12. Alarms Fault Findings
The Tamora III Advance is equipped with audible and visual alarm indicators. These alert the user to
the status of the available mains supply and any mattress defect.
12.1 Low pressure alarm
Upon detection of low pressure, an audible alarm will be heard and the
Low Pressure
indicator will
illuminate. The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the
Alarm Mute
button.
The
Low
Pressure
indicator will continuously illuminate until the low pressure fault condition is resolved.
This condition could be caused, for example, by incorrect fitting of the air pipe connector, opening of
the CPR valve or a leak in the mattress due to a cut or puncture.
12.2 Power failure alarm
If at any time the mains power should be removed from the Pump or the power cable is unplugged
without turning the Pump OFF, an audible alarm will be heard and the
Power Failure
indicator will
illuminate. The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the
Alarm Mute
button.
Note: When the Pump has not been used for more than 3 months, it might require 6
hours operating time for the Alarm to function correctly.
12.3 Cycle Fault
Should your system develop a fault condition whilst in use, an audible alarm will be heard and the
Service
indicator will illuminate. The audible alarm may be cancelled by pressing the
Alarm Mute
button. Please refer to
Table 2
for error codes and call Ultimate Healthcare or your local service
provider.
12.4 Annual Service Indicator
A dedicated
Annual Service
indicator on the control panel will illuminate and stay ON to alert nursing
staff of the need for the system to be professionally serviced.
The
Annual Service
indicator will illuminate after 365 days of use and the indicator light can only be
extinguished by a professional service technician once the required service has been conducted.
