EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
Powering the ELI 380
ELI 380 is an AC powered and battery operated device that can simultaneously charge the internal battery/batteries
while connected to AC power. The device can be operated on AC line voltage in the absence of a battery, or in the
event of a depleted battery. When AC power is removed, the device immediately switches to battery power.
Operating on AC Power
Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet and into the back of the ELI 380. (See
.) ELI 380 is
automatically powered on when connected to AC power and will not power off.
Indicators on the keyboard will illuminate as follows:
Battery
AC Power
The AC power LED indicator illuminates when device is connected to mains (AC power).
The battery indicator represents the battery charge level from zero to five illuminated bars.
NOTE:
In the event of complete power loss due to battery removal or a hard reboot (depressing the
On/Off button for greater than 7 seconds) the system will require a time/date reset.
Battery Operation
Press the power On/Off
button on the keyboard. ELI 380 is automatically powered off after a fifteen-minute
period of no patient connection.
With a new, fully charged lithium-ion battery, the ELI 380 is typically capable of acquiring more than 30 resting
ECGs with 1 performed every 10 minutes before a recharge is necessary. When two lithium-ion batteries are used,
more than 60 resting ECGs may be acquired with 1 performed every 10 minutes before a recharge is necessary.
When operating on battery power, the battery indicator on the keyboard reflects battery status:
Five green LED bars
=
90 – 100% charge
Four green LED bars
=
75 – 89% charge
Three green LED bars
=
55 – 74% charge
Two green LED bars
=
35 – 54% charge
One green LED bar
=
15 – 34% charge
One amber LED bar
=
Less than 14% charge*
No LED bars illuminated
=
Depleted battery/batteries
*30 minutes after the amber LED is displayed and when the ELI 380 battery has less than 10 seconds of power
remaining, the message,
“Battery Low! Charge Unit!”
will display. The device will then automatically power
down. Connecting to AC power while the
Battery Low! Charge Unit!
message is displayed (10 seconds), will
prevent the automatic shutdown.
If
Battery Low! Charge Unit!
is displayed during ECG acquisition, the device will continue normal operation until
the user exits the ECG acquisition mode. The device will then automatically power down.
