1.1 – 9.9 kPa; OFF
Note:
The alarm limits will be reset to default values after Radius PCG powers off.
If the high EtCO
2
limit is decreased close to the low EtCO
2
limit, the low limit will be automatically adjusted in order to
maintain a minimum difference of 10 mmHg (1.0 kPa) between the high and low alarm limit. Similarly, if the low
EtCO
2
limit is increased close to the high EtCO
2
limit, the high limit will be automatically adjusted to maintain a
minimum difference of 10 mmHg (1.0 kPa) between the high and low alarm limit.
