Appendix B: Data Port Protocol
If battery power is disconnected or depleted, trend data and user
settings will be lost. All data is stored with error detection
coding. If data stored in memory is found to be corrupted, it is
discarded.
NURSE CALL
The NPB-290 provides two different types of nurse call
interfaces; an RS-232 level and relay closure. The RS-232 level
nurse call function only operates when the monitor is connected
to AC power. It will not operate when running on battery. The
relay-based nurse call function is available when the monitor is
operating either on AC power or when powered by battery.
The remote location is signaled anytime there is an audible alarm.
If the audible alarm has been turned off, or silenced, the nurse call
function is also turned off.
Pin 11 on the data port is the RS-232 level nurse call signal and
pin 5 is ground (see Table B1). When there is no alarm
condition, the voltage between pins 10 and 11 is -5 to -12 VDC.
Whenever the monitor is in an alarm condition, the output
between pins 10 and 11 is +5 to +12 VDC.
Pins 7 and 15 provide a relay that closes when an alarm is
sounding on the monitor. Pins 8 and 15 provide a relay that
opens when an alarm is sounding. Pin 15 is a common lead for
both relays.
ANALOG OUTPUTS
The NPB-290 data port also provides analog voltage outputs
between pins 6, 13, 14, and ground (pin 10). The voltage
represents a specific measured parameter’s current value. The
voltage differential varies proportionally from 0 to 1 volt as the
pin’s parameter varies over its full range of values, as indicated in
Table 4.
