3.10.1.1 Manometer
The manometer (1) s located on the top of the manfold block
Manometer scale -10 to +100 cmHO
Manometer accuracy ±5% (wthn range +10 to 80
cmHO)
AUTION
1 Remove the manometer before autoclavng the absorber
2 heck that the manometer has been reftted after
autoclavng the absorber
3.10.1.2 APL Valve
The APL valve s a sprng loaded plastc float wth a rubber
seal
The valve provdes breathng system pressure control, and
excess pressure relef
The sprng pressure can be vared by rotatng the control knob
on top of the valve
In the fully counterclockwse poston the mnmum pressure
s 10 cmHO at 6 L/mn Ths can be ncreased by clockwse
rotaton to 60 cmHO
As shown n the graph, further clockwse rotaton causes a
rapd ncrease n openng pressure so that n the fully closed
poston, the valve functons as a 60 cmHO excess pressure
relef valve
WARNIN
The APL valve s out of crcut when the system s n
‘Ventlator’ mode The ventlator s equpped wth a pressure
relef valve
