, "----" appears. Cuff pressure can be enabled or disabled in software.
Event Code
Event codes are 4-digit LCD messages that begin with "EC" or, in some cases, show specific
codes such as "LLL" for a low battery. If enabled, a beep sounds during an event code and the
code is displayed on the monitor. Refer Troubleshooting on page 5-1 for event code information.
Count Down Sequence
Whenever the monitor begins a measurement cycle, it turns its tone ON (if beep is enabled) and
counts down from 5555 to 1111 on the display.
IR Communications
During IR communications, the monitor first displays 9999 on the LCD to indicate that it has
detected a cable connect and has gone into the communication mode. The monitor periodically
attempts to contact a modem. The left two digits on the monitor display indicate the steps in the
communication process. For more information, refer to Base Station via Modem on page 2-3.
