Surveyor Central
3-6
Signal Strength Verification
Antenna Network Verification (covered area)
Equipment needed:
ECG Simulator, X-12+/T12x Transmitter, and map of covered area.
•
Turn on ECG simulator with transmitter and simulator connected.
•
Set channel on all the monitoring slot of Surveyor Telemetry Central System to match the selected
transmitter channel and start monitoring on all beds.
•
Left click on one of the beds being monitored and select the
Averages
tab
•
In the upper right of the displayed window locate the signal strength area under the Heart Rate
(Ant A: <Value>, Ant B: <Value> dB)
•
Refer to the original
“covered area” map to determine which areas of the facility should display
acceptable levels of signal strength.
•
Document specific locations on the covered area map by location number (1 thru X) and locate the
transmitter at these locations while monitoring the signal strength on the Surveyor Central system,
•
Ensure there are no problems with low signal strength readings, or intermittent signal drop out for
the locations defined on the covered area map. Signal strength readings should measure >-80db
throughout the entire covered area.
•
Document the signal strength readings for Antenna A and B on the PM report.
