Warning: Earlier versions of the Selectatec Series Mounted Manifold which provide mounting
positions for three vaporizers require that if only two vaporizers are fitted then the centre position
must be occupied. If the centre position is not occupied the interlock which helps to ensure that only
one vaporizer at a time can be turned ON is ineffective.
Later versions of the Selectatec Series Mounted Manifold which provide mounting positions for three
vaporizers incorporate an additional interlock which helps to ensure that only one vaporizer at a time
can be turned ON even if the centre position is not occupied.

An anaesthesia system fitted with a
vaporizer identification unit uses this label
to identify the vaporizer type.
Do not affix any additional labels or
markings to the back panel, they may
adversely affect the operation of the
vaporizer identification unit.
