The Mindray Passport V has two different SP (Serial Port) ports. on the back. You can user either one, but we're going to set up SP2 in this example. See diagram below:

Connecting via wired connection

  1. Get necessary cable and adapter. You need a small "null modem" adapter like this (female / female version): https://amzn.to/3N9rfa1 AND a serial to USB cable like this: https://amzn.to/4efWDj0

  2. Connect the null modem adapter to the SP2 port, then connect the serial to USB cable to that. Make sure connections are snug. (continue to steps below bluetooth explanation)

Connecting via bluetooth adapter

  1. Order the bluetooth adapter you'll need by emailing us: [email protected]

  2. For this monitor no other adapters are required. Simply attach the bluetooth adapter using the screws on it, to port SP1 or SP2.

Updating monitor settings and connecting (apply to both bluetooth and wired connections):

  1. Now we need to turn on port you connected to above using the monitor settings. To do that we need to access the hidden "Installation Menu".

    1. Turn off the monitor.

    2. Push and keep holding down the "Discharge" button on the front of the monitor and turn the monitor back on (while still holding the discharge button).

    3. The "installation menu" should appear.

  2. On the installation menu find "Serial Port 2" or "Serial Port 1" depending on what you connected to above and set it to "DIAP"

  3. Next, select "Advanced Installation Setup" and set Baud Rate to "19200"

  4. Select "previous menu" at the top left.

  5. Select "Save Current" at the top left and confirm that you want to save.

  6. Now turn off the monitor and start it as you normally would. The monitor should now be ready to connect to Xchart. At this point you can follow the instructions from the last part of the Passport video we have on youtube: https://youtu.be/WXWdlAEpuEY?t=50

Here's what the installation menu looks like on the Passport V
