Testing Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
If you wish to try how the Baby Control Digital breathing monitor triggers a warning signal or whether it is ready for operation,
then take the baby out of the bed, crib or pram when the device is switched on. The pre-set threshold level of detection will
flash several times on the display (2) after switching on. Then the detected value, which flashes every two and half seconds,
will be lower and lower as there is no movement, until you gently touch the sensor pad or mattress with your hand. If you
keep your hand directly on the sensor pad, the device will detect even continuous, instinct muscle movements and so the
displayed value is not zero (mostly „9”).
Because of its high sensitivity, Baby Control Digital breathing monitor may be tested as follows: stand half a meter (about 50
cm) from the bed and wait until the display shows „0” or „1”. Then blow towards the mattress. Baby Control Digital will detect
this movement and the displayed value must be at least one level higher than is the pre-set threshold level of detection. Then
the alarm situation should occur (see Alarm status). Test your Baby Control Digital breathing monitor at least once or twice
a week.
IMPORTANT:
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is sensitive to even tiny mechanical vibrations coming
from the surroundings and its operation may be influenced by external effects (ventilator, draught, nearby
refrigerator, TV, toy of baby’s elder brother or sister, dynamic walk near the bed, etc.). We recommend to
eliminate these effects as much as possible not only for the sake of the baby’s undisturbed sleep, but also
to avoid the malfunction of the device. If these effects cannot be completely eliminated, then perform the
testing with increased caution. In case of need you may decrease the sensitivity of Baby Control Digital
breathing monitor so that the threshold level of detection is adjusted in the manner described above
(see Adjusting the threshold level of detection).
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor – TWIN MODE
(BC-220i, BC-230i)
Characteristic features
If appropriate conditions are met, Baby Control Digital breathing monitors of BC-220i and BC-230i types are able to monitor
the breathing of twin (two) babies at the same time and sound alarm if suspension of breathing occurs in anyone of them.
Baby Control Digital breathing monitors of BC-220i and BC-230i types only differ in the number of their sensor pads.
(BC-220i – 2 sensor pads, BC-230i – 4 sensor pads).
