2-7-3 Programming the Monitor’s Intervals and Conditions
2-7-3-1 TM-2420/TM-2421 Setup
With the monitor and the processor connected to the computer, you may setup or change the
following monitor condition and interval settings:
Item Definition
Recorder ID number Monitor (or patient) ID number (01 through 99). This is useful
when more than one monitor is used in the same clinical setting.
Time Sets monitor’s internal clock.
Date Sets monitor’s internal calendar.
Display On/Off Turns the monitor display on or off during automatic
measurement session. It may not be desirable for the patient to
see the measurement results. Some patients become nervous
when they see the measurement results. This may affect their
blood pressure readings.
Buzzer On/Off Sets whether or not the monitor will beep 10 seconds prior to the
start of a measurement.
PERIOD A 24-hour day may be broken up into 4 periods. For a more
detailed explanation, see monitor’s instruction manual.
START The Time of the first (1) period is the start and end time of the
monitoring session.
Note: When only the Time of the first (1) period is set, the
monitoring session is performed at the same interval for
24 hours.
The Time of the second (2) period, if set, is the start of the
second period and end of the first. The Time of the third (3)
period, if set, is the start of the third period and end of the
second. The Time of the fourth (4) period, if set, is the start of
the fourth period and end of the third.
Note: You do not need to program all periods.
INTERVAL The Interval is the number of minutes between each
measurement within the specific period.
The Setup sub-menu may be used to program the monitor’s intervals and conditions. The monitor is
programmed in 24-hour segments, with the End Time for the last Period defaulting to the Period One
(1) Time that is both the Start and End Time for the monitoring session. Please also note that the
Periods must be defined consecutively, i.e. set Period 1 then Period 2, then Period 3, not Period 1
then Period 3. To program the monitor, follow the steps below:
Note: The monitor, processor and cable must be connected to the computer correctly,
see “2-2 Communication Between the Monitor and the Software”.
Step 1 Select the Recorder menu.
Step 2 Select the Setup sub-menu. The Recorder Setup dialog box appears.
