2.2.3STANDBY BUTTON (MR700/720/730 ONLY)

This button has to be depressed for one second to enter or exit the standby mode. When the adjacent amber LED starts to flash (100/minute) the button can then be released and the Humidifier remains in the standby mode.

To exit Standby mode press the Standby button for 1 second, the amber LED will then turn off. An audio beep accompanies a change in the Standby mode state.

2.2.4HEATER WIRE SWITCH (MR720, MR730 ONLY)

This is a latching, push operated, switch which selects between the heater wire mode and non-heater wire mode. The adjacent green LED, if on, indicates that the humidifier is operating in the heater wire mode. Pressing this switch will cause an audible beep and the LED changes to indicate the new state. A heater wire alarm will commence if switching to the heater wire mode with heater wire disconnected or if switching to the non heater wire mode if a heater wire is connected.

2.4HEATER WIRE ON MODE (ALL MODELS EXCEPT MR480)

In the Heater Wire On Mode (heater wire switch green LED on) the heaterplate and heater wire are regulated to maintain the desired temperature and humidity, within close limits. To minimise rainout or maximise humidification, the chamber outlet temperature can be adjusted to control at a fixed offset from the set airway temperature. The front panel Chamber Control knob is used for this purpose, see § 2.1.2 above.

2.5 MR730/720 IN HEATER WIRE OFF MODE AND MR480

In the non Heater Wire mode of the MR730/720 (heater wire switch green LED off) the delivery temperature is maintained by heaterplate control only. The sensor at the delivery hose end controls the heaterplate to deliver the selected temperature. The sensor at the chamber outlet is employed in a backup safety mode, to limit the chamber outlet temperature to a maximum of 66 °C. In this way safety at low flow rates (below 5 l/minute) is enhanced at the sacrifice of some low flow performance.
