IV. RECEIPT, INSPECTION & RETURN
1. Inspect the outer box for damage.
2. Carefully unpack all items from the box and check to see that you have the following items:
•MaxiSim 2000 Patient Simulator
•Carrying Case
•10 Pack, Snap-to-Banana Adapters
•MaxiSim 2000 User Manual
3. If you note physical damage, or if the unit fails to function according to specification, inform the
supplier immediately. When BC Biomedical or the company’s representative, is informed, measures
will be taken to either repair the unit or dispatch a replacement. The customer will not have to wait for
a claim to be investigated by the supplier. The customer should place a new purchase order to ensure
delivery.
4. When returning an instrument to BC Biomedical, or the company representative, fill out the address
label, describe what is wrong with the instrument, and provide the model and serial numbers. If
possible, use the original packaging material for return shipping. Otherwise, repack the unit using:
•A reinforced cardboard box, strong enough to carry the weight of the unit.
•At least 5 cm of shock-absorbing material around the unit.
•Nonabrasive dust-free material for the other parts.
Repack the unit in a manner to ensure that it cannot shift in the box during shipment.
BC Biomedical’s product warranty is on page 8 of this manual. The warranty does not cover freight
charges. C.O.D. will not be accepted without authorization from BC Biomedical or its representative.

V. CONTROL SWITCHES AND TERMINALS
Front Panel
1. Power Switch Turns the power on and off.
2. LCD Display Sets LCD display waveform values. Use the
right key to enter units, and the left key to enter
tens. Press the top of the key to increase the
value. Press the bottom of the key to decrease
the value.
3. Enter Pressing this stores newly specified waveform
value set by the keys.
4. High Level ECG
Connector
Standard phone jack connecting the high level
ECG output signal.
5. BASE (Baseline
Impedance) Slide
Switch
Sets the impedance between each lead. The
respiration parameter (breathing rate/min) is
selected and stored in the display.
6. LEAD Slide
Switch
Determines which lead is in use. The position
of the switch must correspond to the type of
patient monitor in use.
7. Blood Pressure
Slide Switch
(µV/V/mmHg)
Sets the sensitivity to match the input sensitivity
of the patient monitor (either 5 or 40
FV/V/mmHg). The waveform is selected and
stored in the display.
8. Temperature
Slide Switch
Sets the temperature to be used.
9. Lead Test
Terminals
For testing ECG leads. Connect each end of
the lead to one of the two Lead Test Terminals.
The LCD display will flash if the lead is OK.

Rear Panel
10. Low level ECG
Connectors
10 AHA color-coded 4mm safety
terminals. Snap-to-banana
adapters for the terminals are
supplied with the MaxiSim 2000.
11. Battery
Eliminator
Micro jack for connecting the 9V
plug-in power supply transformer
for use in operating the unit from
any standard electrical outlet.
USE
1. Power
The power switch is the slide-switch situated at the bottom right-
hand corner of the panel. The instrument should be switched off
when not in use, to save the battery. A flashing display indicates
low battery power.
2. Battery Replacement
The battery is situated in the base of the instrument. Use a 9 volt
alkaline battery.
3. Top Panel Controls and Connectors Display and Keyboard
The MaxiSim 2000 has a two-digit display. To the left of the LCD
display is a listing of available waveforms and two-digit codes.
Access a waveform by displaying its corresponding two-digit code.
Use the two keys below the LCD display to enter units and tens
(the right key is for units; the left is for tens). Pressing the top of
the keys increases the values, while pressing the bottom of the
keys decreases the values. The selected waveform is stored by
pressing Enter. Repeat the above procedure if you desire to store
several waveforms. By using the left-hand key (tens), you can
switch between waveforms stored in the instrument.
When the apparatus is switched on, the display will show the
program version for a short period before switching into standard
mode.
Manual ECG, High Level Output
The high level ECG output signal is a Lead II waveform with
0.5V/mV of low level Lead II. The high level ECG connection
(standard phone jack) is situated in the upper left-hand corner of
the instrument.
NOTE
Use only BC Biomedical
AC Adapter plug-in power
supply transformer
supplied with the unit.
NOTE
Do not use mercury,
air or carbon-zinc
batteries.
NOTE
When the instrument
is switched off, all
stored information will
be canceled.

Respiration
The respiration signal is transferred via ECG connections. The
position of the LEAD switch determines which lead is in use. The
position of the switch must correspond to the type of patient
monitor being used. The BASE (baseline impedance) switch sets
the impedance between each lead. The respiration parameter
(breathing rate/min.) is selected and stored in the display.
Blood Pressure
The sensitivity switch (pVN/mmHg) must be set to match the input
sensitivity of the patient monitor (either 5 or 40 pVN/ mmHg). The
waveform is selected and stored in the display. Prewired cables
and diagrams for connecting various types of monitors are
available from BC Biomedical. Unterminated cables are also
available.
