deficiency signal / nitrous oxide block:
Basic Setting:
Unit in operation mode
Anesthesia aspirator device connected
All dosage valve spindles opened to 3 litres per minute
AIR / N

O Mode Switch in N
2
O position
Conducting test:
Remove angle plug for O
2
from circuit
The oxygen flow must continuously decrease
At apprix. 2.0 to 1.5 bar circuit pressure the
O
2
deficiency signal
is activated
When pressure further decreases to approx. 1 bar, the
nitrous oxide block
is activated
and the N
2
O flow sinks parallel to the oxygen flow, until for a fully empty system both
volumen flows fall to zero.
By re-connecting the O
2
angle plug, the oxygen supply is re-established.
Interruption of the N
2
O feed line. The N
2
O flow sinks to zero.
Danger
In the event of deviations of the description above, please inform customer
