limits, the HI ALARM INDICATOR must be illuminated. To set the low
alarm limits, the LO ALARM INDICATOR must be illuminated.
P. Temperature Display
When a thermistor sensor is being used, the two LED displays indicate
the animal’s body temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Once
monitoring begins, the temperature is displayed every two minutes and is
announced with a double-beep audible tone. The temperature can also
be measured at any time by one long
depression of the PULSE RATE
ALARM KEY. One long depression of the OXYGEN SATURATION
ALARM KEY toggles the temperature setting (Cº or Fº).
2.2 Audible Features
Oxygen Saturation Indicator
A varying pitch of the audible tone signals a change in the oxygen
saturation level - a falling pitch indicates a decreasing oxygen saturation
level, whereas a raising pitch indicates an increasing oxygen saturation
level.
Audible Pulse Rate Indicator
A beeping audible tone signals the heartbeat.
There are three
volume levels of pulse-tones, and “off.” The pulse-tone volume can be
increased with the INCREMENT KEY
and decreased or silenced with
the DECREMENT KEY .
Temperature Indicator
A double-beep audible tone sounds each time the animal’s temperature
is displayed.
Alarm Indicators
Alarm conditions are generated only after an initial pulse has been
detected. Alarm tones are automatically silenced after the alarm
condition goes away.
•
The HIGH PRIORITY alarm tones sound continuously at the highest
frequency and highest volume. HIGH PRIORITY alarms are caused
by conditions such as low and high oxygen saturation and pulse rate,
no pulse, excessive ambient light, and other error conditions.
