4.2.2 Display and operating panel
Display and operating panel
1. Battery operation (battery operation indicator): Illuminated during battery mode.
2. Alarm: Illuminated when there is a message which has not been acknowledged via the
monitoring program.
3. Acknowledge Alarm: Button for acknowledging a message. The acoustic signal stops. The
message remains visible.
4. Counter showing number of operating hours: Number of operating hours elapsed. Flashes
when maintenance is required (after 2,000 operating hours).
Battery charge indicator: Depending on the integrated controller model, 7 or 8 yellow
LEDs show the charge level of the batteries (see below). A red LED shows when the
batteries are completely discharged!

1. Indicator lamp: “Battery mode”
2. Visual signal display “Alarm”
3. Button: “Acknowledge alarm”
4. Battery charge indicator (above),

operating hours (below)
1) Battery charge indicator with 7 yellow LEDs, red LED on the left next to the yellow LEDs
2) Battery charge status indicator with 8 yellow LEDs, red LED above the yellow LEDs
The LEDs of the running time display correspond to the maximum possible battery
running time. However, the maximum permitted off-mains operating time is
30 minutes. After 30 minutes of battery operation, a warning message “You must
operate the device on mains power” is displayed. Immediately switch the Ikus over to
mains power operation. Failure to do so may result in damage to the battery system.
Mains power supply with integrated charging unit function (mains power operation)
By default, the Ikus is operated via the mains power supply. During mains power
operation, the batteries which have been completely or partially discharged are
recharged.
During the charging process, the charging status indicator does NOT show the current
charge level. The charging status indicator shows the charge level only when the
batteries have been fully recharged. All of the yellow LEDs light up.
Battery mode
The Ikus contains a battery unit (two batteries with 12 V each) which can supply the
system with power independently for a maximum of 50 minutes. As long as the Ikus is
in battery mode, an acoustic signal sounds once every 10 minutes. If the batteries reach
a low charge level, the acoustic signal sounds once every minute.
Warning!
• The Ikus is designed for stationary operation and supply via the mains power network.
Only use battery mode when it is absolutely necessary (for example, when transporting
the patient). Important: to prevent the batteries from wearing out quickly, every period
of operation in battery mode should be followed by at least 6 hours of mains power
operation. Failure to do this will severely reduce the capacity of the batteries and will
