7. THE SECA 360° WIRELESS NETWORK

7.1

Introduction

This device is equipped with a wireless module. The wireless module allows measured results to be transmitted wirelessly for analysis and documentation. Data can be transmitted to the following devices:

• seca wireless printer

• PC with seca USB wireless adapter

seca wireless groups

The seca 360° wireless

network operates with wireless groups. A wireless group is a virtual group of transmitters and receivers. If you wish to operate several transmitters and receivers of the same type, up to 3 wireless groups (0, 1, 2) can be set up.

66 •

English

Setting up several wireless groups ensures the reliable transmission of measured values with the correct address when using more than one examination room each with similar equipment.

The maximum distance between transmitters and receivers is approx. 10 metres. This range may be reduced under certain local conditions, e.g. thickness and type of wall partitions.

The following combination of devices is possible for each wireless group:

• 1 baby scale

• 1 personal scale

• 1 length measuring rod

• 1 seca wireless printer

• 1 PC with seca USB wireless adapter

C1

C2

C3

Channels

Within each wireless group, the devices communicate with each other via three channels (C1, C2, C3). This ensures reliable, troublefree data transmission.

When you set up a wireless group with this scale, the device will suggest three channels guaranteeing optimum data transmission. We recommend accepting the channel numbers suggested.

You can also select the channel numbers (0 to 99) manually - for example if you want to set up more than one wireless group.

The channels must be sufficiently far apart to ensure trouble-free data transmission. We recommend a spacing of at least 30 between channel numbers. Each channel number may only be used for one channel.

Example configuration: channel numbers when setting up 3 wireless groups within one surgery:

• wireless group 0: C1=_0, C2=30, C3=60

• wireless group 1: C1=10, C2=40, C3=70

• wireless group 2: C1=20, C2=50, C3=80

The seca 360° wireless network • 67

Detecting devices

If you wish to set up a wireless group with the scale, it will search for other active devices from the seca 360° wireless

system. The devices detected are shown as modules in the display on the scale (e.g. “MO 3”). The meaning of the numbers is as follows:

• 1: personal scale

• 2: length measuring rod

• 3: wireless printer

• 4: PC with seca USB wireless adapter

• 7: baby scale

• 5, 6 and 8-12: reserved for system expansion
