Philips V24CT, V26CT manual Alarm Reminder Nurse Call Relay Signal Behavior

Alarm Setup

The Nurse Note—The nurse call relay is not available for the V24CT and V26CT.

Call Relay

The nurse call relay is a paging system which warns the nurse if an alarm occurs on a monitor. It becomes active in one of four situations depending on the way it has been configured:

•Red only alarms

•Red and Yellow alarms

•Red and INOP alarms

•Red and Yellow INOP alarms.

The nurse call relay is not active when the monitor’s alarm capability is switched off.

Note—The delay time to the nurse call relay output is max. 1 sec.

When an alarm has been silenced using the Silence/Reset key, and the

audible 2 or 3 minute alarm reminder is configured to be either On or Re- alarm, the nurse call relay signals will behave as follows:

Alarm	Reminder		Nurse Call Relay Signal Behavior
Reminder	Time
On	2 or 3 mins	The nurse call relay signals are repeated
		for a duration of 6 seconds every 2 or 3
		minutes unless the alarm condition is
		eliminated
Re-alarm	2 or 3 mins	The nurse call relay signals are activated
		after 2 or 3 minutes. The alarm tone and
		relay signals run continuously until they
		are interrupted by pressing the
			Silence/Reset	key.
