Six M5 x 1.0 x 7mm deep female threaded bushes on the back of the control module may be
used for the attachment of brackets or for direct mounting.

The audible high pressure alarm is pneumatically powered by the gas relieved by the upper
pressure limiting system and warns that the limiting pressure has been reached.
26. Single
Gas Operations
A green visual indicator is provided to indicate that the unit is operating on one gas only
(oxygen or air). The green LED illuminates 3 times every 30 seconds whenever the
ventilator is operating on a single gas supply. If one of the gases fails the audible alarm will
also sound until muted (section 2 (c) item11).
(e) Mounting Options
The babyPAC ventilator has been designed to be mounted and carried with a wide range of options,
examples of which are shown in Fig. 2.
It may be mounted with its base or back on a flat surface. Alternatively it can be carried on the
shoulder by means of the carrying sling as shown in Fig. 2c.
For more permanent installations babyPAC ventilators can be fitted with a rail or pole mounting
bracket as shown in Fig 2 (d) and 2 (e). The brackets are attached to the back of the control
module by means of two M5 x 1.0 socket head fixing screws supplied with the bracket. The rail
bracket is of the universal type and attaches to 35/30 mm rails of either 6.5 or 10 mm thickness and
of the form shown in Fig 2 (d). A quick release clamp with a screw back-up is used.
The pole mounting bracket attaches to the module in the same way and accommodates vertical pole
diameters of 1/2 - 1" (12 - 26 mm). A screw with a T-handle is used for clamping.
The babyPAC ventilator can also be used mounted on transport incubators. Mounting kits are
available for certain widely used models. Contact Pneupac
