9. Troubleshooting
The
Flowtron Universal
pump features an audible and visual alarm. If a problem
occurs, the system will sense the fault and briefly flash a message on the display.
If the same fault continues for 10 successive inflations (up to 10 minutes), the audible
alarm will sound, the red alarm lights flash and a message will appear on the display
until corrective action is completed. (The exception to this is an “F” fault, which will
alarm immediately.)
Alarm Cancel:
After a fault has been corrected, the alarm can be cancelled by two methods:
Press the RUN button twice, or until the green power indicators are lit and the
pump is running.

Refer to “Battery Operation” on page 12 when operating the pump under
battery power.
With the exception of a pump failure (
F
), correct the fault and allow the pump to run
until it senses a normal inflation; it will then reset itself.
Recommended Checks:
To confirm that the fault has corrected, watch the display for approximately one
minute. If the fault has not been corrected, a fault message will flash during that time.
In addition, the pump will refuse to start if it does not recognize the attached garment.

If the trouble shooting procedures do not return the system to normal
performance, stop using the system immediately and call the service engineer.
