TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 3-18
AMBIENT LIGHT INTERFERENCE — Cover sensor area
• The sensor is receiving external light interference from a bright light source near the sensor. Shield
the sensor from the external light source.
• The sensor photodiode and LED are misaligned on flexible sensors, allowing light to enter. Realign
the sensor photodiode with the LED.
• If the message persists, then replace the sensor.
NOISY SIGNAL
• The sensor signal is disturbed by motion or other interference. Eliminate sensor movement.
• Power cords or other electrically noisy devices are too close to the sensor. Move the noisy device
or move the sensor to another site.
• If the message persists, then replace the sensor.
FAULTY SENSOR — Replace sensor
• The LED or photodiode (or both) may have failed.
• Ensure the sensor is properly connected, disconnect and then reconnect the sensor.
• If the error occurs again, replace the sensor and/or sensor adapter cable.
• If replacing the sensor and/or cable does not correct the problem, contact your Spacelabs
Healthcare Field Service Engineer.
HARDWARE INCOMPATIBILITY — Contact service
The hardware configuration in your module is not compatible with the programmed software options.
• Contact your Spacelabs Healthcare Field Service Engineer.
