General Operation
The unit is controlled by 15 light touch keys. They allow the user to move around within
the displayed parameters, select the desired options, choose a specific category and
control the setup and power for the unit. When a key is depressed there is an audio
click when it is accepted, or a razz tone if the key is invalid.
A graphical LCD display provides the user with information about the current status of
the ECG settings. The keys move the block cursor through the displayed
information; highlighting the parameter available for selection. The keys
change the options for the highlighted parameter. The cursor begins flashing if the
parameter has been changed. The key selects the changed option. The
key returns to the previous state, without any changes being made.
To make option selection even easier and to make memorizing and using codes
unnecessary, the key will bring up a screen that displays all the options for the
selected parameter. The and keys can then be used to quickly
scroll through the available options and select the desired setting.
Five category keys allow for quick setting of output waveforms. The , ,
, and keys move the display directly to the selected category.
The or keys can then be used to scroll through and select the
desired settings.

6
The key opens a screen that allows the user to select the unit’s general output
settings, as well as setup for the system.
Category Keys
The key enters the NSR category.
The key enters the arrhythmia category and changes the first line in the display
to the first arrhythmia choice.
The key enters the pacemaker category and changes the first line in the display
to the first pacemaker waveform choice
The key enters the machine performance-testing category and changes the first
line in the display to the first performance waveform choice.
The key opens a screen that allows the user to set the conditions for and start
the special training mode.
Power Key
The key turns the unit on and off. To turn off the unit, the key must be held for 1
second.

7
Backlight
The Graphic LCD display may be viewed with or without the backlight. Depressing any
key will activate the backlight. However, since the backlight will drain the battery if left
on, it will automatically shut off after a few seconds when running on battery power.
(Note: This time is selectable in the System Setup screen).
The intensity of the backlight can be adjusted in the System Setup screen to conserve
battery life.
The key is provided to toggle the backlight on or off at any time.
NOTE: The backlight parameter in the System Setup screen may be set to Off, 1-30
sec Timed or Manual.
ECG Waveforms
The microprocessor has stored in its memory all of the digitalized waveforms. It sends
the individual lead waveforms to D/A converters, which generate accurate analog
representations. The waveforms are then sent through resistor networks, developing
the appropriate signals on the output terminals.

8
Universal Patient Lead Connectors
The 10 Universal Patent Lead Connectors allow for 12-lead ECG simulation with
independent outputs. AHA and IEC color-coded labels are located on the face of the
unit to aid in connecting the corresponding U.S. and International Patient Leads.

Auto Power Off
The unit may be programmed to automatically turn off after a selected number of
minutes of no key activity to conserve the battery. (Note: This time is selectable in the
System Setup screen).
Battery
The unit utilizes two 9 Volt Alkaline Batteries in the rear battery compartment. When the
unit detects a LOW BATTERY condition (5% Battery Life), a warning window will appear
once per minute to alert the user. The key may be used to clear this window
and continue use of the unit. If the battery is not replaced before the battery reaches a
critical level (0 % Battery Life), the unit will shut down. (The percentage of life left in the
batteries can be viewed in the System Setup screen.)
Battery Eliminator
The unit has a 2.1 mm jack for connecting a 9 VDC or 10 VDC Battery Eliminator. The
10 VDC Battery Eliminator provided with the PS-2105 is required when attaching the
optional MSP-2100 Pulse Oximetry Module. Note: The Battery Eliminator will not
charge the battery.
Power Up Settings
The unit may be setup to turn on using either the factory default settings, the same
settings that it had when last turned off or a custom set of parameters as previously
saved by the user (See Power Up Settings section for details).

10
Automatic Modes
The ECG NSR Rate, ECG Performance and Static Blood Pressure Parameters all allow
for an automatic setting. In each of these, the unit will sequence through the full range
of settings automatically at a fixed rate (as selected in the Auto Step Time Parameter).
When in this mode, the time remaining in each step is displayed.
The key may be used to manually advance to the next step. The key is
used to terminate the mode.

11
The PS-2105 can send waveforms to ECG machines in 3, 5 or 12-lead configurations. It
has independent outputs for each signal lead, referenced to the right leg.
Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) occurs when the heartbeat is normal, beating at a rate
between 50 and 100 BPM with a standard QRS waveform shape and height. The PS-
2105 simulates the NSR with a default pulse of 80 BPM, amplitude of 1.0 mV on Lead
II, P-R interval of 160 milliseconds, no Artifact and no ST Segment elevation.
The PS-2105 is placed into NSR mode by pressing the category key.
