In Standby Conf., see “Configuring the default
settings in Standby” on page 201 , the maximum
number of use days can be set for the absorber

monitoring is then available on the Check List, during
the Self Test and on the Self Test Results page (“Self

A reusable absorber or the disposable CLIC
absorber can be used with the Apollo. The soda lime
must be exchanged, if:
– the soda lime in the absorber has turned violet.
The color indicator can regenerate slowly and
the soda lime may revert to white, but its
absorption capacity is nevertheless spent. You
should therefore dispose of used absorbers
immediately.
