6.3.1 Connecting local displays

WARNING To prevent liquids from entering the display casing, do not tilt the display
more than +/-15 degrees.
WARNING Using other displays than the patient monitor system specific ones may
result in loss of visual alarms and patient monitoring.
WARNING Do not connect a monochrome display to the monitor. Visual alarm
indicators may not appear properly.
NOTE: Refer to the patient monitor's supplemental information manual for a list of compatible
displays and display cables.
NOTE: If only one display is connected to the patient monitor, it must be connected to the DVI-I
1 connector. Additional displays can be connected to DVI-D 2 or DVI-I 3 connector. Cloned
displays can be connected only to DVI-I 1 and DVI-I 3 connectors using a video splitter.
NOTE: Ensure that you have the license for Dual Video / Triple Video, if applicable.
NOTE: Be sure that all cables are securely connected. To prevent accidental disconnection and
loss of display screen information, firmly tighten the DVI connector screws into the DVI
connector port.
NOTE: Refer to Configuration chapter for information about touchscreen calibration.
NOTE: Refer to the display's user manual for more information about the display adjustments
and other information about the displays.
NOTE: Proper function of serial or USB touchscreen displays is dependent on the usage of the
correct RS232 and USB ports on the patient monitor.
NOTE: A USB hub should not be used to connect the USB touchscreen to the patient monitor.
NOTE: All installations should be compliant with IEC 60601-1 and local electrical codes.
NOTE: The patient monitor with a non-medical grade display, which is IEC 60950-rated or
equivalent, meets UL and IEC specifications if a medical grade isolation transformer is used. If a
non-medical grade display is to be used, the configuration must meet the IEC 60601-1
standard. Refer to IEC 60601-1 for requirements if using non-medical grade displays in the
patient environment.
The primary display
The primary display can be either an analog or digital display. It can be either an USB or serial
touchscreen, or a non-touchscreen display.
You may optionally connect a cloned analog display to the DVI-I 1 port. Use a DVI-I to DVI-D
and VGA splitter to do so.
1. Connect one end of the video cable to the DVI-I 1 connector in the rear of the patient
monitor. Connect the other end of the video cable to the display.
2. If applicable, connect a USB or serial touchscreen cable to the USB 1 or RS-232 1
connector in the rear of the patient monitor. Connect the other end of the touchscreen
cable to the display.
