User's Manual

Cleveland Medical Devices Inc. RatPaak™ User’s Guide

The RatPaak™ system consists of a transmitter and receiver operating in the ISM frequency band (902 to

928 MHz). This device has been type certified by the FCC and therefore the user does not need a license.

There are 256 possible frequency settings or channels selected by the manufacturer. The RatPaak™ default

is channel 148 or a frequency of 916.5312 MHz. The Receiver has a 110 kHz bandwidth.

Warning: Other equipment may interfere with the RatPaak™, even if that other equipment complies

with emission requirements.

Inserting or Replacing the Batteries

The batteries need to be put in the first time you use your RatPaak™ Insert each #675 battery into one of

the three battery compartments of the battery holder; making sure that the positive (+) side is facing

upwards.

Warning: It is important that the batteries are installed with the proper polarity.

Warning: The isolation and safety of the patient is assured by battery operation. The powering of the

Transmitter by any other means is NOT RECOMMENDED.

Harness

A harness is provided with the RatPaak™ as a

means to secure the RatPaak™ and batteries to the

subject. The harness has two fitted pockets. The

batteries should be stored in one pouch of the vest

and the battery holder in the other pouch.

Wires

The RatPaak™ has multi-colored wires

protruding from the transmitter. Two of these

wires, the black and red wires, are attached to

both of the RatPaak™ and the battery. These

wires should be routed over the subject’s back as

the devices are being placed in the pockets of the

harness. The blue wire serves as the antenna, which will transfer the signal from the RatPaak™ to the

Receiver. It should be tucked under the harness in a manner that will prevent damage to the wire from the

subject. It is important that the blue wire be kept straight so that it can transfer the signal. The remaining

wires should be connected to the subject to produce the two output Channels. Each Channel has two

inputs, a positive input and a negative input. In Channel 1, orange is the positive input and orange with a

white tracer is the negative input. In Channel 2, violet is the positive input and violet with a white tracer is

the negative input. Brown should be connected to a ground..
