Powering Up
1. Press the Power key (H) to power on the Analyzer.
The Analyzer displays the power up screen for
several seconds.
2. The Analyzer then prompts you for the zeroing
procedure. Disconnect flow and pressure sensors
and place the Analyzer on a flat surface.
W Warning
Make sure pressure is set to zero before
disconnecting the High Pressure Adapter.
Exposure to high pressure could cause
personal injury.
3. Press G (Ok). The Analyzer now performs the
zeroing procedure. After several seconds, the Tidal
Volume screen appears and the Analyzer is ready for
use. If you have pressed R to initiate the zero
procedure, the Analyzer returns to the previous
screen displayed.
Note
If the Analyzer encounters a power problem
(such as a backwards battery), thermal timeout
devices interrupt normal operation. Repair the
problem, wait several seconds, and resume
normal operation.
Selecting the Operating Mode
Local Mode is the default setting upon powering up the
Analyzer. In Local Mode, select functions by pressing
keys on the front panel.
To change modes from Local to Remote, first connect the
serial cable to both the PC and the miniature RS-232
serial port on the Analyzer. Launch VT for Windows
software (version 2.01.00 or higher) to activate Remote
Mode.
If VT for Windows has remote control, the following
appears on the Analyzer display screen:
No Graphics Available, While Communications Are Active
Normal local key presses have no effect. Press G
(Cancel) to regain local control.
Printing
Print data from the Analyzer using a PC running VT for
Windows. This software also allows you to view all 16
ventilator parameters on one screen and manipulate and
graph data.
