Using the Internal Compressor
The SimMan Essential manikin’s chest movement, airway modes and urine system is driven by compressed air. The right leg contains a
built in compressor, and a urine reservoir for simulated urine.
The manikin’s compressor is activated automatically when the air pressure in the tank falls below a preset pressure level. For extended
periods or stationary use, it is recommended to connect to an external source of compressed air. This reduces wear on the internal
compressor and extends battery life of the manikin.
For instructions on connecting an external compressor and adjusting compressor default settings see section – Connecting external

Supply.
TO AVOID OVERHEATING AND REDUCE WEAR
If using the manikin in temperatures above 40°C (104°F), always allow the manikin to cool down between training sessions.
If the manikin is placed in a bed, it should never be covered with a comforter, duvet, or quilt as these prevent heat transfer from the manikin.
Turning the Internal Compressor OFF
Switch OFF the internal compressor to conserve the manikin batteries
and reduce wear.
Turn OFF the internal compressor from the Instructor Application:
1 Select the <Tools> menu.
2 From <Manikin Setup>, click the Turn off internal compressor.
CHANGING DEFAULT COMPRESSOR SETTINGS
Change default compressor settings via the Profile Editor.
1 Open the Profile Editor from the <Tools> menu in Instructor Application.
2 Select the <General> tab in the Profile Editor.
3 From the compressor setup option, choose the Internal or External compressor as default.
