SECTION 5-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Flowrate NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.5 on page 20. 1. Turn the flowrate knob to the setting prescribed by your physician or therapist. CAUTION Never set the flow greater than 5 L/min. ƽ WARNING DO NOT change the L/min setting on the flowmeter unless a change has been prescribed by your physician or therapist. NOTE: To properly read the flowmeter, locate the prescribed flowrate line on the flowmeter. Next, turn the flow knob until the ball rises to the line. Now, center the ball on the L/min line prescribed. 2. If the flowrate on the flowmeter ever falls below 0.5 L/min for more than about one minute, the LOW FLOW alarm will be triggered. This is a rapid beeping of the audible alarm. Check your tubing or accessories for blocked or kinked tubing or a defective humidifier bottle. After rated flow is restored, between 0.5 L/min and 0.75 L/min, the LOW FLOW audible alarm will turn off. NOTE: The use of some accessories such as the pediatric flowstand and the HomeFill compressor will deactivate the Low Flow Alarm. Part No 1143482 19 Perfecto2™Series
