1.2ALARMS AND MESSAGES
Alarm messages are displayed on the scrolling Message Display bar. Reference the Alaris® System DFU for detailed information.
An audio alarm and the Alarm Status Indicator flash red when an alarm limit is met or exceeded. All alarms can be temporarily silenced by pressing the SILENCE key on the PC Unit.
1.3BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This section contains general information on the battery management system. Included is information on how the power supply processor monitors and maintains the battery, controls the system on/off for the rest of the instrument and provides support functions for the main processor.
The battery management system consists of the power supply processor IC and various sensors and signal processing circuits.
The power supply processor performs the following functions:
•Controls battery charger.
•Provides a battery status "battery gauge".
•Monitors battery voltage and temperature.
•Controls instrument power source (on/off function).
The power supply processor communicates with the main processor via a serial data channel. The main processor issues commands to the battery manager which then responds with status information and data using this channel.
1.3.1Battery and Charging Process
The battery pack is a 10-cell (1.2V per cell), high capacity nickel metal hydride (NiMH) type, rated at 12 volts and 4 amp-hours (with a minimum of 500 charge cycles). It has a built-in temperature sensor which allows the battery manager to monitor battery temperature.

The battery charge circuit charges the battery with a constant current of 2A whenever the power supply processor turns the charger on. The power supply processor regulates average charge current by turning the charger on and off with the appropriate duty ratio. The battery charge cycle consists of 4 modes: fast charge, float charge, terminates charge, and top-up charge.
•Fast Charge: Fast charge is initiated whenever the battery is between 10° C and 27° C, and has been discharged by more than 200 amp-seconds through actual use or self discharge. Leaving the instrument unplugged for a day would cause about 200 amp-seconds of self discharge. The charge current is a continuous 2A. The end of a fast charge is detected when the temperature of the battery is at least 30° C and increases at a rate of 0.7° C/min. (or 1.4A depending on system load at 0.6° C/min.) above its temperature at start of charge, or when the battery voltage declines by 50 mV below its peak value, or total charge time exceeds 2.6 hours.
•Top-Up Charge: The top-up charge phase begins at the end of the fast charge phase and finishes adding the last few percent of charge to the battery and balances individual cell charges. This phase charges at an average rate of 0.4A.
•Float Charge: The float charge phase begins at the end of the top-up phase and helps maintain a fully charged battery. This phase charges at an average rate of 225 mA and 1 second per minute.
•Terminates Charge: The power supply processor does not allow charging to begin unless the temperature is 10 - 40° C. The power supply processor terminates charge if battery temperature drops below 10° C or rises above 55° C.
1.3.2System On/Off
The power supply processor provides the interface between system on/off switch and the main processor. When the instrument is off, the power supply processor interprets either power switch as a turn on command and applies power to the rest of the instrument, informing the main processor the switch was pressed. Once power is on,
further presses of a power switch are passed on to the main processor which determines the appropriate response under the existing conditions. If the response is to turn the power off, the main processor requests that the power supply processor remove power from the rest of the instrument.
If an error has been detected which causes the watchdog to be in alarm, a push of either power switch will immediately cause the power to be turned off, without intervention by the power supply processor.

1.3.4Battery Maintenance
CAUTION
Use only batteries approved by Cardinal Health, due to battery manager requirements and the thermostat contained in the battery assembly. If the instrument has been in storage, connect it to AC power before turning it on. One refresh cycle is usually sufficient to restore battery capacity. If necessary, repeat the procedure at 24-hour intervals, 2 or 3 times, to increase capacity.
Several features are included in the battery manager to help properly maintain the battery.
•A battery capacity measurement is available in diagnostic mode.
•A special circuit removes all load from battery when voltage falls too low, preventing damage from over-discharge due to long-term storage.
NiMH batteries can be stored no more than 6 months (3 months in instrument) with no load but will self-discharge from a charged state in about 100 days. This does not damage the battery as it would if it were
a lead-acid type battery. Connect the instrument to AC to recharge batteries.
Disposal
There are no federal, state or local laws managing the disposal of NiMH batteries. NiMH batteries are recyclable. To learn about recycling batteries at INMETCO, visit their website at http://www.inmetco.com.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4BATTERY CAPACITY INFORMATION
All batteries have specific conditions under which they are guaranteed to meet their published specifications. Deviations from these conditions typically result
in a reduction of available capacity. Manufacturers of NiMH batteries rate capacities, usually expressed in Ah (Ampere-hours), based on a specified "ideal" charge and discharge condition as well as the use of a new battery.
An ideal charge cycle starts with a fully discharged battery charged at C/10 (C is rated capacity in Ah) constant current for 15 hours while at room temperature. For example, a 1.8 Ah battery would be charged for 15 hours at 180 mA constant current with a room temperature of 23° C.
The ideal discharge starts with a fully charged battery under a C/5 constant current load at room temperature, discharging to
a cell voltage of 0.9V. The rated capacity is then calculated as the time to discharge divided by 5. A 1.8 Ah cell would be discharged at 360 mA constant current and not reach 0.9V for at least 5 hours. A given battery type has different capacities based on the load. For example, a battery rated at 1.8 Ah at a 360 mA load may have only 1.6 Ah at a 1600 mA load.
There are many conditions which can affect the battery capacity. The following
conditions have the most practical impact on battery capacity delivered in this instrument.
•Battery Alarm Voltage: The battery alarm voltage is the voltage at which the instrument stops operating and generates an alarm indicating the instrument needs to be connected to AC power. Under perfect conditions, a battery of 10 cells connected in series reaches the end
of discharge at 9.0V; however, cells are not perfectly matched so some will reach 0.9V before others. The problem occurs when a cell in series with other cells can go below 0.9V and actually go into cell reversal, which permanently damages the particular cell. On the
other hand, increasing the alarm voltage to compensate for imperfectly matched cells results in reduced run times with available capacity. The user sees this as premature low battery warnings and alarms. The instrument deals with this by increasing the alarm voltage to guarantee the battery is not damaged and reduce the assumed capacity to below that printed on the battery. The battery gauge is intended to show the minimum run time left on the battery taking all these factors into account.
•Charge Rate: The ideal charge rate requires 15 hours to get to full charge, which is undesirable from the user’s perspective. The instrument provides a multiphase charge cycle which results in about 80% capacity in the first 2 hours after fast charge. The next charge phase, top-up, is designed to finish the charge and to bring all individual cells to the fully charged state, essentially rematching them. See the "Battery and
Charging Process" section in this chapter for "Fast Charge" and "Top-Up Charge" information. If the top-up charge is not completed, the cell mismatch is not reduced and the cumulative capacity reduction occurs. Top-up is a 3-hour charge but the elapsed time to complete it may be over 5 hours, as the charger is turned on and off to keep the battery cool during that time.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4BATTERY CAPACITY INFORMATION
(Continued)
•Cycle Life and Aging: Batteries wear out as they get older and go through many charge/discharge cycles; the chemicals and materials used to construct the cell break down. The instrument deals with this by assuming that a battery will continually reduce
capacity at a rate equivalent to 30% over 4 years and continually reduce capacity at a rate equivalent to 30% per 200 full charge cycles. These calculated values are used to reduce the run time displayed on the battery gauge.
•Partial Discharge/Recharge: When a battery is partially discharged and then charged for less than the full time, differences between individual cell capacities result in cells completing charge at different times. If the full charge sequence is not completed, the cell mismatch becomes progressively
greater. This is viewed by the user as low apparent run times and premature low battery warning and alarms. The problem is cumulative in that the mismatch increases for every partial cycle. The lowered capacity is not permanent but may require 2-3 full discharge/charge cycles to recover. The instrument
deals with this by reducing the run time displayed based on a limited history of partial cycles.
•Temperature During Charge: As the effective ambient temperature of the battery increases, the amount of charge that the battery will accept decreases. At an ambient temperature of 35° C, an enclosed battery will temporarily accept only about 90% of the charge it would otherwise accept at 23° C.
1.5POLE CLAMP FEATURE
The PC Unit’s pole clamp adapts to a wide variety of surfaces, to provide versatility. The pole clamp features include:
•Ergonomically designed knob.
•Accommodates diameters from 5/8 to 13/8 inches (15.9 to 34.9 mm).
•Vertical or horizontal orientation, allowing it to adapt to both IV poles and bed rails.
If pole-mounted, the system should be mounted in an upright position during operation, to provide maximum stability and display readability.
1.6 MEMORY
Model 8000:
•Flash 4.5 MB (nonvolatile): It stores boot and application codes for the PC Unit.
•RAM 4 MB (volatile): It stores the Data Set, CQI logs, event logs, error logs, battery logs, and patient data. It is volatile but has a lithium battery on the Logic Board to maintain memory when no other power is applied.
Model 8015:
•Flash 16 MB (nonvolatile): It stores boot and application codes for the PC Unit, CQI logs, event logs, error logs, and battery logs.
•CF Flash 64 MB (nonvolatile): It stores audio tones, the Data Set, and "restorable" patient data.
•SDRAM 128 MB (volatile): It executes transferred application code from flash. It stores patient-specific program and instantaneous information.
