Alarms and Error Displays
A.
Power Failure Alarm
1.
If power is removed from the unit without actuating the power switch
(I/O switch) a power fail alarm is activated and the LED located on the

If the Power Failure alarm occurs, turn the power switch off and
unplug the unit if it is not already unplugged. Then, plug the unit into
the power source and turn the power switch “ON”. If the Power Fail
LED flashes and the audible alarm continues to sound, remove the
unit from service and send to Biomedical Engineering for repair.
B.
Low Water Alarm
1.
If at anytime, the water in the reservoir falls below 3 ½ quarts (3.3
liters) a low water level alarm will activate, the LO WATER LED located
on the membrane control panel will flash and the unit will shut down.
2.
To clear the low water alarm, replenish the reservoir with distilled
water as described in Section 5-1.5.
C.
Primary High Temperature Safety Alarm
1.
If the circulating water reaches 43.5°C
0.6°C, the primary high
temperature safety will activate to turn off pump, turn off heater, the HI
TEMP LED flashes and the trouble alarm sounds.
2.
If the primary high temperature alarm occurs, the unit should be
powered off and the power cord removed from the outlet. The unit
should be immediately removed from service and sent to Biomedical
Engineering for repair.
D.
Secondary High Temperature Safety Alarm
1.
If the circulating water reaches 44.5°C ± 0.6°C, the secondary high
temperature safety will activate to turn off pump, turn off heater, the HI
TEMP LED illuminates and the trouble alarm sounds.
