Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Connectors
The monitor uses flex cables and zero insertion force (ZIF) flex cable connectors. The flex
cables are all marked with a designator number which corresponds to a PCB board
designator. Flex cables and ZIF connectors require special care when handling them.
ZIF connectors use a sliding outer piece that latches and unlatches to secure and release
the flex cable. ZIF cables cannot be successfully connected or disconnected without
properly unlatching and latching the sliding outer piece.
Disconnecting a ZIF Cable
1.Using a suitable tool (for example, a paper clip, small flat-head screwdriver, or needlenose pliers), slide the latching piece of the connector away from the connector body.

2. Remove the cable.
Caution Do not attempt to remove a flex cable until the ZIF latch has been
opened.
Connecting a ZIF Cable
1.Slide the latching piece of the connector away from the connector body.
2. Insert the flex cable into the connector. This may require using a suitable tool to keep

Understanding Micropaq and the FlexNet Network
The monitor is intended to operate with an Acuity Central Station as part of Welch Allyn’s
FlexNet network. FlexNet allows multiple devices to communicate through hardwired
Ethernet networks and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). The Acuity Central
Station provides the primary display and entry of patient data for a patient connected to
the monitor.

Acuity Central Station
Micropaq monitors
FlexNet Network
Each patient-worn monitor supports two-way communication with an Acuity Central
Station through an access point in the FlexNet network. The access point is a digital radio
transceiver that connects to the FlexNet network. During monitoring, the monitor sends
the patient data to Acuity. Acuity and the monitor continuously analyze the data. Acuity
provides appropriate alarm or alert messages at the Central Station and other network
devices such as a hallway message panel and the monitor itself. Acuity also stores the
patient data for viewing or report printing.
If the monitor is moved out of range or loses communication with the FlexNet network

reconnects to Acuity.
