System Components
Note Only delayed recordings can be generated from a telemetry transmitter, provided that it is
properly configured and turned on. Pressing the Patient Button on the telemetry transmitter
initiates the recording.
Characteristics of these recording types are as follows:
Real-time Recordings are recordings of waveforms that begin at the time they are requested.
The recording is continuous and must be stopped manually.
Delayed Recordings are recordings of waveforms that include a period before the recording
is initiated. For a real-time waveform being displayed on the monitor, the recording can be set
to start from an earlier time. It will then run for a set time, but it can be made continuous
using the Run/Cont key on the Recorder Module. Factory defaults are 10 seconds of pre-
initiation waveform and 2 seconds of real-time waveform. These time periods and the
recording speed can also be configured on a unit wide basis in the Recording option of the
Output Unit Settings menu of the Unit Settings (Password) window.
Delayed recordings are automatically initiated for an alarm event and can be manually
initiated on request by the user. Waveforms for red alarms are automatically recorded. The
system can also be configured to automatically record for yellow alarms for a unit (Release
A.1 and later) or an individual patient.
Stored Recordings are recordings of waveforms that have been stored in patient Alarm
Review files. They can be recorded from the Alarm Review application, and recording time
and speed can be configured for the unit. Stored Recordings cannot be made continuous, but
can be stopped before completion using the STOP key on the Recorder Module.

Recorder Rack The M1276A #201 Recorder Rack is designed specifically for the Information Center
system. It holds up to three model M1116B Philips Recorders, but cannot be daisy chained for
additional Recorder capability.
Caution DO NOT use any other Philips parameter modules in the same rack as an M1116B
Recorder. An M1116A Recorder in the same rack can damage the M1116B Recorder.
The Recorder Rack receives its +60VDC input power from a separate 60VDC Power Supply.
Data signals are supplied via the same cable from the processing unit for synchronization and
data print outs. See Figure 2-15.
