O. Wind R99 on the BAV board fully clockwise.
Adjust R98 on the BAV board until pressure limiting is observed. This can be checked by
observing that the can of Q1 goes high to low each time the limit is reached.
Once triggering has been achieved, decrease delivered volume to reduce the peak pressure to
find the exact trigger point. The trigger point should be such that it will not have any effect on
the ventilator functions. It should be set to greater than 80cmH
