BaseStation User’s Manual

To charge the battery in a monitor using the BaseStation:
1. Connect the AC Adapter/Charger to the BaseStation power input jack, then connect the
AC Adapter/Charger to an AC source.
2. The BaseStation is now powered from the AC Adapter/Charger. If a hand-held monitor is
placed within the BaseStation the internal battery of the monitor will be charged (provided
that a rechargeable battery is in the monitor). Both the
icon on the monitor and the
green “In Use” LED on the BaseStation will illuminate. A depleted battery will charge in
approximately three hours.
Battery charging will not occur if the optional “AA” Battery Holder (Cat. No. 6862-00) is
installed in the monitor. Charging will only occur when the rechargeable battery is
installed in the monitor. In this case the BaseStation will supply power to the monitor until
it is removed, it will then operate on battery power.
3. The monitor may be operated while resting in the BaseStation (the BaseStation must
remain in a horizontal position). If the monitor is removed from the BaseStation, or if the
AC wall adapter/charger is unplugged, the monitor will be powered from its internal
battery.
• Although other connectors may physically fit, do not attempt to connect any device
other than the Novametrix AC Adapter/Charger to the power jack on the
BaseStation. Doing so may damage the BaseStation and the monitor, and will void
the warranty.
• When powered by the AC Adapter/Charger, the BaseStation will not overcharge a
rechargeable battery.
• Both a 120 volt (Cat. No. 6879-10) and a 230 volt (Cat. No. 6880-10) version of the
AC Adapter/Charger are available from Novametrix.
Power and RS232 Serial Port Communications
Located on the BaseStation is a six pin modular contact which provides an RS232
interface as well as a power output for unit operation and battery charging when
connected to Novametrix hand-held monitors. This connector meets the patient safety
requirements of the following agencies: IEC 601-1, UL544, and TUV.
When the monitor is placed within the BaseStation contact is made between the 6 pin
connector in the BaseStation and the Features connector on the bottom of the monitor.
