Connecting the CO
2
sensor
Before connecting any CO
2
hardware, make sure
the airway adapter in use matches the airway
adapter setting of the Cockpit. For example, do not
use a disposable airway adapter if the Cockpit is
configured for a reusable airway adapter (and vice
versa). Not aligning the adapter with the
configuration setting at the Cockpit compromises
the displayed CO
2
value.
The CO
2
cable connects directly to the M540.
