The ventilator on/off control is a momentary switch that returns to its
center position after being turned in either direction.

manual/automatic selector valve is in the AUTO position

ventilator with the selector lever in the BAG position, the
yellow FAULT indicator on the ventilator bezel will be
turned on, indicating a fault condition.

green ON indicator is then turned off and the switch returns to its
center position.
