
Apnea Delay
Set apnea delay time to trigger the monitor‘s alarm in case the animal‘s asphyxia time exceeds the preset
values.

BTPS Compen
The Main-Stream CO
2
sensors are built with heating elements to prevent water from condensing, thus, it is
unnecessary to set temperature compensation when the Main-Stream module is in use. While for Side-Stream
modules, whether or not to start or stop temperature compensation should be judged by actual conditions.

Gas Compen
Warning

Please set each compensation to meet different actual conditions, otherwise, the measured results
may deviated greatly and result in misdiagnosis.
By taking KM7002-V33 Kingst side-stream module as example:

[O
2
Compen]

[N
2
O Compen]

[Des Compen]

Operate Mode
Select [Operate Mode]: Measure and Standby. In the standby mode, the sampling pump is automatically
closed and the measure mode is automatically open, but users can manually close the pump in this mode and
resetting the pump speed will forcibly open the closed pump.
The Standby modes of the CO
2
module and the monitor are correlated.

The CO
2
module enters the Standby model when the monitor enters this mode.

The CO
2
module exits the Standby model when the monitor exits this mode.

The monitor is not affected when the CO
2
module enters or exits the Standby mode.

Flow Rate
The sampling rate of the respiratory gases through the animal‘s loop can be altered by setting different pump
speeds for the Side-Stream CO
2
module.
Select [Flow Rate]: 50 ml/min, 100 ml/min and 150 ml/min.
Warning

The animal
’s capacity should be taken into account to select the pump speed suitable for the animal
while setting the flow rate.

Wave Fill
Select [Wave Fill]: Off or On. Set the areas below the CO
2
waveforms to be displayed filled or not.

Scale
Tune the scale on the waveforms, and the wave amplitudes will change.
