8.7 Checking the alarm systems

Important
In the case of the stenosis
alarm and the disconnec-
tion alarm, the alarm signal
(or message) is only set off
when the cause of the
alarm is repeated in two
successive inspiration
phases. This prevents the
alarm being triggered by a
very short-lived dysfunc-
tion.
Important
In this test the rise in pres-
sure is so strong that the
pressure gauge needle may
overswing into the red
zone. There are technical
reasons for this, and it does
not indicate any malfunc-
tion.
