Equipment Overview: Basic Components
The monitor consists of the following components:
Display assembly, including the flat-panel display and the control
panel.
Processing unit.
Processor/power management circuit board and speaker.
Back plastic.
The subsystems within the monitor operate from a common 9 to 18 V
power bus. Due to the wide variety of voltages required by the various
subsystems, power is converted locally by each subsystem. This
architecture results in an efficient and compact system by reducing the
number of conversions required and optimizing the physical size of each
converter for the specific application.
When operating on external power, the power bus voltage is 16.75 V,
generated by the external power supply.
No external power switch is provided.
The monitor is designed to operate on battery power during transport or
whenever AC power is interrupted. A complete battery management
system allows you to obtain maximum battery performance. Audible and
visual alarms alert you when loss of power is imminent. Capacity gauges
display battery charge condition and capacity on the monitor.
For more information on battery use, refer to the operator's manual.
The external power supply provides power to the monitor and to the
acquisition device by converting AC power into 16.75 V DC power. When
the internal batteries are inserted, the external power supply charges
the batteries.
The line voltage range of the external power supply is 100 to 240 V AC.
A TRAM chute is used to secure one TRAM module to the monitor during
patient transport.
