Alarm output For the connection of an external alarm indicator (staff call).
(Potential-free alarm output. Alternating contact maximum
24 V / 24 W.)
Connector: 3-pin diode plug via a shielded line; shield earthed on either
side.
Only the cable from the original accessories may be used.
The device does not monitor whether a signal is transferred
successfully to an external alarm indicator. Connecting an external
alarm indicator does not influence whether visual and acoustic alarms
are generated at the device.
12.9 Operating programs
Functional test Automatic test for verification of the safety systems. Starts automatically
every time the device is turned on.
The functional test is mandatory after turning the device power on (not
after a power failure).
Preparation Defined by the optical detector located below the venous bubble
catcher. Preparation is terminated as soon as the optical detector
senses opaque fluid in the blood line system.
Priming the tubing
systems
Automatic priming and deaeration of the tubing systems by pressing a
key. Priming will stop automatically as soon as the venous bubble
catcher is filled.
Warning
Patient hazard due to missed alarm signals
Do not rely on external alarm signals as there is no guarantee that the
alarm signals will be transferred from the device to external alarm
indicators.
 Observe the information on processing alarms (see chapter 5 on
page 5-1).
 Always stay close enough to the device that you will notice alarm
signals at any time.
