3.1.1 Gas inlet
O2 gas supply is connected to the system’s O2 inlet

nipple. The design of the O2 gas inlet nipple varies
according to the standard chosen.
O2 gas is to be connected from hospital central gas

mounted in the Patient unit.
3.1.4 Supply pressure transducer
3.1.9 ID PROM
The pressure of the supplied O2 gas is measured by
the Supply pressure transducer. The O2 gas module is provided with an ID-PROM. The
ID information can be read by the system.
The output signal from this transducer is amplified. It
is then used to calculate the absolute pressure of the
O2 gas to compensate for gas density variations due
to pressure.
3.1.5 Flow transducer
The O2 gas flows through a wire mesh (resistance)

which causes a pressure drop. The pressure is
measured on both sides of this net and the differential
pressure value is then amplified.
3.1.6 Nozzle unit
The plastic Nozzle unit contains a valve diaphragm.

The valve diaphragm, controlled by the Inspiratory
solenoid, regulates the gas flow through the O2 gas
module.

Calibration
CALIBRATION is used for calibration of:

• Barometer
bullet
• Touch screen
bullet
Barometer
Barometer calibration is used to calibrate the internal

barometer. A barometer or information about the actual
barometric pressure at the installation site is required.
Note: The actual barometric pressure is affected by

altitude and weather. Make sure that the absolute
barometric pressure at your current location and
elevation is used. Do not use barometric pressure
readings from a weather service as these typically
report barometric pressure at sea level.
The barometer must be calibrated:
• If the Barometer test in Pre-use check fails.

bullet
• If a Technical error code indicates Barometer error.
bullet
• If the barometric pressure check performed during
bullet
installation or Preventive maintenance shows that
calibration is required, that is if the Barometric
pressure shown in the SYSTEM STATUS > General
window differs more than ±5% from the actual
barometric pressure.
• After replacement of PC 1992 Monitoring or in case

bullet
of malfunction in the memory backup battery on
PC 1992.
To calibrate the barometer:
• Tap CALIBRATION and then tap BAROMETER.

bullet
• Tap Update.
bullet
• Enter the actual barometric pressure and tap the
bullet
OK button.
After calibration, check that the new Barometric
pressure value corresponds to the set value. Note that
the new Barometric pressure value may differ 1-2 hPa
from the set value.


Touch screen
The touch screen must be calibrated:
• If an inaccuracy is seen in the touch screen function.

bullet
• After replacement of PC 2023 Panel.
bullet
To calibrate the touch screen:
• Tap CALIBRATION and then tap TOUCHSCREEN.

bullet
• Tap Start calibration.

intersections that are presented on the screen.
Note: Do not use sharp tools on the screen.
• Tap each of the nine circles presented on the

screen.
When the calibration is completed, the Start calibration

menu appears.
Note: If the touch screen is not calibrated well

enough, it can be difficult to enter Service & Settings
to start the calibration procedure. If so, a mouse can
be connected to the system to facilitate the
navigation. For instructions, refer to Connecting a

5.5 Battery modules

5.5.1 General
• The batteries condition and capacity are verified

bullet
during the Pre-use check and also continuously
during operation of the unit. No further function
checks of the batteries are required.
• Typical recharge time approximately 2 h/battery

bullet
(90 %), up to 3 h (100 %) if battery is completely
discharged. If a battery is fully discharged, e.g. due
to long storage time, each battery may require up
to 6 hours charging time.
• The System software will monitor:

bullet
- Remaining life time. The Battery life time is
manufacturing date, whichever comes first.
- If the operational capacity is too poor for
continued usage.
In both cases, battery replacement information will
be shown on the User interface.
CAUTION: Do not expose the batteries

crush, disassemble, puncture or short

5.5.2 Battery status
Select SYSTEM STATUS > Batteries to open the

Battery status window.
The Battery status window shows:
• Battery capacity. Calculated as the sum of the

bullet
estimated backup time for the connected battery
modules reduced with 20 minutes as an extra safety
feature. This estimate may differ from the actual
usable backup time during running. Usable backup
time depends on set mode and selected ventilation
settings.
• Slot number.
bullet
• Battery module S/N.
bullet
• Remaining operating time in minutes for each
bullet
battery.
• Charge indicator for each battery. If the ventilator

bullet
system is running on battery power, the indicator
for the active battery turns yellow.
• Remaining life time (months) and charge cycles for

bullet
each battery.
If Replace battery-message is displayed, the battery
is unreliable, regardless of the operating time displayed
under Batteries. In this situation, replace the battery
even when the STATUS window indicates that
significant operating time remains.
At least one battery module must always be installed.

5.6 Memory backup batteries

5.6.1 General
• The Memory backup batteries must be replaced

bullet
after five years. A Technical error message will
appear on the screen if the battery voltage level is
too low.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time to

bullet
keep the same replacement date for both batteries.
• After any maintenance or service of the system,

bullet
perform a Pre-use check. Refer to the User's
Manual.
Note: ESD sensitive components.

The Memory backup batteries are
mounted on ESD sensitive PC boards.
Refer to chapter Disassembling and
assembling, section Handling PC
boards for further information regarding
ESD sensitive components.
5.6.2 Preparations
• Turn Off the system.

bullet
• Disconnect the mains power cable.
bullet
• Disconnect the O2 gas supplies (wall and/or
bullet
cylinder).
• Remove patient tubing.

bullet

5.6.3 Replacing Memory backup battery
• Remove the Patient unit front cover. Refer to chapter

bullet
s d
Disassembling and assembling.
• Carefully pull out PC 1991 and PC 1992.

bullet
Note: Do not remove the cable connector (1).
Certain information stored in the PC backup is
disconnected:
- The battery backup on PC 1992 supplies power
to the real time clock and to the memory
containing logs and settings for the last minutes,
warm and cold start information, all of which is
lost at disconnection.
- The battery backup on PC 1991 supplies power
to the memory containing startup ventilation
configuration, which is lost at disconnection.
• There are two equal battery connectors (2 and 3)

bullet
on the PC boards. Connect the new battery to the a f
S20093
un-used connector. The memory functions are now
secured by the new battery.
• Cut the cable ties holding the old battery (4) to the
bullet
PC board.
• Disconnect and remove the old battery.

bullet
• Mount the new battery onto the PC board using new
bullet
cable ties as shown in the illustration.
• Insert the PC board into the correct PC board slot

bullet
and reassemble the Patient unit.
