[2] Reading area. Shows the valve model on the left and
each of the eight pressure levels for SM8 valve (three for
SM3 valve) associated with this reference.
[3] Rotating ring. Used to select the reading area corre-
sponding to the valve model to be adjusted.
[4] Arrow showing the direction of the CSF flow. Used to po-
sition the Locator correctly in relation to the valve.
[5] Central cut-out area. Used to center and position the Lo-
cator accurately and as closely as possible to the valve.
6.2. Compass
The Compass fits into the Locator and enables direct reading
of pressure values.
3 points
The needle indicates the exact orientation of the valve rotor.
When used in conjunction with the Locator, the Compass en-
ables the valve pressure to be read.

6.3. Magnet
CAUTION
Keep the Magnet away from electromedical devices for
care or diagnosis (i.e. pacemaker, patient monitor, elec-
tronic measuring devices, imaging devices, etc.). The
magnetic field of the Magnet could provoke electro-
magnetic disturbance and altere their operation.
CAUTION
Do not store or handle the Magnet near any device like-
ly to be altered by a powerful magnetic field.
CAUTION
Do not move the Magnet close to a powerful magnetic
field (e.g. MRI). It could become a dangerous projectile
or its performance could be affected.
CAUTION
Handle the Magnet with care near metal objects (e.g.
hospital furniture). They could become violently attrac-
ted.
