Chapter 4: Operating the TraumaFX®
Master Controller (MC)
This chapter describes the operational features of the MC written from the
perspective of having paired at least one upper and one lower unit to the MC. If an
instruction is incompatible with your current set-up (e.g. paired with only an upper
or only a lower), please disregard.
Power
Power for the Master Controller is provided by one (1) 18v Makita Lithium-Ion
battery. All batteries are fully rechargeable and come with a charger and
manufacturer’s instructions and operating manuals.
TraumaFX System Requirements
In order to use the MC with TraumaFX® upper and lower simulators and
accessories, the individual simulators must be powered on and paired with their
respective remote control transmitters. For instructions on how to do this, please
refer to the User’s Guides for the individual simulator and/or TraumaFX® remote
control transmitter. The MC can be used with as many as 6 full-body systems and
accessories. Anything paired with a single remote control transmitter (upper body,
lower body, accessory) will be displayed together on the MC as a single “body”.
It is important to remember that the MC can be used to control any or all paired
TraumaFX systems, or it can be used as a monitoring device only. All remote
control (RC) transmitters remain active for input and can be used to override
commands from the MC.
Scanning for TraumaFX® Upper or Lower Units or
Accessories
After powering on the MC, you will be taken to the Global Main Screen.
Depending on when they are turned on, there are occasionally simulators already
listed at start up, or the screen may be blank (Figure 5). As with a phone, you can
use two fingers to zoom in and out. To select a particular full-body system, simply
touch anywhere in the remote-body box. When selected, the box outline turns blue
and an “x” appears in the top right corner. Bodies must be selected for the MC to
interact with them. Click the “x” in the upper right corner to deselect a body.
