1. Cuff Air Supply Connects air supply to the cuff Set Button Used to start the monitoring process While held it prevents the alarm from sounding as the cuff pressure is adjusted As soon as it is released the set pressure is memorised Upper and lower limits of plus and minus 5 kPa on the set pressure are also memorised providing the pressure is between 5 and 55 kPa The timer is zeroed and the monitoring started When the set button is operated a single beep will be heard as an acknowledgment of operation When released a single beep will be heard if the setup is acceptable or a triple beep will be heard if pressure is outside the acceptable range Timer Display A 2 digit timer is provided to keep track of the number of minutes the tourniquet has been in operation A double beep is sounded every 15 minutes of operation Should the total time exceed 99 minutes the display will flash 99 continuously The 15 minute double beep will continue to operate every 15 minutes for up to 24 hours after which it will cease Pressure Display A 3 digit display displays the cuff pressure in either kPa or mmHg The upper and lower alarm points are plus amp minus 5 kPa on the set pressure hence the pressure range of 5 to 55 kPa because the lower limit can go to 0 kPa and the upper limit can go to 60 kPa 60 being the absolute maximum pressure permitted The common front panel area presents the fol2. 2 2V Anything below this value will turn the battery low LED on Nominal battery voltage is 3V The pressure sensors are calibrated at sea level before leaving the factory However a regular maintenance program is advised which should include checking the sensor calibration Page 8 of 9 Specifications SPECIFICATIONS Power Consumption Operating Voltage Current Consumption Power Consumption Environmental Conditions Operating Temperature Range Operating Humidity Range Pressure Sensors Maximum Pressure Connecting Tube Timers Displays Two Digit Pressure Displays Three Digit Alarm Volume Adjustable in 8 steps Audio Signals 1 Beep 2 Beeps 3 Beeps 3 Tones Mixed Continuously Battery Life Unknown at the present time Anticipated to be several years Battery Type CR2032 Nominal 3V 22132 01 doc 12 Volts DC 10 0 3 Amps 3 6 Watts 0 45 Deg C 95 R H non condensing 100 kPa 6mm 0 99 Minutes 0 100 kPa 0 750 mmHg Acceptance of a button or operation 15 Minute audible reminder Rejection of an operation Alarm signal Page 9 of 9
