Perform a full functionality test on the Auralis
system (6 steps)
1. Connect the tube-set to the Auralis pump. Make
sure the tube-set clicks into place.
2. Connect the power cable to a power source.
The Auralis pump sounds with a start-up tone
and a self-diagnostic check runs for 10 seconds.
Once the check is completed the Auralis pump beeps
twice and is ready for use.
3. Press the Run/standby button to start the Auralis
pump.
4. To check the alarm functionality, disconnect
the tube-set from the pump while the system is
switched on. After 30 seconds, two green alarm
panel indicators on the front of the pump turn
yellow, the Low pressure indicator turns yellow
and an audible alarm sounds.
5. Reconnect the tube-set to the pump to deactivate
the alarm.
6. If the functionality test is not completed, call
