Connecting the Ventilator to an External DC Power Source
Warning
Connect the external DC power source by first connecting the power cable to the ventilator and
then to the external DC source. Follow the reverse procedure to disconnect the device from the
external DC power source.
Note:
An alternative means of ventilation should always be available, particularly when the patient is in transit or
away from wall power.
While using the ventilator on external battery power it is vital that a qualified caregiver (capable of
providing necessary corrective actions in the event of alarm conditions) is present.
When AC power is not available use an external DC power prior to using internal battery power.
Note:
Whenever AC power is unavailable, the ventilator can operate from a continuously powered external 12 –
30 VDC power source via a DC power cable (
Figure 4-5
, item 1) that connects to the ventilator’s rear panel
DC power input connector (
Figure 4-5
, item 2). The DC power cable is optional; refer to
Appendix F,
“Parts and Accessories”
, for more information. It is possible to use the DC auxiliary port (cigarette lighter)
in a car as a power source as well.
