180 Electrical Circuit Overpressure Test
(Use apparatus shown in Figure 7.3)
a. Make sure that there is nothing connected to the cuff connector.
b. Press the START/STOP switch to start the test
c. The unit will begin to pump air out of the cuff connector.
d. Use a finger to completely cover the cuff connector opening, then release. This will reset all
displayed values to zero.
e. Connect a hand pump and a calibrated manometer to the cuff connector.
f.
Increase pressure in the circuit.
g. Acceptable limit: 350-390 mmHg.
NOTE
: Monitor will automatically deflate at electrical circuit Overpressure point.
180 Mechanical Switch Overpressure Test
(Use apparatus shown in Figure 7.3)
In this test, the user can verify the limit of the mechanical switch Overpressure point. Place the unit in the
Calibration Mode and complete the following:
a. Place the RS232 test connector on the RS232 port and increase the circuit pressure.
b. Make sure that there is nothing connected to the cuff connector.
c. Press the START/STOP switch to start the test.
d. The unit will begin to pump air out of the cuff connector.
e. Use a finger to completely cover the cuff connector opening, then release. This will reset all
displayed values to zero.
f.
Connect a hand pump and a calibrated manometer to the cuff connector.
g. Increase pressure to the circuit.
h. Acceptable limit: 370-410 mmHg
NOTE
: Monitor will automatically deflate at mechanical switch Overpressure point and turn power off.
