Operating the Device 63
Ramp
After every blower start, the device‘s microcontroller checks whether a soft start ramp
has been programmed. The soft start function slowly increases the pressure over the
time programmed by you, starting with a programmable initial ramp pressure (P-Ramp)
up to the prescribed pressure (CPAP), P-Start (APAP
1
) or IPAP/EPAP (BILEVEL S, T, ST
2
)
in order to make it easier for you to get to sleep. The soft start can bring relief parti-
cularly if you are not quite used to the respiratory therapy yet.
The device offers delay time settings from zero (prescribed therapy pressure starts
immediately) to 45 minutes (prescribed therapy pressure is gradually built up within
45 minutes).

The initial ramp pressure (P-Ramp) can be set between 4 hPa and the prescribed pressure.
Setting the ramp
1. Select the complete menu (see page 47).
2. Use the selection keys and to select Ramp.
