Controlling the TV with mechanical switches
Pin 4 (common) is momentarily connected to
pin 1, 3, or 6 via push-action switches to control
On/Off and Channel Up/Down. These pins are
at +13 volts DC (when measured from pin 4)
with the switches open. Current draw is 8 mA
when a switch is closed. (This operation using
the 5-Wire Interface except that only +7 volts
DC was supplied and current draw was only 2.5
mA).

Pillow speaker not included with
HealtView TV.
Use a pillow speaker by Curbell, Model A-16455-
02 or other UL recognized pendant control
bearing the warning:
“Risk of fire if used in oxygen enriched
atmosphere. Keep pendant control away from
oxygen equipment.”
Controlling the TV with Serial Data
The TV is capable of being controlled by a single-
wire, serial data signal. This is a Zenith patented
technology and is being implemented by certain
brands of “smart” pillow speakers, such as
Curbell’s “GEN-II” models.
Pillow Speaker Interface
This connector furnishes three control lines and
an audio output. A patient-pendant remote
control, or entertainment audio and nurse call
system may be connected here. All lines are
isolated from the AC power line and earth ground.
(Opto-isolators isolate the control lines, and a
transformer isolates the audio. There are no
relays or inductive components in the control
lines).
