Link Box
The Link Box connects the manikin to the computer.

to the connector marked “Manikin” on the back of the Link Box.
2) Connect serial cable to connector marked “PC” on the back of
the Link Box and to serial port on back of your computer.
3) Connect clear tubing from blood pressure cuff to the inlet
marked “BP cuff” on the back of the Link Box.
4) Connect the SpO
2
cable to the SpO
2
connector on the back
of the Link Box.
5) The audio cable has three ends. Connect the RCA / phono plug
to the connector marked "Audio input" on the back of the link
box. The stereo jack with single wire shall be connected to the
Simulated Patient Monitor, and the stereo mini jack with double
wire shall be connected to the computer's headphone output.
For illustrations please see the accompanying Install Guide.
If a wireless microphone is used, the receiver should be
connected directly to the Link Box connector marked "Audio
input" instead of the audio cable described above (pre-defined
vocal sounds will not be possible to use in parallel)
6) Plug the Link Box AC power cable into a power supply
(110-240 V AC). If you are using the Portability Kit, attach to
the 12 V DC input according to the Portability Kit instructions.
7) Connect external speakers, if used, to connector marked
"Ext. speaker" on the back of Link Box.
USB Hub
A USB hub is supplied with the system to provide additional USB
ports. Connect the USB Hub to one of the USB connectors at the
back of the PC. Attach the AC adapter to the USB Hub and to a
wall outlet (110 or 230-240V AC).
SpO2 Probe
The SpO
2
finger probe provides enhanced realism for the care
provider by simulating the use of an actual pulse oximetry probe.
When the probe cable is connected to the Link Box, SpO
2
will not
be displayed until the probe is placed on one of the manikin’s
fingers (means that “light” is blocked). If the probe is not attached
to the Link Box, SpO
2
will only be displayed automatically when
selected by the operator through the instructor panel on the PC.
Blood system
The blood system includes a blood bag with tubing that can be
connected to the veins and be altered by varying the elevation of
the blood bag.
