2.6. Manual Programming
The OMRON M24/7 can be programmed with using its buttons, without using a PC.
Programming Options
There are three different measurement plans which may be selected in case of manual programming. These plans are stored in the device’s inside memory and they cannot be changed. The rst plan which is also the default one in the OMRON BP Tracker Software, measurements every 15 minutes during daytime and 30 minutes during night. The second one provides less frequent measurements with 20 and 40 minutes respectively. The third version is based on 30 minute measurement intervals, independent of the time of day.
Other settings are the same in case of all three plans: cuff size not set, pressure limit 300 mmHg, enabled LCD display and disabled day/night shift. Daytime starts at 6:00, night time starts at 22:00, special session is disabled. Measurement period is exactly 24 hours.
Measurement Timing
The rst measurement has a controlling purpose and it starts in the second minute after the programming, then in the next ve minutes there are no measurements. The rest of the measurements are taken at speci c 15/20/30/40 minute intervals and there are measurements at the 6:00 and 22:00 hour shifts. The last measurement is exactly 24 hours after the second measurement. Patient information can be selected or added later in the OMRON BP Tracker Software.
Manual Programming Step by Step
1.Push the measurement (triangle) and the day/night shift (moon) buttons simultaneously.
2.Keep them pushed, in 10 seconds the measurement options will be displayed for 3 seconds each along with the measurement frequencies. Then the clock will be displayed.
3.In order to choose the measurement plan, you must release the buttons while that plan is displayed. You will hear two beeps and the LCD will display four blinking “o” (oooo for four seconds). The process of programming takes approximately four seconds, then you will hear ve beeps. For ve seconds, the chosen plan will be displayed again for con rmation. If programming fails for some reason, the E90 error code will be displayed
on the LCD.
In case of manual programming there is no time setting, as the PC would be responsible for time synchronizing. If the time setting is imprecise then the time of measurements may be false. If you would like to use the manual programming function then do not leave the device without batteries for a longer period. If you do so then program the device with the PC once and then leave the batteries in it, so the time can be set by the PC.
