6.14.4 Disconnecting a vaporizer
Before disconnecting a vaporizer, it needs to
be deactivated. This is done either by setting
the vaporizer to non-active in the Select
vaporizer window, or by using the rotary knob
to deactivate the vaporizer. It is not possible
to remove a vaporizer that is not deactivated.
To deactivate the vaporizer using the rotary
knob, perform the following:
1. Turn the rotary knob counter-clockwise
past '0% agent' until 'OFF' is displayed.
2. Press the knob to confirm the new setting.
The vaporizer is depressurized, flushed
and unlocked.
3. A system message appears when the
process is completed: 'Vaporizer OFF,
unlocked and ready to remove'.
When the system message appears in the
message area, lift the locking handle upwards
and remove the vaporizer.
If a vaporizer is dropped, it should be checked
by a service technician trained and authorized
by MAQUET.
CAUTION: When a vaporizer is removed
from the system, the gas connector on the
rear of the vaporizer can be hot (>47
o
C).
