The Basics
Patient Data Module and PDM Dock
Patient Data Module
Patient Data Modules are self-contained, portable acquisition devices that acquire
patient data and sends the data to the transport monitor for processing and display.
PDM Dock
The PDM dock is fastened by 4 screws to the back of the transport monitor and holds
one Patient Data Module. Refer to the Patient Data Module service manual for PDM
dock installation information.
How to Install and Remove a Patient Data Module
Install a Patient Data Module
1. Guide the mounting rails of the Patient Data Module onto the PDM dock
mounting rails.
2. Gently slide the Patient Data Module onto the PDM dock until the locking key
secures it to the PDM dock.
Release a Patient Data Module
1. Pull the release tab in front of the Patient Data Module to retract the locking key
and release the Patient Data Module from the PDM dock.
2. Grasp the Patient Data Module firmly and slide it off the PDM dock mounting
rails.
TRAM Module and TRAM Chute
TRAM Modules
The transport monitor displays data acquired from a TRAM module.
TRAM Chute
The TRAM chute attaches to the back of the transport monitor and holds one TRAM
module. Refer to the service manual for TRAM chute installation information.
How to Install and Remove a TRAM Module
Install TRAM Module
1. Facing the TRAM chute, guide the back end of the TRAM module into the slot.
2. Gently push the module into the chute. You will hear a click when the module is
fully inserted.
Remove TRAM Module
1. Release levers are found on each side on the front of the TRAM module.

2. Press and hold the release levers simultaneously and pull the TRAM module out
3. Once released, grasp the TRAM module firmly with both hands and remove the
How to Connect the Transport Monitor to the TRAM Module
To connect the transport monitor to the TRAM module, plug the transport monitor ’s
interconnection cable into the connector labeled DISPLAY on th e f ron t of th e TR AM
module. Plug the other end of the cab le into th e VIDEO IN connector on the monitor.

Key Icon Description
A Power
When the transport monitor is battery powered or powered by the Patient Data
Module, this key turns the power on and off.
When the transport monitor is powered using the external power supply, or when
814A
it is powered by a TRAM module plugged into a powered Tram-rac housing, this
key turns the monitoring standby mode on and off.
When the standby mode is turned on, patient monitoring is discontinued while
patient data already accumulated is retained.
When the transport monitor is in standby mode and is powered using the external
power supply, the battery charging function continues.
When the transport monitor is in standby mode and is powered from a TRAM
module plugged into a powered Tram-rac housing, the battery charging function
does not continue.
NOTE
This key must be depressed for 0.25 seconds before the function is
activated. This helps prevent inadvertently turning the transport monitor off.
NOTE
When connecting a Patient Data Module, or powering on the transport
monitor with a Patient Data Module, the transport monitor can not be turned
off until the Patient Data Module boots up. If the Power key is pressed
during this boot time a message is displayed on the transport monitor: PDM
booting—Power button disabled.
B (blank key) This key is reserved for future use. The message NOT ACTIVE appears on the
transport monitor display when this key is pressed.

E Silence Alarm
NOTE
This manual contains more information on alarms. See Chapter 7.
818A
The function of this key can be set to NORMAL, SILENCE ONLY, or FLASH
PAUSE (See Setup Default Display on page 5-11.) When set to NORMAL or
FLASH PAUSE, this key silences a current, audible alarm for 60 seconds. Only
new alarms of equal or higher level interrupt the silence command.
WARNING
Alarms do not sound during an “Alarm Pause” condition.
Press the key twice during an alarm to start an alarm pause (5 minutes for AdultICU, 3 minutes for Neonatal-ICU). Press the key again during the alarm pause to
reactivate alarms.
If no alarm is sounding, press this key to start an alarm pause.
If your transport monitor is set up for Operating Room mode, you have three
levels of alarm pause:
Press once (if an alarm is sounding you must press twice) to start a 5-
minute alarm pause;
Press again to start a 15-minute alarm pause;
Press again to start a permanent alarm pause;
Press again to reactivate alarms.
When set to SILENCE ONLY, this key works as a silence key. Press once to
silence alarms; press again to reactivate alarms. Pressing this key when no
alarms are occurring does not affect the transport monitor.

The Basics
DC Power Indicator
The indicator illuminates green when power is applied to the transport monitor using
the external power supply. The indicator is not illuminated when the transport monitor
is not plugged into an electrical outlet.
Battery Power Indicator
The indicator illuminates yellow when the transport monitor is battery powered, when
the transport monitor is powered by a TRAM module plugged into a powered Tramrac housing, or when the transport monitor is powered by the PDM battery. The
indicator is not illuminated when the transport monitor is not powered or when using
the external power supply.
Battery Charging/Ready Indicator
An icon for each transport monitor battery indicates its charging status. The battery
charge icon illuminates yellow when the respective battery is being charged. If both
batteries are present and require charging, then both icons will illuminate even though
they will be charged sequentially . The battery char ge ico n illuminates green when the
respective battery is fully charged.
When the transport monitor is powered by the Patient Data Module or operating
under battery power, the battery charge icons are not illuminated. The icons are also
not illuminated when the respective battery is either not installed or has failed.
Patient Data Module Indicators
Power and communication indicators are located on the front panel of the Patient
Data Module.
Power Indicator
Communication Indicator
Power Indicator
The power indicator illuminates yellow during boot-up and turns green after
boot-up.
The indicator illuminates green when the Patient Data Module is powered by the
transport monitor (AC power or transport monitor battery power) and when the
Patient Data Module is powered by its own battery.
The indicator flashes yellow when the battery is almost out of power (5 minutes
of battery run-time remaining). See Battery Alarms on page 4-17.
The indicator is not illuminated when no power is applied to the Patient Data
Module.

Communication Indicator
The communication indicator illuminates yellow during boot-up and turns green
after boot-up.
The indicator flashes yellow if communication fails.
The indicator is not illuminated when no power is applied to the Patient Data
Module.
Turning on the Power
External Power Supply
The transport monitor is powered at all times when using the external power supply
(there is no power switch). Refer to the label on the power supply for the voltage and
current requirements. This manual contains other import ant power information. See
Chapter 2.
All of the front panel indicators will illuminate until the power-up sequence is
complete. After approximately 10 seconds you shou ld see a display on the screen.
The Basics
Normal Mode
Standby Mode
Off
Two modes of operation are available when using the external power supply. The
transport monitor will enter NORMAL mode when plugged into an electrical outlet
and the monitoring function is turned ON. Normal mode operation provides all
functional capabilities of the transport monitor including vital signs monitoring,
communications, and battery charging.
The transport monitor will enter STANDBY mode when plugged into an electrical
outlet and the monitoring function is turned OFF. When the transport monitor is in
standby mode, the battery ch arg ing funct ion i s still p rovided, t he acquis ition dev ice is
still powered, and the DC power indicators remain illuminated.
To turn the transport monitor completely off, you must turn the monitoring function
off by pressing the Power key on the front of the transport monitor, and then
disconnect the external power supply from the electrical outlet.
Additionally, to turn the transport monitor off when the TRAM module is in a Tramrac housing, it must be removed from the housing or the interconnection cable must
be disconnected from the TRAM module.
Indicators are not illuminated when the transport monitor is not powered.
