7. Fault Finding
All sounders can be silenced and messages cleared by pressing the MUTE button once. Should any fault occur, press
the MUTE button to reset the power unit. If fault remains/re-occurs, contact Direct Healthcare Group.
7.1 Warning Indicators
NO CANISTER
– indicates canister is missing or is not correctly fitted. The power unit will fail to operate whilst this
message is displayed. Check that canister is correctly located and secured, as detailed on page 5.
LOW BATTERY
(only appears during battery operation) – the power unit will continue to run whilst this warning
is displayed. Press the MUTE button to silence the sounder and clear the message. Note that the system will
automatically shut down when the battery is fully discharged. Plug into a power source to charge.
CANISTER FULL
– indicates that the canister has reached its capacity and should be changed. The power unit will
cease to run and the message/sounder will continue until the RUN/STOP button is pressed or the canister is removed,
both of which cancels the message and sounder and returns the power unit to stand-by mode. Change canister as
detailed on page 6.
NB. The ‘Canister Full’ sounder can be silenced by pressing the MUTE button, however if the canister is not removed/
changed the sounder will reoccur after 10 minutes.
LOW VACUUM / CHECK DRESSING (alternating messages)
– indicates vaccum pressure has fallen
below minimum allowable levels. Power unit will continue to run whilst these messages is displayed. Check that
wound dressing is completely sealed and that all tubing connections are secure. Press the MUTE button to silence the
sounder and clear the messages. If fault re-occurs, contact Direct Healthcare Group.
TUBE CONSTRICTION
– indicates that pump demand has abruptly ceased. Note that a certain level of flow in
the drain is required for the indicator to be active. The message will occur for example in the case of a blocked tube,
kinked tube or if the dressing is obstructed. Note that the tube constriction indicator can be selected on or off as
required (see ‘User Selectable Functions’ on page 8). Default is on.
TILT
– activates when the device is in active mode and is placed at an angle that could affect the canister full
indication. The sounder delays for 5 seconds, and is self-muting when the unit is returned to an upright position. Note
that the tilt indicator can be selected to be on or off as required (see ‘User Selectable Functions’ on page 8). Default
is on.
7.2 Fault Indicators
EMI FAULT
– indicates that the unit detects the pressure sensor amplifier is adversely affected by external RF fields.
The power unit will continue to run whilst this message is displayed. Press the MUTE button to silence the sounder.
This indicator will clear when interference ceases.
