C E INDICATOR DISPLAY EMM O2
X.Y.ZZZ
The E-Indicator Display provides an
indication of the amount of gas remaining
in the cylinder and the remaining amount
of time before the cylinder be comes
empty (based on the current fl ow rate).
'X.Y' is a coding identifying the hardware
version (X) and software version (Y). 'ZZZ'
is a coding of inlet pressure for which the
E-Indicator Display shall be used. For more
information see Chapter 6 - E-Indicator
Display.
D COMBINATION CONTROL KNOB
"SHUT OFF VALVE & FLOW SELECTOR"
The valve is fi tted with combination control
knob for valve turning-on/off and setting of
particular fl ows. The valve is turned on by
anticlockwise rotation from OFF position
to ON position. Particular fl ows are set by
further anticlockwise rotation. The shut-off
valve is turned off by clockwise rotation to
OFF position.
E RESIDUAL PRESSURE VALVE
Combination valve is equipped with a residual pressure valve with function to retain a minimum
positive pressure in the gas cylinder to avoid contamination of the cylinder content by
atmospheric air. During cylinder gas ventilation through the fi lling port the residual pressure
valve is by passed.
F, G FLOW CONTROL HEAD "F" AND FLOW OUTLET "G" OPTION
Combination valve is delivered with a fl ow control head "F".This function is used to supply
adjustable gas fl ow rates (l/min) at atmospheric pressure directly to a patient through the fl ow
outlet "G", for instance through a cannula or a facemask. The fl ow outlet "G" is equipped with
hose fi tting (hose nipple) or a threaded type (for accessories to be connected via threaded
connection).
Movement of the fl ow outlet 'G' is normal due to the method of fi xing in the main body. It doesn't
indicate a faulty fl ow outlet.
H PRESSURE OUTLET QUICK COUPLER OR PURGE VALVE OPTION
The pressure outlet is the outlet direct from the low-pressure part of the valve and it is fi tted with
a specifi c quick connector or purge valve.
In the use of the valve with quick connector also called "quick coupler" (see appendix Nr 2) the
user can connect another piece of equipment to quick coupler with a gas specifi c male probe
– quick-coupler probe. Its disconnection means self-sealing of the quick connector. This outlet
is for supplying gas at a controlled pressure to power medical devices, for instance medical
ventilator.
The valve without the quick coupler is provided with purge valve that is used to vent residual
pressure in the low-pressure part of the valve.
I BURSTING DISC
The bursting disc is placed above the residual pressure vale E. It is a safety device which
prevents over-pressurization of the low pressure area of the valve.
