Testing the Monitor Cryout Capability
You can test the monitor’s ability to perform a cryout, representing
a system event or alarm, to an IntelliServe
® system (when
applicable) by holding the magnet against the GSM module just to
the left of the antenna jack (with LEDs properly oriented and
antenna connection facing downward) for 5 seconds and then
releasing the magnet from the module. The sequence Cryout
indicates initiation of the cryout test message to IntelliServe.
Checking the Monitor Battery Voltage
Check the battery voltage using Profile or Qstart before installing
the monitor and after collecting data. The projected life for the
internal monitor battery pack is 15 months at a 15-minute sample
rate for the 12-volt battery pack. Actual battery life will vary based
on the number of sensors and active functions providing data.
However, replace the battery pack as soon as possible whenever the
internal voltage for the 12-volt pack is 7.5 volts or less, or if Profile
or Qstart provides a Low battery status. Although the monitor may
function adequately at 7.5 volts, communications with the monitor
will quickly begin to degrade and become inconsistent once the
battery voltage drops below 7.2 volts.
Check the current battery voltage in the monitor using the
Diagnostics tool in Profile in the following way:
Note: Consult the Qstart online help for instructions on
checking the battery voltage in the monitor using Qstart.
1. From the Profile software main screen, select the location and
monitoring point and then select the Diagnostics toolbar button
(or select Tools > Diagnostics from the main menu).
2. On the Diagnostics dialog, select the Connect button to
establish communication with the monitor.
3. Review the Monitor Status that displays once communication
has been established. Replace the internal battery when the
Monitor Status indicates that the internal voltage is Low.
