A Downloader
(serial number beginning with DS)
or a Downloader/Recharger
(serial number
beginning with DRS, DRN, or DRC)
is needed to update the software in the analyzer. This
procedure is explained in the software update package. The Downloader/Recharger is also
required if rechargeable batteries are being used. This section will explain how to use the
Downloader/Recharger to recharge rechargeable batteries. Only rechargeable batteries
supplied by Abaxis may be used.
The Downloader/Recharger will recharge a rechargeable battery in the analyzer when the
analyzer is placed in the Downloader/Recharger. The Downloader/Recharger also has a
Recharging Compartment for an additional rechargeable battery.
Power Requirements:
The Downloader and Downloader/Recharger require one power
outlet. The i-STAT and Martel printers can be powered from the Downloader/Recharger, so
that only one power outlet is needed for both devices. The Downloader and
Downloader/Recharger must be used with the AC power supply adapter supplied with them.
Caution:
•
Do not place metal objects on or near the exposed gold charging contacts.
•
Be sure to install all cables and power supplies so they do not pose a trip hazard. Mount
equipment so cables and accessories stay clear of walkways. The AC power supply
adapter plug acts as the disconnect device for the Downloader and
Downloader/Recharger and, therefore, the socket outlet must be installed (or located)
near the Downloader or Downloader/Recharger and must be easily accessible.
•
Only Abaxis provided printers may be connected to the Downloader printer port.
•
An ethernet cable and serial (DB9) cable may NOT be connected to the Downloader (DRS
and DRN) at the same time.
•
A network cable and USB cable may NOT be connected to the downloader/recharger
(DRC) at the same time.
•
Users should not connect the Downloader or Downloader/Recharger to a medical
electrical system.
•
The Downloader and Downloader/Recharger are not intended for use in the patient
environment (within 1.5 meters of the physical location of the patient).
