12.2 Ventilator Power Up and Power
Down.
12.2.1 Mains power indicator.
The ventilator has a LED indicator on the front facia
to indicate when mains power is present. The
Indicator unlike previous models does not indicate
that the machine is ON. The mains power present
indicator allows the user to see that the ventilator is
charging the batteries.
12.2.2 Powering up and down.
The ventilator has an internal battery that will allow
the ventilator to continue operating in a mains power
failure situation. The ventilator can also be started
on battery power when not connected to the mains
or in a mains power fail situation. The user has to be
aware that the “Main Power Fail” alarm will sound
until mains power is restored.
12.2.3 Turning ON the ventilator
Depress and hold down the power switch for 2
seconds. When the ventilator has started release
the button.
12.2.4 Turning OFF the ventilator
Depress and hold down the power switch for 2
seconds. The ventilator will power down and the
“Complete Power Fail Alarm” will be active.
To cancel the alarm depress the power switch again
but do not hold down.
12.3 Back-up Battery Charging
Prior to first use, the ventilator should be connected
to a suitable power outlet that is ON for a minimum
of 24 hours. The ventilator does not need to be
turned on to charge the battery.
The ventilator will indicate that mains power is
present via the indicator LED on the front of the
machine.
It is recommended that the ventilator has its
batteries charged every 14 days. The ventilator
must be connected to a mains power source for 24
hours to ensure a full charge.
If the ventilator has not been used or charged in a
40 day period, it must be charged for 24 hours.
Failure to do this may affect the life of the batteries.
Caution: Do not cycle the power rapidly on
the ventilator. This may cause sub system
alarm messages to be generated. Allow a
minimum of 10 seconds between turning the
ventilator OFF and ON.
Caution: Allowing the batteries to remain in
the deep discharged state will shorten the
service life of the batteries and the amount of
time the ventilator can remain on battery
power.
Caution: If the ventilator is operating on
battery power and allowed to completely
discharge the battery, it should be recharged
a soon as possible.
