About The Instructions For Use; Scope; Target Audience - Emerson Tescom WegaMed Instructions D'utilisation

Some versions are equipped with a continually adjustable flow outlet for measuring and
adjusting the volume flow of the gas. The gas flows upwards against the weight of the
float. The float adjusts to a certain height, depending on the volume flow. The volume
flow is adjusted by a needle valve downstream of the flow gauge.
Some versions of the pressure regulator are equipped with an alarm feature on
the input connection. An alarm sounds if the inlet pressure drops below a specific
value (see marking on the alarm feature). Medical gas flows into the area
surrounding the pressure regulator during this process. Observe the safety
information for working with medical gases.
