the ventilator back panel, is in the ON ( ) position.
2. For 120V applications, if a humidifier is attached to the ventilator,
ensure that the Humidifier AC Circuit Breaker (refer to Figure 5-1),
located on the ventilator back panel, is in the ON ( ) position. A
humidifier connection is only available on 100-120VAC ventilators.

Entering Diagnostic
Mode
The Diagnostic Mode is used for:
1. Running tests of the operation of the ventilator that can only be run
when a patient is not attached to the machine.
2. Setting altitude, time and date, and circuit compliance.
3. Other more detailed service/maintenance functions.
4. Calibration of inline Oxygen Sensor, during EST only.
Some of these functions are discussed in detail in Chapter 12, “Technical
Specifications”. The functions of the Diagnostic Mode that are used to make
the machine ready for use as a ventilator when it is first put into service are
explained here.
WARNING: The ventilator front panel LEDs will indicate the power source that is being
used. If the ventilator is plugged in and the MAINS LED is not lit, either the
circuit breaker is off or the wall power outlet is not functioning.
WARNING: The two circuit breakers (MAINS/Humidifier) located on the back of the
ventilator are covered to prevent unintentional ventilator power-off. Do not
use the circuit breaker to power the ventilator on/off. The power switch is
located on the front of the ventilator below the front panel.
NOTE: Unless the Mains Circuit Breaker is turned OFF, electrical power is
applied to the ventilator even though the front panel switch is in the
OFF position. With the Mains Circuit Breaker ON, if the backup battery
is connected, the ventilator will charge the battery if it requires a
charge.
NOTE: To disconnect the ventilator from MAINS power, remove the AC plug
from the wall power receptacle. The MAIN switch/circuit breaker is
covered to prevent unintentional ventilator turn off.
