Docking Station
The Precision Xceed Pro System offers an optional docking station that provides a
means for hands-free, automatic data transfer (upload/download) between the Precision
Xceed Pro Monitor and a PC running the data management application software.
Set up the docking station outside patient vicinity. The docking station has a
hinged base that allows it to sit on a desktop or to be mounted to a wall using the
mounting plate supplied by Abbott Diabetes Care (ADC).
The Precision Xceed Pro Monitor is compatible with older Abbott docking stations that
have LED lights, lit with an optional AC Adapter. The following LED information applies
only to older docking stations.
The green LED indicates that the docking station is connected to a power supply.
The yellow LED (steady) indicates that the monitor has been properly placed into the docking station.
The yellow LED (flashing) indicates data transfer (upload/download) is in process.
The AC Adapter is not required.
If the AC adapter is not used, data transfer will still occur but the LEDs
will not light up.
Note:
Use only the AC adapter supplied by ADC. Use of any other adapter may cause serious damage to the
docking station and to the Precision Xceed Pro Monitor while it is in the docking station.
Connecting Cables to the Docking Station
The docking station has two ports located on the back: an AC adapter port (older docking stations only), and a data
transfer port
. The data transfer port connects the docking station to a variety of transfer options using the
RS-232 communications cable supplied by ADC.
The following network connections can be established (Figures 1-2).
Fig. 1 - Connection to Data Management System via Terminal Server
1. Connect the terminal server AC adapter to a power source.
2. Connect the RS-232 cable to the terminal server and to the docking station data transfer port.
3. Connect the network cable to the RJ-45 network jack.
Note:
For plug-connected equipment where protecting grounding is required, plug the equipment into a supply
outlet that has a ground connection.
