Optional Peripherals (VCR, Printers, and Image Devices)

The optional Physio module (see “Physio Module Option” on page 43) installs in one of the PC drive bays. The front panel of the module bears two input connectors:

A 3-lead ECG physio connector

An auxiliary analog input (standard ¼-inch phone jack)

An externally generated auxiliary analog input signal using the phone jack can substitute for the 3-lead ECG physio connector at the front panel. You can also input an auxiliary ECG waveform from an external patient monitor and display it, in all modes. The R-wave from this signal can serve as a time reference for the system.

The power supply is an enclosed, self-contained, replaceable module that mounts under the e-box at the right side of the cart. It accepts AC input sources from 100 V to 240 V, at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

The power supply provides all required AC and DC voltages to the system. Three switched

120 VAC outlets for powering the monitor and two peripheral devices are at the rear of the power supply. An unswitched outlet powers the M2540A’s internal PC. When the system is shut down, only the 120 VAC outlet to the PC is enabled. A green LED on the left front of the power supply lights when the power supply is energized.

The M2540A supports several types of optional peripheral devices:

VCRs, including NTSC-format and PAL-format models

Thermal color and thermal black-and-white printers

Various biopsy kits (See “Supplies and Accessories” on page 202.)

A magneto-optical disk (MOD) drive for data storage

“Optional Peripherals” on page 201 lists all peripherals supported by the ultrasound system. Some peripherals mount on a shelf below the system control panel.
