Introduction
The Alarm Valve Combo Unit is a 2 in 1 design, which combines the Area Alarm and Zone Valve Box, to
compensate for space restrictions.
Amico Shutoff Valves are used to stop the flow of medical gas or vacuum in the medical gas distribution
pipeline in cases of emergency or maintenance.
Valve Boxes must be installed to enclose the shutoff valves when the valves are located in areas accessible to
unauthorized personnel.
The Amico medical gas Alarm Valve Combo Unit incorporates the latest microprocessor technology for alarm
and surveillance systems. The alarm has been designed to provide user flexibility and reliability. This manual
will enable the customer to install, use and maintain the alarm properly.
All gases or vacuum are displayed with large red LED’s for clear visibility. To facilitate the monitoring function
by hospital personnel, a trend bar is provided to show the direction of the gas/vacuum pressure. Under normal
operation, the gas trend indicator will be in the GREEN - OK position. If the gas pressure approaches alarm
condition, the trend indicator will display a RED - Caution indicator. If an alarm condition occurs, the buzzer will
sound.
