Starting the Volume AutoFlow ventilation mode
Table 5. Adjustment ranges and factory settings for
Volume AF mode
1. When all the parameters have been preset,
press the rotary knob to start Volume AF
ventilation (4 in Figure 69).
The parameter buttons turn dark green and display
the preset parameter values. The “Vol. AF” indication
in the status field stops flashing and is displayed
continuously. Volume AutoFlow ventilation begins.
If a volume parameter has to be changed during
ventilation:
1. Press the button for the parameter to be
changed, turn the rotary knob to the desired
value, and press the rotary knob to confirm.
Note: Volume AF can also be started without
presetting values:
– Press the >Vol. AF Mode< key located at
the bottom of the display panel, and press
the rotary knob. Default parameter values
are used.
