Product Overview
Monitor Assembly and Module Housing
The monitor is a portable product that provides physical mounting,
electrical connection, and power for a plug-in module. It also
provides power and SDLC I/O for externally connected flexports
and other devices. The monitor provides interfaces for:
• internal and optional external displays
• connections for a mouse, keyboard, barcode reader using USB
• remote control through IR remote control: option A
(SL number 90360-01)
www.spacelabshealthcare.com
• the required video signals for an external display
A separate external power supply powers the monitor. All voltage
conversion that is required to support the modules and the internal
electronics is provided inside the product. Provisions are provided
for detection of an AC line failure to provide for an orderly power
off.
1-7
91390
QUBE
External AC Power Supply
The external AC supply that powers the monitor meets worldwide
safety and EMC requirements. The external AC supply provides
20 VDC. The external AC supply provides 20 VDC at 4.5 Amps. The
external power supply (an AC/DC converter) has a 6pin rectangular
connector (P/N 119-0552-00).
Batteries
The option A monitor accommodates the use of two removable
internal batteries. At least one battery must be installed for normal
operation.
The option B monitor has two fixed (non-removable) batteries. The
option C monitor has one fixed (non-removable) battery.
For more information, refer to Batteries and Recharging Batteries on
page 1-14.
Display
I NTRODUCTION
LCD Display
Video Subsystem
For options A and B, the LCD display assembly provides multicolor
visual alarm notification based on the severity of the alarm. The
software controls the operation of the alarm lights. There is a red
light for high priority, a yellow light for medium priority, and a cyan
light for low priority and technical alarms.
The alarm lights are visible directly above the display screen on
options A and B, and on the rear of the monitor above the handle on
option A.
The primary display is a 12.1-inch color TFT LCD. The video interface
is 24-bit Flat Panel Display Link (FPD-Link) using LVDS.
The display has an LED backlight supplied with 12-volt power. A
PWM control signal controls the brightness of the LED backlight.
The power supply microcontroller generates the PWM control signal
under the direction of the host application.
The secondary display is an external monitor compatible with
standard Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signaling. The interface is
DVI-D which supports digital-only, single-link.
The secondary display has the same image and resolution as the
primary display.

Energy Saving Mode (Battery)
The qube has an energy saving mode. Energy saving mode lets the
monitor dim after 30 seconds of no interaction. If you enable this
mode, do not touch the monitor for 30 seconds to see it dim. The
monitor does not dim if you use a mouse with the monitor or an
alarm event occurs. Refer to the XPREZZON and qube System Administration Manual (P/N 070-2380-xx) for more details.

Monitors with wireless network communication show a wireless
signal strength indicator while they communicate over the wireless
network. To use the wireless feature, disconnect the wired network
connector. Not all qube monitors include the wireless option.
The wireless signal strength shows between the Admit Patient
button and alarm buttons. The signal strength shows a green
antenna with vertical bars on a black background. The number of
bars show the strength level. One bar is low strength. The strongest
signal is five bars. The signal changes to yellow when the network
connection is lost. For more information, refer to the XPREZZON and
qube System Administration Manual (P/N 070-2380-xx).
Figure 1-7 Wireless signal strength indication
Caution:
Signal strength and radio system congestion can contribute to waveform
gaps over the wireless network. Should this be a persistent issue, consult
with a Spacelabs Healthcare field service representative.
Batteries and Recharging Batteries
For option A, the monitor uses smart batteries, and at least one
battery must be installed for normal operations. If it uses two fully
charged batteries in a standard configuration, the monitor operates
up to eight (8) hours. With one fully-charged battery in a standard
configuration, the monitor operates up to four (4) hours.
The battery icon shows if the batteries are inserted. This icon shows
how much charge the batteries have. The icon updates every six
seconds and is to the left of the audio icon on the lower-right
section of the monitor. Refer to Table 1-5 on page 1-15.
Charge temperature limits are ≤80% RH.
The battery must be capable of continuous charge at 12.6 V. To
charge the battery, only use a dedicated level II or level III smart
battery charger. When you use a level II or level III smart battery
charger, the battery requests the appropriate charging voltage and
current.
The FULLY_CHARGED bit in the Battery Status is set when the
charging current tapers down to under 240 µA, while charging at
12.6 V.
Notes:
• The battery life greatly depends on usage, age, and the
environment. The battery operating life decreases over time.

• One battery charges in approximately two hours, and two
batteries charge in approximately four hours.
The option B monitor operates for up to four hours with two fully
charged batteries and standard configuration. With a single fully
charged battery and standard configuration, the monitor operates
for up to two hours. The battery is not removable from the monitor.
The option C monitor operates for up to two hours with a single
fully-charged batteries and standard configuration. The battery is
not removable from the monitor.
Note:
For options B and C monitors, only one battery icon shows on the
main screen.
Caution:
The qube monitor and smart rechargeable Li-Ion batteries and cells do
not overheat, they have internal protection devices. Overexposure to heat
will activate one of these devices and may permanently disable the
battery. If this happens, contact Spacelabs Healthcare to purchase a
replacement battery.

3 To make sure that the operation of the new battery is correct,
look at the battery indicator lights (Refer to Table 1-5 on page 1-
15).
4 Remove battery A. Replace it with another new battery.
Extended use of the batteries depletes the battery power. To
prevent patient data loss, the qube monitor watches the battery
power level that remains. As power gets low, the monitor warns the
user about low battery power and inhibits the use of the internal
recorder to extend run time.
