Connect the pump to the mains power supply using the supplied cable.
Set the
Run/Standby
switch (on the side of the pump) to the Run (
|
) position.
The
Run/Standby
indicator is illuminated when the pump is running.
In the event of mains failure, the
Power Fail
alarm indicator will start flashing and an audible alarm will sound.
The pitch of the alarm will increase in time. If the power supply is returned the audible alarm will stop, but the
alarm light will remain illuminated until the system is reset using the
Run/Standby
switch.
The
Low Pressure
indicator will flash whenever the pump detects low pressure in the cushion. An audible
alarm will sound. The pitch of the alarm will increase at 60 second intervals.
The indicator will extinguish once normal pressure is reached. Check the tubeset is connected properly.
Comfort Control -
The seat cushion cell pressure can be manually adjusted for patient comfort using the
Pressure Control.
Note:
An internal battery will power an audible and visual alarm if the power supply is interrupted prior to
switching off. For example, if the mains lead is removed before switching to Standby mode.
The pump alarm can be reset by switching the pump to Standby and back to Run again using the
Run/
Standby
switch on the side panel.
