Connection of a SenTec TC Sensor
Take a SenTec TC Sensor (V-Sign™ Sensor 2 or OxiVenT™
Sensor).
Important: For PO
2
monitoring you must use an OxiVenT™
Sensor and an SDM with activated PO
2
-option.
Check the condition of the sensor membrane and the integrity
of the sensor (p.
15
). Change the membrane if necessary
(p.
17
). Do not use the sensor if any problems are noted.
Once sensor check/inspection of its membrane are completed
successfully, connect the SenTec TC Sensor to the Digital
Sensor Adapter Cable.
Thereafter, the SDM usually will display the message ‘Calibrate
sensor’ (for exceptions see description of the feature SMART
CALMEM, p.
17
).
Insert the sensor into the Docking Station for sensor calibration
(p.
16
).
If the sensor’s ‘Membrane Change Interval’ has elapsed
(this usually applies to new sensors), the SDM will trigger
the message ‘Change sensor membrane’ upon insertion of
the sensor into the Docking Station. In this case, you must
change the sensor membrane (p.
17
) before the SDM starts
calibrating the sensor.
Note: If you have changed the sensor membrane just before
connecting the sensor to the SDM, it won’t be necessary
to change it once again. In this case, simply confirm the
membrane change on the monitor (menu ‘Membrane Change’ -
only accessible if the sensor is outside the Docking Station).
