Precision Medical Timox Oxygen Timer - Manual (Page 2)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The function of the TIMOX Oxygen Timer is to
display and record the amount of time oxygen has
been flowing to a patient. The display is constantly
visible, indicates when oxygen is flowing, and is
easily reset.
OPERATION
Place the TIMOX Oxygen Timer in service
by connecting its handtight inlet fitting to the
downstream side of a flowmeter or regulator. The
timer generates a small amount of backpressure;
therefore it should be used with a backpressure
compensated flowmeter. Besides oxygen, the
timer can be used with compressed air, helium,
nitrogen, or carbon dioxide.
DO NOT USE IN HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES .
READING HOURS
The display is an LCD and is constantly visible.
The timer will start running when the flow reaches
.4 LPM ±.1 LPM. The decimal point blinks when
the timer is running. The display is capable of
showing a maximum elapsed time of 1999.9 hours.
RESETTING
To reset the timer to 0 hours, simply insert a
pen or pencil tip into the hole marked “RESET” on
the front of the timer to press the reset switch.
CARE
The TIMOX Oxygen Timer is an electronic
device and must be handled with reasonable care.
Do not submerge the unit in any liquid. Do not au-
toclave it. Clean the exterior with a mild detergent
and a damp cloth.
