Installation and configuration

RackMount

CAUTION

Mount the receiver system securely and away from vibration.
Vibration may cause patient waveform dropout at the CIC.

NOTE

If using rack mount, route all cables to the hinge side so the receivers are
accessible for service. A right angle F-connector may be helpful for the
coaxial cable.

Connections

Keep the following in mind when connecting the system.

Use a dedicated connection between the RX network and the ApexPro Telemetry
System.
