The ATMOS
®
C 31 is equipped with maintenance-free
pumps for suction and compressed air. Nevertheless, to
ensure correct functioning of the unit over a long period of
time simple maintenance work which can either be done
by the user himself, or, if desired, by service technicians,
is necessary from time to time.
•
To guarantee correct function of the automatic rinsing
and suction mechanism, switch off the ENT unit prior
to changing the secretion canister.
• There is a service compartment (lower part of the
function column) which contains the parts needed for
the maintenance procedures. The possible main-
tenance procedures are described in the following
chapters.
Maintenance, repairs and period tests may only be
carried out by persons who have the appropriate
technical knowledge and are familiar with the product.
To carry out these measures the person must have the
necessary test devices and original spare parts.
ATMOS recommends: work should be carried out by
an authorized ATMOS service partner. This ensures
that repairs and testing are carried out professionally,
original spare parts are used and warranty claims remain
unaffected.
At least every 24 months a repeat test of the electrical
safety should be performed according to IEC 62353.
ATMOS recommends an inspection according to the
manufacturer's specifi cations.
