Why Amico Scout Controller fails to draw vacuum?
The Amico Controller might fail to draw vacuum due to several reasons: there may be no vacuum supply, so check the hospital's vacuum level; the selector switch might be in the OFF position, so turn the selector switch to REG, FULL, or INT position; or the vacuum regulator might be regulated to the OFF position, so turn the regulator knob clockwise to the desired vacuum pressure.
What to do if Amico Controller fails to draw vacuum?
If the Amico Controller fails to draw vacuum, first check the hospital's vacuum level. If the vacuum supply is adequate, ensure the selector switch is not in the OFF position; switch it to REG, FULL, or INT. Also, verify that the vacuum regulator is not set to the OFF position; turn the regulator knob clockwise to adjust to the desired vacuum pressure.
Why outer casing will not align on Amico Scout?
If the outer casing of your Amico Controller will not align, it may be because the regulating module is not lined up with the regulator knob socket, or the sensor assembly is not correctly installed in the front housing. Align the regulator knob and socket. Also, use the guides on the inside of the front housing to ensure the sensor assembly is aligned correctly, ensuring the lights click into the light guides.
Why no LEDs turn on when TEST button is pressed on Amico Scout Controller?
If no LEDs turn on when you press the TEST button on your Amico Controller, the batteries are likely dead. Replace the batteries.
What to do if Regulator Knob won’t turn on Amico Scout?
If the Regulator Knob on your Amico Controller won’t turn, it may have been overtightened. Remove the front housing. If the regulating module still won't turn, rotate it clockwise until it is free.
Why both BATT and CHECK LEDs are on and remain solid on Amico Controller?
If both BATT and CHECK LEDs are on and remain solid on your Amico Controller, the calibration method may be incorrect. Recalibrate the unit using the calibration guide.
Why Amico Scout fails to cycle properly in INT mode?
If the Amico Controller fails to cycle properly in INT mode, first ensure that the selector switch is set to INT. If it is already in INT mode, make sure the unit is properly connected to a vacuum source.
What to do if Vacuum Regulator will not reset on Amico Controller?
If the Vacuum Regulator of your Amico Controller will not reset, the batteries may be dead, or liquid may have entered the circuit board housing. Replace the batteries. If that doesn't work, replace the circuit board assembly.
What to do if Amico Scout unit is leaking?
If the Amico Controller unit is leaking, the duckbill valve or the green plug may be loose or have come off. Try reinstalling the duckbill valve or reinstalling the green plug.
Why FULL mode is not showing full vacuum on Amico Scout Controller?
If the Amico Controller's FULL mode isn't showing full vacuum, check if the bottom port is open or if the vacuum supply is low. Try occluding the bottom port. If the full vacuum remains low, verify the hospital's vacuum level.
