Introduction and Specifications
Introduction
The HHC3 Hand-Held Controller (hereafter called the “Controller”) facilitates
the direct selection of parameters for the Fluke Biomedical medSim 300B,
MPS450, and Marq III simulators. The Controller uses telephone receiver
cable for connection to a simulator. The Controller provides for single-key
commands, dual-key commands, factory-defined sequences, or easy
programming of user-defined sequences. It displays the current waveform
selection and the user prompt on the alphanumeric display.
Safety
WXWarning. Read before using the Controller.
To avoid personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Do not use in any manner not specified in the Users
Manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by this product
may be impaired.
• Always press power off on the Controller and unplug the
Battery Eliminator before cleaning the outer surface.
• Inspect the product. If the Controller appears damaged or
appears to operate in a manner not specified in the

Command Types
Single-Key and Dual-Key Commands
There are 15 single-digit keys (0-E) on the Controller. Each command appears
on its respective key. Most single-digit keys act immediately: the Controller
sends the command when you press the key. However, the B key requires
that you also take at least one more step with the Sor R key, and then
press T.

Refer to Table 2-3 for descriptions of the single-key commands.
Start a dual-key command by pressing Q, followed by the two keys for the
command (for example, B and C.) If this dual-key command offers no
further selections, the Controller sends it to the simulator immediately. With
other dual-key commands, you will need to take at least one more step by
pressing S or R to make a selection from a list of commands. Send the
selected command by pressing T. Refer to Appendix A for descriptions of
dual-key commands.
2-9
HHC3
Users Manual
Immediate Commands
The Controller will act upon single-key and dual-key commands either
immediately or after you complete at least one additional step.
The Controller sends many commands as soon as you press a single key or
complete a dual-key sequence. These are immediate commands: no other
selection is necessary. The Controller display identifies each immediate
command.
All single-digit commands except B are immediate. For a dual-key
immediate command example, press Q B K, which yields the
following display:
The Controller sends this command to the simulator without further action.
Stepped Commands
Pressing a single-key or selecting the second key in a dual-key sequence can
require a secondary selection. These are stepped commands: additional
selections may be required. The display identifies such a command with up and
down arrow symbols. You press R or S to make the stepped command
selection. For example, pressing Q C G yields the following display:
Pressing R at this point accesses the next selection for this stepped
command, as follows:
With the required selection displayed, press T to send the command to the
simulator.

Factory Sequences
The Controller features several pre-programmed common test sequences
referred to as factory sequences. Start a factory sequence by pressing Q,
followed by the two keys for the sequence. Access factory sequences for the
medSim 300B by using dual keys G J through H E. Access
factory sequences for the MPS450 or Marq III by using dual keys L G
through M D. Factory sequences are immediate commands. The display
changes to identify each part of the sequence.
Note
With the Controller connected to the medSim 300B, you can also
access four user-defined sequences programmed on that simulator.
Access these sequences with keys H F through H I.
Refer to Appendix B for descriptions of factory sequences for the medSim
300B and MPS450/Marq III simulators.
User Sequences
User sequences allow you to set up test programs using the Controller’s
keypad. You will be able to program the user-defined command by selecting
up to 100 steps involving existing single- or dual-key commands and userentered delay times and termination techniques. You can set up user sequences
for dual keys K B through L F. Refer to Chapter 3 for a detailed
discussion of these user sequences.

Replacing the Batteries
If you are using the Controller with the MPS450 or Marq III simulator, either a
battery or a battery eliminator will be required. Refer to Figure 2-4 when
removing and installing the batteries. The battery eliminator connects at the top
of the Controller.
Note
Use the battery eliminator whenever possible, especially when
running long-term test sequences.

Running a Factory or User Sequence
Invoking Factory or User sequences resembles dual-key operation.
There are 13 Factory sequences, corresponding to the dual keys from
L G to M D. There can be up to 20 User sequences, corresponding
to the dual keys from K B to L F.
These sequences consist of a set of commands that execute one after the other
in the order defined by the user, with an intermediate delay between
commands. These delays can be immediate (with a default minimum delay of 2
seconds), timed (where the user defines the specific time), or manual (where
you have to use S to proceed to the next command in the sequence.)
If the delay is immediate, the Controller executes the command, waits for the
default 2-second delay, and automatically proceeds to the next command. If the
delay is timed, the Controller executes the command, waits for the defined
delay, and proceeds to the next command automatically.
If you defined the timed delay for an immediate command, the Controller
displays the corresponding command description. After two seconds, the
Controller shows the following display until the defined delay elapses:
3-24
Programming User SequencesRunning a Factory or User Sequence
If the delay type is manual, the Controller sends the command to the simulator
immediately. The Controller displays the command description. After two
seconds, the display shows:
Press S to exit this command and proceed with the next command in the
sequence.
For stepped commands, you can scroll through the stepped command selection
values and press T to execute that command. At this stage, you can press
R or S to select any other selection value and execute or you can press
and hold S to exit this stepped command and proceed with the next
command in the sequence.
At the end of the sequence execution, if you defined the action after last
command as STOP, the Controller displays:

Alternatively, if you defined the action after last command as REPEAT, the
Controller continues executing the same sequence from the beginning.
