Testing the Monitor Cryout Capability
You can test the monitor’s ability to perform a cryout, representing
a system event or alarm, to an ADS hosted software system (when
applicable) by holding the magnet against the red dot (labeled
WAKE) adjacent to the LED window on the monitor top for more
than 5 seconds and then releasing the magnet from the top. The
sequence Cryout indicates initiation of the cryout test message to
the address configured in the monitor through Qstart.
Checking the Monitor Battery Voltage
Check the battery voltage through the diagnostic codes (initiated on
the monitor LED STATUS window using the red magnet) or in
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 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 through Qstart in
the following way:
Note: Checking the battery voltage through the monitor
status in Qstart for monitors equipped with dynamic SIM
cards is possible only through a serial (direct) connection.
