Equipment Overview: Equipment Description
Equipment Description
The Transport Pro Monitor
The monitor is a portable display for the Tram modules to provide a
means of displaying patient parameters and data from the Tram during
patient transport.
Two rechargeable, lithium-Ion batteries provide power to the display and
Tram during transport. An external power supply connector is provided
to power the unit from an AC power source and to recharge the batteries.
An asynchronous communication port is provided for communications
with the Tram module. Unity Network (twisted-pair Ethernet) hardware
is provided on the display, but Unity Network functionality is not
available in V1A.
The Transport Pro monitoring system consists of the following
components:
 Transport Pro display/processing unit
 Tram module
 Tram chute
 Data cable (“curly” cable)
 Batteries (two)
 Optional external power supply (AC power-to DC-power converter)
 Optional external battery charger
Basic System Components
Transport Pro Display/Processing Unit
The display/processing unit consists of the following sub-components.
 Flat-panel display
 Main control/indicator panel
 Processor/Power management circuit board and speaker
 Rear housing
Tram Module
The monitor uses a Tram module to acquire patient data. See “Tram
Module Compatibility” on page 2-10 for a list of compatible Tram
modules.
Tram Chute
The detachable Tram chute is used to secure one Tram module to the
monitor during patient transport.

2-4 Transport Pro Patient Monitor Revision A
2012659-002
Equipment Overview: Equipment Description
Data Cable
A cable is connected between the Tram module and the display. This
cable provides a communication pathway between the two devices.
Batteries
The monitor is designed to operate on battery power during transport or
whenever AC power is interrupted. A complete battery management
system allows you to obtain maximum battery performance. Audible and
visual alarms alert you when loss of power is imminent and on-screen
capacity gauges indicate battery charge condition and capacity.
Optional Components
External Power Supply
The external power supply provides power to the display and to the Tram
module. When batteries are inserted into the monitor, the external power
supply will also charge the batteries.
Cadex SMart Two+ External Battery Charger
The external battery charger can hold and charge up to two batteries.
When you select the Target Capacity switch on the charger, the
charger compares the battery’s performance to a 60%, 70%, or 80% target
capacity set on the battery charger. If the battery fails to meet the target
performance, the battery charger will prompt you to condition the
battery. If the battery does not hold a charge, then the battery charger
will illuminate a “fail” light.
