Tango+ Interface Notes
To setup Tango+ with the EDAN stress system, simply follow the directions below.
1. Verify Correct RS-232 and ECG Trigger Cables
RS-232 Cable –used to communicate with the EDAN SE-1010 PC ECG Stress System.
This cable enables the EDAN Stress System to prompt Tango+ when it needs a BP
measurement, and allows the Tango+ BP reading to be transferred to the EDAN display
and reports.

1. Turn on the electrocardiograph
Note: Turn on the electrocardiograph before connecting the treadmill or the ergometer; the
start-up of the electrocardiograph may be abnormal.
2. Connect the electrocardiograph to the treadmill or the ergometer.
A. Connect the electrocardiograph to the treadmill
Connect the RS232 port of the treadmill to the RS232 port of the electrocardiograph
with an RS232 cable.
Note: The position of the RS232 port may be different on different treadmills.
B. Connect the electrocardiograph to the ergometer
Connect the RS232 in port of the ergometer to the RS232 port of the
electrocardiograph with an RS232 cable.
Note: The position of the RS232 in port may be different on different ergometers.
C. Connect the electrocardiograph to the stress BP monitor
D. Connect the power cords, and connect the earth wire (when necessary)
E. Load the recorder paper
F. Turn on the stress BP monitor and treadmill/ergometer
G. Set the electrocardiograph

FAQs for Tango+
Q. The Tango+ displays a status message. What does it mean and what do I do?
A. See the Quick Set-Up guide (that is attached to your Tango+) or the Troubleshooting
section in your User’s Guide for details on the Status Message and solution.

Q. The Tango+ monitor returns results of 0/0 after blood pressure measurements. What
do I need to do to get a BP reading?
A. There are certain noisy conditions where the Tango+ cannot accurately measure BP.
When the Tango+ encounters these situations, it returns a reading of 0/0. Placement of the
microphone attached to the cuff is critical for reliable operation of the Tango+. Follow the
instructions in the Cuff Tutorial (located on the SunTech Medical website under Products
Tango+) for correct microphone placement. Follow steps 1 and 2 in Conducting the
Stress Test in the User's Guide to provide the best conditions to obtain a measurement.
Q. Can I use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango+ is
working correctly with my stress system?
A. You cannot use a heart rate or blood pressure simulator to test whether the Tango+ is
working with your stress system. The Tango+ monitor requires that the ECG signal and the
Korotkoff sounds, collected by the microphone in the cuff, originate from the same source,
meaning the patient.
Q. I cannot clearly see the Tango+ display. How do I fix this?
A. If you cannot clearly read Tango+, you can adjust the contrast of the display by following
these steps:
1. When the operating screen is displayed, press the SELECT button 2 times. This
will bring up the MAIN MENU screen.
2. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, highlight MONITOR SET UP and press the
SELECT button.
3. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, highlight CONTRAST and press the SELECT
button.
4. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, modify the contrast of the screen. When you are
finished, and press the SELECT button to confirm the choice.
5. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, select EXIT twice to return to the operating screen.
Q. My Tango+ displays a message, “Please VERIFY CALIBRATION” or “Equipment
Maintenance and Calibration Required.” What do I do?
A. Verification of Pressure Calibration
Equipment Required:
1. Calibrated electronic manometer or equivalent.
2. 500mL volume or the Orbit-K Adult Plus cuff wrapped around something that will not
break or crush (no glass).
3. Hand Inflation Bulb with bleed valve.
4. Tubing, Tee pieces, and miscellaneous connectors or you can order the T-Tube Kit
(SunTech Part # 98-0030-00).
Procedure:
5. When the operating screen is displayed, press the SELECT button 2 times. This will
bring up the MAIN MENU screen.
6. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, highlight MONITOR SET UP and press the
SELECT button.
7. Using the UP or DOWN arrows, highlight VERIFY CALIBRATION and press the
SELECT button. The monitor will close its bleed valves and will display on its
screen the pressure applied to the patient hose connector.

8. Verify the Tango+ calibration by manually inflating and checking the manometer
against the pressure reading on the Tango+ display.
9. Once the calibration has been completed, use the UP or DOWN arrows to select
EXIT twice and return to the operating screen.
