9. Troubleshooting - Alarm Condition
The Flowtron Excel system features an audible and visual alarm. If a problem
occurs, the system will sense the fault and briefly flash a message on the front panel
pressure display.
If the same fault continues for 10 successive inflations, the audible alarm will sound
and a flashing message will remain on the pressure display until corrective action is
completed. All the alarm conditions are low priority, in compliance with
IEC60601-1-8.
The exception to this is an fault which will alarm immediately.
Alarm Condition
Alarm Cancel After a fault has been corrected, the alarm can be
cancelled by two methods:
1. Switch the pump off, then on again.
2. Allow the pump to run until it senses a normal
inflation; it will then reset itself.
Continue to watch the display for approximately one
minute after reset. If no flashing messages reappear, the
fault has been cleared.
