3.4 Battery Alarms (Models 622xx & 623xx)
Battery Alarms indicate that there are 10 or fewer minutes of battery life remaining. When one minute of
battery life remains, a final alarm tone indicates that the Atlas Monitor is about to shut down, and a
Trend report is automatically printed. Battery Alarms do not trigger a Print On Alarm.
Battery problems – When the Atlas Monitor is
running on battery power, it will warn you when
there is less than 10, less than 5, and less than 1
minute of life remaining in the battery.
If you are using battery power, the AC indicator
(
AC ~) on the front panel will not be lit. The
monitor will run on battery power for about one
hour, depending on what patient measurements
are being taken. More power is required by
NIBP than by some of the other measurements
because the air pump is used. This means that if
you are not taking blood pressure readings, the
battery power will last longer. Printing also uses
more power.
Low battery power – When only 10 minutes of
battery power is left, a chime sounds and a
message appears on the screen. The chime will
sound a reminder every two minutes.
Very low battery power - When the battery has
only 5 minutes of power left, a message appears
and a chime sounds every minute.
Battery Depleted - When the battery power is
nearly depleted, the Instrument Problem Alarm
sounds, a message is displayed, and the monitor
will automatically shut off within one minute.
If the Atlas Monitor is equipped with a printer, it
will print out a Trend report before shutting off
if there is any trend data that has not been
printed yet.
Note: If the battery is depleted, it may turn itself
off immediately without warning. This will
occur if the battery is defective or damaged
or if the battery was depleted when you
turned it on. In this case, plug the Atlas
Monitor into AC power and allow the battery
to charge for a few minutes before using the
instrument on AC.
Note: Atlas Monitor model 621xx does not have
a battery option
.
Note: Repeated total depletion of the battery will
reduce the life of the battery.
Recharging the battery – The battery is
permanently installed. The battery is recharged
whenever the instrument is operating on AC
power.
Note: It takes about five hours to recharge a
battery that is completely depleted to the
80% level. It can take up to 24 hours to
charge a depleted battery to full capacity.
