MAINTENANCE: Checkout Procedure
Do the following to check the Tram-net communication network.
1. If a Tram-net hub is used, plug the Tram-rac housing cables into each
of the four Tram-net connectors (blue). Verify that the waveforms
recover on the monitor display each time the cable is reconnected.
2. If a Tram-rac 2 housing with an ASYNC COMM connector (red) at
the rear of the unit is used, the functional test of Tram-net must be
performed using another Tram-net peripheral device (i.e. remote
control).
Do the following to check the monitoring network, if used.
1. Disconnect the patient cable from the Tram module and verify
alarms at the central station.
2. Select GRAPH GO/STOP and verify graphing at the Centralscope
central station.
Do the following to check the remote control.
1. Plug the remote control into a Tram-net connector (blue). Check all
functions of the Trim Knob control and 12 hard keys. Verify a
response at the monitor display.
2. Plug the remote control into the auxiliary async connector (red) at
the rear of the monitor. Check all functions of the Trim Knob control
and 12 hard keys. Verify a response at the monitor display.
If the monitor has a remote video/remote alarm, do the following to check
it.
1. If a remote display is used, check the connection from the monitor.
The remote display should show all real time waveforms exactly the
same as the display on the monitor.
2. Remote alarm indicators are site dependent. Verify proper operation
by disconnecting the patient cable from the Tram module. The
remote alarm should activate when an alarm is heard from the
monitor.
If the monitor uses a Tram-net interface assembly connected to a device,
do the following to check it.
1. Connect the Tram-net interface assembly and device. Use the
appropriate Tram-net interface assembly manual and device manual
for interconnection directions.
2. Observe correct type of device identified at the monitor.
3. Simulate and observe waveform on monitor.
