To configure the backup System Controller:
1 Remove the System Controller, the 11 Volt Lithium-Ion
backup battery, and the Patient Handbook from
the System Controller packaging.
2 Connect the backup System Controller to the
Power Module.
3Set the System Controller clock via the Admin screen.
4Set the System Controller’s language, if needed, via the
Admin screen (shown above).
For this task you need:
•System Controller (new and packaged) complete
with 11 Volt Lithium-Ion backup battery and
Patient Handbook
•Working Power Module with patient cable and
AC power cord connected
•System Monitor installed on Power Module
•System Monitor data cable
•Functioning and grounded (3-prong)
AC electrical outlet
IMPORTANT!
Once system operating parameters have been
entered (Pump Speed & Low Speed Limit), the
pump stores these values. Therefore, the backup
System Controller does not need to have the
patient’s parameters programed. Once the backup
System Controller is connected to the pump, the
operating parameters are transferred from the
pump to the Controller.
The backup System Controller’s internal backup
battery must be installed and the clock set.
This way, the backup System Controller is ready
if the running System Controller needs to be replaced.
5Install the 11 Volt backup battery into the System
Controller.
6Disconnect power from the System Controller.
7 Put the System Controller to sleep. Press and hold
the battery button ( ) for five seconds.
Configuring the Backup System Controller
NOTE:The following “Hold” screen appears
accompanied by a reverse countdown from
five dots to one dot. When the countdown
ends, the System Controller is in Sleep Mode.
NOTE: The System Controller will alarm.
This is normal.
NOTE:The System Monitor will have PUMP
OFF, LOW FLOW, and Driveline Disconnected
alarms active, and the System Controller will
show a red heart alarm ( ) and display a
“Connect Driveline” message. This is normal.
