•
Oxygen Sensor
displays the oxygen concentration measured by the
external oxygen sensor.
•
Bus Voltage
displays the measured voltage of the +29 V output (if AC
is connected) or the +24 V output from the Backup or External
Battery.
•
Blower Fan
displays the status of the thermal switch attached to the
blower housing, and is ON during normal operation. A switch status of
OFF indicates that the switch is malfunctioning or that the cooling fan
is malfunctioning and temperature has risen to 125ºC.
•
PCMCIA Card
displays dashes when a PCMCIA card is not installed. If
a PCMCIA card is installed, SDP will be displayed.
•
Enclosure Temp
displays the temperature inside the ventilator
enclosure measured by the temperature sensor on the sensor PCB. A
typical temperature range is approximately 35 to 50ºC.
•
Internal Oxygen
displays the oxygen concentration within the
enclosure in volts as measured by the oxygen sensor located on the
sensor PCB. Acceptable voltage is between 0.52 to 0.62 V.
•
Voltage Wrap
displays the ADC input voltage for comparison to the
voltage wrap DAC output voltage.

Troubleshooting
This section tells you how to perform component troubleshooting in case of a
failure during SST, EST, or performance verification. Perform these tests as
needed, rather than in consecutive order.
WARNING:
Troubleshooting suspends normal ventilation, and should never be performed
while a patient is connected to the ventilator.
Perform all troubleshooting from the hardware screen in diagnostic mode.
Follow these steps to view the hardware screen:
1. Simultaneously press the
Alarm Reset
and
100% O
2
keys on the
ventilator front for five seconds while turning ventilator power on.
2. When prompted, touch
OK
to enter diagnostics mode.
3. Perform EST and log the diagnostic codes, or create a diagnostic
report (DRPT) as appropriate.
NOTE: Always perform an EST and log diagnostic codes before
troubleshooting.
4. Touch the
Hardware
button to view the hardware screen.
NOTE:
These troubleshooting procedures assume that all hardware begins in an
initialized state (all adjustable parameters set to zero), including Blower
