The network topology is shown in Fig.1, on page 4. The Host P.C. screen running AIMS will display every medical device as a “button”, which will be “green”, if the alarm is normal and “red” if the medical device has gone into an alarm condition. In the event all medical devices are “normal” with no fault conditions, all the “buttons” will be green indicating a normal condition. In this mode, every medical device will be displayed on the bottom part of the screen in turn, as it is scanned depending on the scan speed selected. When all the alarms have been scanned and displayed, the cycle will be repeated again. If the buttons are “white” in color it indicates an existing medical device with no power supplied or the communication link is broken.

In the event an alarm occurs in the hospital, the scanning of all medical devices stops, and the medical device, which is in alarm condition is displayed continuously. In the event other medical devices on the network go into an alarm condition, the scanning of all medical devices which are in the alarm condition (red) begins and continues until all the faults have been cleared. Once all the medical devices have cleared and all the buttons are “green”, the normal scanning and

This figure shows a typical installation of an AIMS System. Medical Gas Devices are connected to the polling network which terminates at a Host P.C. The P.C. can be installed anywhere in the hospital provided that the maximum length of the cable run on the polling network is 5,000 ft and #18 to #22 gauge. The P.C. can be accessed remotely during unattended operations using standard software not supplied by Amico (i.e. PC Anywhere).

INSTALLATION

Medical Gas Alarms

The AIMS System will operate with the Amico ALERT-2 microprocessor based Medical Gas Alarm. For installation of the Medical Alarm please refer to Amico’s “Operation & Maintenance Manual” for the ALERT-2.

Network Interface Module

Each Medical Gas Alarm (Master or Area) requires one Network Interface Module (NIM) to be installed within the local alarm box to allow that alarm to be placed on the Network. Please ensure the Medical Gas Alarm is turned OFF during the installation of the Network Interface Module.

This module has exactly the same dimensions as any Alarm Module and hence it can be mounted on the frame of the Medical Gas Alarm. If the frame is fully populated with Alarm Modules, the NIM card can be mounted on the 4 standoffs in the alarm box as shown in Fig. 2.

Once the NIM card is in place, the ribbon cable must be inserted into the connector in order to power the module. This might require the entire ribbon cable connecting all the modules, to be replaced with a longer one, if the existing ribbon cable will not reach.

Connecting Area NIM:

Each Area display module must be connected to the Area NIM card so that the information for that gas can be transmitted to the Host P.C. This is accomplished by connecting one wire from the “SLAVE” (-) terminal strip on the display module to the “LOCAL” terminal strip on the NIM module. The first display module (near the annunciator module) should be connected to position 1 on the “LOCAL” terminal strip of the NIM module, the second to position 2 and so on until all the display modules have been connected to the NIM module. Use #22 to #24 gauge hook-up wire (not supplied). Please refer to APPENDIX - A (page 14).

For proper communication between the display module(Area Board) and the NIM, dip switch SW 10 on S3 of all display modules has to be set to the “ON” position.

Connecting Master NIM:

Each Master module must be connected to the Master NIM card so that the information for that module can be transmitted to the host P.C. This is accomplished by connecting a cable from the 24 pin-female socket connector on the master module to the 24 pin-male socket connector on the Master NIM. The first Master module (near the annunciator module) should be connected to “Master 1” on the NIM module. The second Master module should be connected to “Master 2” on the NIM module and so on until all Master modules have been connected to the Master NIM module. Please refer to APPENDIX -B (page 15).

Each NIM (Area and Master) module must have a unique address as set on the dip switches # S1. The sequence on the network of these addresses are not important. The eight position NIM dip switch settings (S1) are to be set from 1 to the maximum number of alarms on the network and the setup screen on the AIMS Software should then be matched with the appropriate number. Refer to APPENDIX - D (page 17) for dip switch settings. It is very important that each NIM module has an unique address. Having two or more NIM modules with the same address will give unpredictable results.

Connecting NIM Modules:

To connect the NIM module to the polling network, the network wire coming into the Alarm must be terminated on the “NETWORK” terminal strip. The incoming wire should be connected to “OUT+” and “OUT-”. The outgoing wire should be connected to “IN+” and “IN-”. The “Network” connection “In” or “Out” is irrelevant, as long as the + and - are matched. Use #18 to #22 gauge twisted pair cable. The four position dip switches (S2*) should be set as shown. Set all switches to “off” except the last NIM Module on the Network, which should be set to “on, on, off, off”. The Alarm is now connected to the network.

Host P.C.

The NBS-42 card must be connected with a 9-socket male connector, provided with the AIMS system. The cable supplied has a length of 5 feet, stripped one inch, exposing the black (-) and red (+) wires. Connect this wire to the first alarm in the AIMS Network terminal marked “OUT+” and “OUT-”.

Connect the Network cable to the back of the P.C. If the P.C. is not supplied by Amico, see APPENDIX - E (page 18) for instructions on how to install the Network Interface into the customer supplied P.C. The AIMS software runs as an independent application on the P.C. running under the Windows 98, 2000 and XP operating systems. To install AIMS on the Host P.C. Insert the AIMS CD disk provided by Amico into the CD drive follow the procedures on the screen:

Detecting and Verifying Alarms

1 Select the “Options” command at the top of the screen.

2 Click “Setup” and a dialog window will appear. 3 Move mouse pointer to the “Primary ISA Card based”

symbol and right click.

4. Ensure that ALL active medical devices are powered ON. Click on “Enumerate”.

The AIMS system will automatically poll the network and locate the active alarms. Properly connected medical devices will show up as “green” buttons on the screen.

PC Installation

Hardware Platform

The following is the recommended hardware for optimum program operation. Though the program will function adequately on lower performance machines, the initialization of the Alarms and the Redraw time becomes annoying to the average user.

- Pentium 500 MHZ or better - 128 Mb of RAM

- 40 Gb Hard drive or better

- 17” SVGA monitor or better (19” recommended) - Windows 98, NT, 2000 or XP

Installation of Host PC

1. Turn the power off on the computer.

2. Remove all cords from the back of the computer tower. ( Please make a note of thecables you remove, after installation of the NBS-42 card you will have to re-connect them.)

3. Remove the computer tower cover, to gain access to the motherboard.

4. Check the computer mother board for an open PCI computer slot and insert the card.

5. Once the NBS-42 card has been installed, fasten the screw on the metal side of the card. This will ground the card and keep it from moving.

(21)

6. Re-attach the computer cover and cables.

7. Attach the cable from the Polling Network into the D9-female connector located on rear of card.

“OUT+” (Red)

Installation of the Device Driver

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CORRECTLY INSTALLED YOUR NBS-42 CARD BEFORE CONTINUING.

Power on the computer and insert the A.I.M.S. software and Driver CD.

1. The computer will have two windows being displayed on your computer. The computer will detect the new hardware automatically. The second window will be the computer asking for a unique name for the NBSX-1 card, change it to NBSX-1 then click ok.

2. The computer will then ask you “would you like the wizard to search for the drivers” | click next.

3. The computer will ask you “what would you like windows to do” | click where it reads a display list of the drivers in a specific location. Then | click next.

4. Check the box for | CD and then click | Next.

5. After installing the card, the computer will request that you restart the computer.

6. Once the computer has been re-started, the CD will automatically run the software installation setup program. Simply follow the instructions on the screen.

8. An error message may pop up click ok, and then ok again. Click on |option|, then |setup|.
