Section 2
General Description
When the battery reserve approaches depletion following an AC power
loss:
• The yellow BATTERY LOW main switch panel indicator illuminates.
NOTE: The BATTERY LOW indicator will only illuminate during
an AC power loss when battery reserves are low.
• The Caution message AC/BATT FAIL appears on the central alarm
display.
The gas supply system remains operative. However, since the ventilator
is inoperative when battery power is cut off, you must perform manual
ventilation by bag. The machine cannot provide monitoring or alarm
functions until AC power is restored.
NOTE: If the Narkomed 2B’s power cord is not plugged into an active
AC outlet for a period of 30 days or more, the backup battery
may become depleted. Plugging the power cord into an active
AC outlet for approximately 16 hours will recharge a depleted
battery.
System Interface
Panel
The system interface panel is located on the absorber side of the
Narkomed 2B. The interface panel contains receptacles for the oxygen
sensor cord, the breathing pressure pilot line, the respiratory volume
sensor cord, and the manual/automatic selector valve interface cable.
