A.T.S. 3000 AUTOMATIC TOURNIQUET SYSTEM
27
NOTE:
During the 10 seconds, the alarm message will be
displayed, the alarm will continue to sound and the ALARM
SILENCE button will not silence the alarm.
Once the unit is set to STANDBY, wait for approximately
10 minutes and turn the unit back on. Operation will resume
under cuff inflated start-up conditions (See Section 2.7 Part
1 for explanation). Cancel the alarm using the ALARM
SILENCE button. Display the set point by activating the
PRESSURE button and view the current (new) pressure set
point. The set point is always displayed with an asterisk in
the far left position. The current set point for the cuff should
be at least 400 mmHg or more. Values less than this indicate
an unacceptable leak rate and the source of the leak should
be traced and corrected. The first connection to check should
be the connections of the cuff. Different cuffs and/or cuff
hoses may be tried to determine if the leak is internal or
external of the unit.
Repeat the test for the Second cuff ports.
3.7 BATTERY VOLTAGE AND BATTERY SERVICE
NOTE:
This section assumes that the unit has been
charged for at least 24 hours. The unit’s bottom battery
compartment must be removed to measure battery voltage.
See Section 3.2 “Access to Parts” and be sure to follow
cautionary statements.
1. Battery
Voltage
Check
Be sure the unit is unplugged. Measure the battery
voltage. The battery voltage should not be lower
than 12 volts while the unit is unplugged and set to
STANDBY. If, after 1 minute, the voltage reads less than
12 volts, the integrity of the battery should be suspect
and should be replaced.
2. Battery Service
The 12-volt sealed lead acid battery is charged using
lead acid charging technology. The charging circuit is
active anytime the unit is plugged into an acceptable
AC Mains outlet. The charger automatically sequences
through several charge states based on the battery
voltage and charging current conditions. Based on
a charger test, the best charge mode is selected. No
maintenance is required of the battery charging circuit.
The life of the battery depends on the type of service
and the storage method. Battery replacement will
need to be more frequent with continued cycles of
deep discharge and/or storage in a high temperature
environment. Infrequent short-term use of the battery
and storage in a room temperature environment will
result in maximum life. It is recommended that the
battery in the
A.T.S.
3000 Tourniquet System be replaced
annually. As a reminder, the
A.T.S.
3000 System should
be plugged in 24 hours before initial use.
NOTICE – BATTERY DISPOSAL
THE BATTERY IS OF A LEAD ACID TYPE.
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED
OF PROPERLY.
3.8 FUSE AND FUSE DRAWER REPLACEMENT
Depending on region, A.T.S. systems are factory
installed with two fuses in one of these types:
1A, 250V Time Delay Fuse ¼ inch x 1 ¼ inch
1A, 250V Time Delay Fuse 5 x 20 mm
NOTE: When using the ¼ inch x 1 ¼ inch fuses, the
GRAY fuse drawer must be used and the BLACK fuse
drawer will not be needed. When using the 5 x 20 mm
fuses, the BLACK fuse drawer must be used and the
GRAY fuse drawer will not be needed.
Fuse Drawer (removed from device)
To remove and install a fuse drawer:
1.
Locate the power entry module at the rear of the
device where the power cord attaches.
2.
If still attached, remove the power cord to ensure no
power is being supplied to the device.
3.
Using a tool such as a slotted small screwdriver,
gently pry the holding clip of the fuse drawer to
release the latch. The fuse drawer and fuses will
release and can be removed.
4.
Install the proper fuses in the appropriate fuse
drawer – the ¼ inch x 1 ¼ inch fuses fit the GRAY
fuse drawer; the 5 x 20 mm fuses fit the BLACK
fuse drawer.
