Power Loss Alarm
With the unit running, remove the line cord from power source. The power loss alarm
mode should sound the audible alarm IMMEDIATELY or within 30 seconds.
NOTE: With the unit unplugged and inoperable for a short period of time, the battery free circuit
will be drained. If power failure alarm does not sound with unit unplugged and power switch on,
the battery free circuit is drained. It will recharge when unit is plugged in and switched on.
Low Pressure Test
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 24.1 on page 87.
1. There are two separate failure modes for Low Pressure:
• Low product tank pressure. (Pressure in tank drops below a preset value, typically
48.26 kPa (7 p.s.i.).
• Failure to reach the set point pressure within a prescribed time limit, or Timeout
Failure.
Test One
1. With unit running, set flow at maximum rating.
2. When the main valve switches, pull the stem on the compressor relief valve out as far
as it will go and hold it.
3. The low pressure alarm should activate within 30 seconds. Refer to SensO2 Alarm
Threshold on page 89 for shutdown mode.
Test Two
