Blower fan failure.
The thermal switch attached to the
blower housing measures 125 ºC or
there is an open circuit to the sensor
PCB.
1. Check that cooling coil fan is
working.
2. Check the J3/J4 connections on the
sensor PCB.
3. Check for open between thermal
switch contacts when temperature is
>125 ºF.
4. Replace sensor PCB.
5xxx: Status/Misc. Codes
5000
Occlusion: safety valve open alarm.
A pressure difference between
inspiratory and expiratory limbs of
the circuit was detected.
See “Diagnostic Code 5000
Troubleshooting” on page 6-27.
5001
Gas supplies lost: safety valve open
alarm.
No air flow from the blower
detected, and the oxygen source is
either disconnected or not detected
by the oxygen pressure switch (PS1).
1. Check blower operation in normal
and diagnostic modes (Chapter 5).
2. Check PS1 (Chapter 5).
3. Replace the sensor PCB.
4. Replace the CPU PCB.
5002
Backup battery not connected.
Backup battery was not detected
during power up (POST).
1. If backup battery was not connected
during power up, disregard 5002.
2. Verify the backup battery is properly

alarm
1. Perform High Internal Oxygen Alarm
test (Chapter 5).
2. With unit open, connect a high
pressure oxygen source to the unit
(power off). Listen for any pneumatic
leaks. Repair as required.
3. Power on unit and confirm both
cooling fans are operational.
4. With unit closed, operate in normal
mode (use default settings, except
set oxygen at 100%) for 20 minutes
on a test lung.
5. Replace sensor PCB.
5004
Exhalation flow sensor thermistor
temperature outside range.
1. Perform the Air Flow Accuracy test.
2. Verify cooling fans are functioning
and are both installed in the proper
orientation.
3. Replace exhalation flow sensor.
