PAD CONTACT are alternately displayed, and
energy will not be delivered
• If a short circuit exists between MFE Pads, the
message DEFIB PAD SHORT is displayed.
Monitor
The patient’s ECG is monitored by connecting the patient
to the unit via the 3 lead or 5 lead wire patient cable,
MFE Pads, or through the paddles. Four seconds of
ECG is presented on the display along with the following
information:
• averaged heart rate, derived from measuring R to R
intervals
• lead selections — I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V (with
ECG cable), PADDLES, or PADS (APLS if connected
to AutoPulse
®
Plus)
• ECG size — 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 cm/mV
• pacemaker output in milliamps (Pacer version only)
• pacemaker stimulus rate in pulses per minute (Pacer
version only)
• defibrillator output in joules
• other operational prompts, messages, and diagnostic
codes
Monitoring or diagnostic ECG bandwidth is selectable.
Recorder Function
The strip recorder normally operates in the delay mode
(6 seconds) to ensure capture of critical ECG
information. You manually activate the recorder by
pressing the RECORDER button. It is activated
automatically whenever a defibrillation shock is
delivered, a heart rate alarm occurs, or the rhythm
analysis function is activated. You can deactivate the
stripchart recorder during these events.
Batteries
The E Series products use easily replaced sealed, lead-
acid or lithium-ion battery packs that, when new and fully
charged, provide at least 2.5 hours of monitoring. Use of
the defibrillator, strip chart recorder, and pacemaker
reduces this time.
When a LOW BATTERY message appears on the
display and the unit emits two beeps in conjunction with
the displayed message, you must replace and recharge
the battery.
Internal Battery Charging
You can charge the battery within the device via AC
(alternating current) mains, or an optional DC (direct
current) input.
When the E Series products are plugged into AC mains
or to a DC power supply, the CHARGER ON indicators
operate in the following manner:
• The orange-yellow CHARGER ON indicator
illuminates continuously whenever the device is
turned OFF and charging the battery or whenever the
device is turned ON with a battery installed.
• The green CHARGER ON indicator illuminates
continuously whenever the unit is turned OFF and
the installed battery has been fully charged to present
capacity.
• The green and orange-yellow CHARGER ON
indicators illuminate alternately when no battery is
installed in the unit or when a battery charging fault
has been detected.
When the device is not connected to AC mains, the
CHARGER ON indicators remain extinguished. If your
E Series unit does not function as expected, refer to the
“Troubleshooting Guidelines” on page 13-1.
External Battery Charger
Use the ZOLL Base Power Charger 4x4 or ZOLL
SurePower Charger for external battery charging and
capacity evaluation. You can charge up to four battery
packs simultaneously; testing is automatic. See the
appropriate ZOLL battery charger operator’s guide for
more information.
Diagnostics
A computer contained within the unit performs self-
diagnostic tests whenever the product is initially turned
on and periodically during operation. During operation, a
Function* FAULT XX message is displayed if a fault is
detected. If this occurs, turn the unit off and then on and
recheck operation. If the unit is connected to AC power,
disconnect the power after turning the unit off, then
reconnect and turn the unit on again. Contact authorized
service personnel if the message continues to be
displayed.
* Function: may include Recorder, Pacer, Defib, etc.
