RS232 Computer Link
The optional Computer Link feature allows a hospital/facility computer to interact with the pump. The computer cannot start
or stop the pump, set the rate, or make any change in status. The feature may be enabled or disabled by qualified personnel in
the pump configuration settings. If the feature is enabled (On) the user may select Monitor, to allow the computer to receive
information from the pump, or Off. When Off is selected, the computer cannot communicate with the pump.
To assure continued electromagnetic compatibility performance, the communications cable attached to the pump should be
no longer than 1 meter, have fully shielded connector housings, and have a 100% coverage braid/foil shield attached to the
connector housings around the signal conductors with the cable jacket.
