4 Operating Instructions
4.1 Installation and setup
The effective radio range of the Access Point and the matching medical devices is around
330 feet (100 meters). Please choose a location in your house that is centrally located, or
close to where the measuring devices will be used.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of explosion or fire do not use this
equipment in presence of flammable Anaesthetic mixture with Air or with
Oxygen or Nitrous Oxide
.
1) Connect a telephone cord between the Access Point and a telephone jack on the
wall. An extra telephone outlet is provided on the back of the Access Point so you
can plug a telephone into the same outlet.
2) CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord .
3) Connect the 6VDC power to the back of the unit, and plug the AC Adapter into a
regular AC outlet. When the device is connected, expect all the front-panel LEDs
to light momentarily, with the leftmost (Power) LED remaining on, and the 2
nd
LED (Radio) blinking at roughly one-second intervals (see Figure 4).
4)
To mount the unit on the wall (OPTIONAL), two screws, mounted horizontally, on
1.5” (37mm) centers, can be used. Please use screws and anchoring systems
appropriate to the wall material. The screw head size should be between ¼” and
3/8” (5-9 mm).
4.2 Location of devices
For successful use of the system, it is vital to remember that at its core, the Polytel Data
Transmission System is wireless. This means that the transmitting device must be
located within radio range of the Access Point, normally 330 feet. Note that various
types of physical barriers, including walls, can reduce the effective range of the
devices. The variety of construction methods makes predicting the effective range in a
particular setting difficult.
Do not place Access Point on a metal surface or in a metal enclosure as
this is likely to interfere with correct operation .
