    Troubleshooting 
    4.2.4 Impedance respiration 
    SITUATION POSSIBLE CAUSE ACTION 
    No resp trace Waveform not selected on the 
    screen. 
    Adjust (Monitor Setup – Screen Setup – 
    Waveform Fields). 
    Unacceptable resp 
    waveform 
    Poor electrode or poor electrode 
    skin contact. 
    Electrodes from different manufacturers 
    are used. Too much/little gel is used. 
     Poor electrode condition. Electrodes are dried out. 
     Improper site of electrodes. Check that electrodes are not placed over 
    bones, active muscles, or layers of fat.

    appears on the paper. 
    Active side of paper is down.  Turn the paper roll.   
    NOTE: To test which side is active, place the 
    paper on a hard surface and draw a line with a 
    fingernail. A dark line appears on the active 
    (thermal) side.

    Out of range > 320 mmHg 
    (> 42.7 kPa) 
    Measurement pressure is beyond 
    measurement range. 
    Check transducer level. Zero the channel. The 
    patient may also have high pressure. 
    Zero adj. > 100 mmHg  
    (> 13.3 kPa) 
    Offset when zeroing is > 100 
    mmHg (but < 150 mmHg)  
    (> 13.3 kPa, but < 20.0 kPa) 
    from the unit’s absolute zero 
    (with default gain). 
    Check transducer. The waveform may hit the top 
    and the numeric display not shown.

    5.2  AC/DC power supply functional description 
    5.2.1 Introduction 
    The AC/DC unit SR92A720 is a switched-mode power supply made by Efore Ltd.  
     
    Figure 5-1. AC/DC unit 
    The AC/DC switched-mode power supply unit SR92A720 is an integrated part of a patient monitoring 
    device.  The SR92A720 power supply is mains connected and can be supplied with a universal single 
    phase line voltage in the range of 85 to 275 V.  The unit has one output line with a maximum 
    continuous output power of about 63 W. 
    The aluminum chassis is classed as IP20.  The chassis is connected to protected earth.  This makes 
    the assembly and handling of the power supply unit safer. In addition, the aluminum chassis is used in 
    thermal management and EMC design.
