XDCR FAULT
When a transducer autozero test fails, the XDCR FAULT alarm is generated. Transducer autozeros
are scheduled at periodic intervals during ventilator operation. This allows the ventilator to adjust the
zero pressure readings as the ventilator warms up and environmental conditions change. If an
autozero test fails, it will be automatically rescheduled to run again on the next breath. The XDCR
FAULT alarm will remain active until a valid autozero can be done. If the XDCR FAULT persists,
remove the ventilator from service and immediately contact a certified Pulmonetic Systems’ service
technician or Pulmonetic Systems.
When a XDCR FAULT alarm occurs:
• The autozero for the transducer is rescheduled to run again on the next breath.
• The XDCR FAULT message is flashed in the display window.
• The audible alarm is sounded.
To reset the XDCR FAULT alarm:
1) Push the Silence / Reset button twice
.
This alarm is not available in NPPV mode.
