Standby Clip Guide

WARNING – When attached to a Ventis® Pro, the Standby Clip™ will place man down or selected instrument alarm events on standby. The instrument will NOT alert the operator to hazards associated with these events when the Standby Clip is in use.

The Standby Clip (part number 17159316) is an iAssign® accessory that snaps over the front of a Ventis Pro instrument.
The clip uses NFC (Near Field Communication) to place on standby man down or selected instrument alarm events. When the clip is detached from the instrument, any alarms that had been on standby are generally re-enabled within 5 seconds.
Safety specialists should review the instrument settings below and select which alarm events to place on standby. When set up as described below and the Standby Clip is attached, the audible, vibration, and visual signals for the selected alarm events will be
placed on standby. Additionally, corresponding standby symbols for the selected alarm events will be displayed on the Ventis Pro’s screen to indicate which events are on standby when the clip is attached.
