2.7 External Module
An external SmarTemp
TM
module or Infrared Ear Thermometer module can be extended on
the monitor. The two modules are mutually exclusive.
The SmarTemp
TM
module consists of an isolation power board, Temp measurement board,
and probes. The Temp measurement board collects Temp signals, processes algorithm and
sends measurement results to the main board.
The Infrared Ear Thermometer module consists of an isolation power board, an infrared ear
thermometer, and a communication cable. The infrared ear thermometer collects
information, and displays the measurement. The measurement can be transmitted to the
main board through the communication cable.
IR ear thermometers are capable of non-contact infra-red temperature measurement, and
determine body temperature of a subject via thermal radiation of the ear canal and/or
tympanic membrane.
