Assembly
The Main Board (Figure 6-14 on page 6-42) contains:
•ICs required to store the software and perform the logic of measurement,
analysis, calculation and display.
•Coin battery for the Real Time (RT) clock. This clock provides time stamps
for data and times the transfer of data to and from TeleMon.
•Keyed connectors for the cables that supply power and control data to units
performing specialized functions, such as display or NBP measurement. Each
connector is uniquely keyed to prevent any misconnection. All power comes
from Main Board circuits.
•The OFF/ON Power Switch, which extends through an opening in the left side
of the rear housing when the unit is fully assembled. The switch performs the
following functions:
– When ON, applies line power to the Main Board if the External Power
Supply is connected.
– When ON, applies battery power to the Main Board if the External Power
Supply is not connected.
Hardware and Software Description2-1
Hardware
– When OFF, applies line power to the battery for charging if the External Power
Supply is connected. Only the various power and battery indicators are functional.
– When OFF, shuts off all power if the External Power Supply is not connected. The
coin battery on the Main Board continues to drive the Real Time (RT) clock and
some memory circuits.
•The External Power Connector, which extends through an opening in the rear housing.
Use of this connector feeds power from the External Power Supply to the Main Board,
which may also distribute it to other modules.
•Serial Port. The Serial Port Connector on the Main Board is accessed through an
opening at the bottom of the Rear Housing. The port is used for software updates. The
opening is covered by a snap-lock door.
•Optical devices. The transmitter communicates with the TeleMon, when docked,
through an infrared (IR) path. IR data is reflected onto an optical device on the Main
Board through a perforation in the IR Shield. Another device provides a control and
data path to the transmitter through a second perforation.
The NBP
Board
The Inverter

•Speaker Mount (Figure 6-16 on page 6-44), a formed stainless metal piece bent into
extensions for the Speaker mount and the data path reflector. Coded optical beams from
a docked transmitter are reflected onto the optical receptor of the Main Board and
beams from the emitter on the Main Board are reflected into the transmitter. Broken
beams are interpreted by software in the processing unit of the Main Board as an
undocked transmitter. On the outside of the Rear Housing, the NBP Cuff Holder is
screwed to the Speaker Mount through the housing.
•Cooling Manifold Assembly, a formed metal piece fastened to the Rear Housing above
the Transmitter Dock. A small cooling fan with integral drive motor is fastened to it.
From the fan housing extends the Fan-to-Main Cable. Cooling and venting are
facilitated by slots in the bottom and top rear surfaces of the Rear Housing, perforations
on the side of the Rear Housing, and large perforations in the Battery Housing. The fan
is powered by the OFF/ON switch at the side of the monitor.
•Transmitter Dock (Figure 6-19). Three interlocking plastic pieces forming a dock that
fits into the docking port on the side of the Rear Housing. The Dock screws to mounts
on the Rear Housing. The screws also hold the dock together. The Transmitter-to-Main
power cable interlocks to the back of the Dock and terminates in a connector for Main
Board attachment. An integral latch furnishes some resistance to docking and
undocking the transmitter, and holds the transmitter in place. An opening in the top of
the Dock passes optical data streams between the transmitter and the Main Board via a
reflector surface on the Speaker Mount. All ECG and SpO

Site Planning—Specific Requirements
This chapter provides an overview of site planning for your telemetry system. It
includes the following sections:
The monitor should be used in an area reasonably free from vibration, dust, corrosive or
explosive gases, and extremes of temperature and humidity. The following paragraphs give
information concerning environmental considerations.
Temperature The monitor operates within specifications at ambient temperatures between 0 and 35
Celsius. Temperatures exceeding these limits could affect instrument accuracy and cause
damage.
Operating
Operate and store TeleMon at altitudes up to 3,048 meters (10,000 feet).
Altitude
Radio
Frequency
Interference
Management of the RF environment in your facility is important to the overall performance of
your telemetry system, including the monitor. The considerations are the same. In most cases,
use of the monitor implies that the Telemetry System is already in place and the RF
environment has already been taken into consideration. For full coverage of this topic, refer to
the Telemetry System documentation, especially Chapter 2 of the Service Guide.
WarningWarning
TeleMon units containing transmitters that are 25 kHz apart in transmitter frequency
interfere with one another at distances of 1-3 feet. This situation is aggravated by ECG
cable proximity. Symptoms include dropout (at the information center), waveform
artifact of the ECG (at central and TeleMon), and screen freeze (at TeleMon). To avoid
this situation, maintain a distance of >3 feet between TeleMon units.
o
3-2 Site Planning—Specific Requirements
Power Requirements
The monitor is a mobile extension of the Telemetry System and can display and broadcast
information through the antenna on battery power alone for up to a five hours. However, for
bedside use it should be connected to a grounded wall outlet through its own external power
supply. The bedside wall outlet should provide input of 100 - 250 VAC at 50 - 60 Hz. The
monitor and therefore the bed need to be within 6 feet of where the external power supply is
to be mounted. The line cord between the wall outlet and the external power supply must be
grounded and routed and/or mounted to avoid accidental tripping or pulling.
The External Power Supply must be grounded during operation. If a 3-wire receptacle is not
available, then a hospital electrician must be consulted to ensure that proper grounding is
available on installation. Never attempt to use a three-wire to a two-wire adaptor with the
External Power Supply. For details, see the “Electrical Specifications” on page 9-10.
Note—The TeleMon battery may not arrive at your site fully charged due to time in transit or
storage. Make sure that the battery is fully charged before using TeleMon.
Power Requirements
Antenna System Site Information
Antenna
Coverage
Area
All transmitter information is available at the TeleMon, whether or not the transmitter is in the
antenna coverage area. However, if the TeleMon is outside the antenna coverage area, there is
no communication to the Information Center and no indication at the TeleMon that the RF
signal is not being received at the Information Center. Outside the coverage area, no alarms
can be generated at the Information Center.

Site Planning—Specific Requirements 3-4
Installation
This chapter describes the alternatives available for the installation of a TeleMon
monitor and its External Power Supply.
The easiest and most mobile way to mount the TeleMon is simply to stand it on a flat surface.
The monitor needs to be visible and in a safe place, as free as possible from the danger of
accidental pulling, knocking over, or spilling of fluids.
The simplest placement of the External Power Supply is on the floor near the TeleMon. The
power output cable allows a distance from TeleMon of six feet. Do not place the monitor
where it can be pulled down onto the patient. The power input cord should run directly to the
wall wherever possible. It should not be strung across a passage.
WarningWarning
To avoid the risk of accidental entanglement and strangling, place or mount the AC
power cabling away from the patient. Use similar caution in temporarily storing ECG,
NBP or SpO2 cables.
WarningWarning
TeleMon units containing transmitters that are 25 kHz apart in transmitter frequency
interfere with one another at distances of 1-3 feet. This situation is aggravated by ECG
cable proximity. Symptoms include dropout (at the information center), waveform
artifact of the ECG (at central and TeleMon), and screen freeze (at TeleMon). To avoid
this situation, maintain a distance of >3 feet between TeleMon units.
4-2 Installation
Mounting on a Pole
Mounting on an IV pole combines mobility with stability. The External Power Supply can be
mounted apart or near the TeleMon on the same pole. For example, mount the power supply
at the bottom of the IV pole.
Note—The power input cord must run from the TOP of the power supply to the monitor, to
avoid seepage of spills into the plug on the other side (Figure 4-2).
For pole mounting, use the Pole Clamp, Part Number 5061-8363, which can support a
maximum load of 14 pounds (6.5 kg).

Mounting on the Wall (General)
Wall mounting requires the most preparation and is the most stable, but least mobile,
configuration.
Caution
These mounting instructions are neither applicable in California nor sanctioned by the
California OSHPD for installation in the State of California, U.S.A., in conformance to
that state’s requirements for seismic protection.
The following instructions describe surface wall mount base installation to a wall.
Before instruments have been installed, the hospital or other facility, its consultants, or its
contractors shall be responsible for meeting the following conditions:
•That the wall is adequate to safely mount monitoring instruments, including the
selection of fasteners and their proper installation.
Mounting on the Wall (General)
•That the installation has been completed in accordance with accepted standards of good
workmanship.
•Anchorage or support in a metal stud or wood stud wall must be verified by a registered
professional engineer before installing the mounting system.
Installation 4-5
Mounting on the Wall (General)
WarningWarning
Existing wall construction and reinforcement:
The wall mounts must be capable of supporting four times the specified weight capacity
after they have been properly installed. To provide this support in plaster, plasterboard,
or gypsum board walls, the wall covering must be removed in the area of work and a
reinforcement must be provided within the wall structure.
Do not install a wall mount onto solid brick or brick veneer walls, or onto crumbly wall
material such as cinder blocks or deteriorated concrete or concrete block.
Ensure that no electrical wiring, piping, or other utilities within the wall interfere with or
can be damaged by the installation process.
Fastenings:
Lead expansion bolts or plastic expansion anchors specifically are not adequate or safe.
Use the anchors specified for solid concrete construction.
Never mount heavy instrumentation to plain gypsum board using expansion anchors.
The wall covering (plasterboard or plaster) must be removed and the wall must be
reinforced internally, in new or existing construction.
In Installation:
No portion of the mount or mainframe may extend over a patient’s bed.
Never exceed the maximum rated load specified on the label(s) attached to the wall
mount in use.
Never exceed any maximum instrument stacking height specified on the label(s) attached
to the wall mount in use.
Do not attempt to remove any wall mount while instruments are attached.
The wall mount is mounted directly to the wall. All mountings and anchorages must conform
to local building codes and regulations. A variety of mounts are available and can be
purchased, or the user can devise his own, provided it conforms to the warnings and
regulations stated in this manual.
Installation consists of building a mount to which the Dovetail or External Power Supply
Bracket are fastened. The monitor then slides and snaps onto the Dovetail and the External
Power Supply slips into its bracket. The bracket can also be mounted directly on the wall.
In general, wall mounts must be installed securely to the wall’s internal structure with number
10 sheet metal screws, 1/4-20 or 10-32 pan head machine screws, or bolts with nuts or toggle
wings. The type of fastening and method depends on the wall construction.
Note—Machine screws have built-in lock washers or other means of securing threads. All
sheet-metal screws have type-A threads.
4-6 Installation
You can install the mount base in three ways:
1. On Hollow Block or Hollow Tile Walls.
2. On Solid Concrete or Solid Block Walls.
3. On Drywall.
