Setting Up the Z Vent Ventilator
Note:
Warning! Always monitor the patient and ventilator when using external filters or the external O
reservoir. Changing modes can trigger false compressor failure alarms when the
device's parameter configurations requires very high air flow.

5. Select the Ventilator's Power Source

The ventilator can run using one of the following power sources:
1. Internal 14.4 VDC Li-ion rechargeable battery with 6.75 Ah capacity (fully charged, the
battery provides 10 hours of operation at factory default settings with pulse oximeter
operating at 25 °C (77 °F).
External AC/DC Power Supply that ZOLL provides (100 to 240 VAC 50/60 and 400 Hz with
2.
an IEC 320 style AC input connector. The AC/DC Power Supply provides a DC output of
24 V at 4.2 A.
3. External DC power from a standard vehicle DC outlet using either the 12 or 28 VDC Power
Cable that ZOLL provides to connect the ventilator to the DC outlet. The ventilator's input
connector accepts DC voltages between 11.8 to 30.0 VDC.
The ventilator uses external power when available rather than its internal battery pack. When an
acceptable external power source is present, the ventilator automatically charges the internal
battery while the device operates. When an external power failure occurs, the device
automatically switches to its internal battery for operating power and activates the EXTERNAL
POWER FAILURE alarm; there is no interruption in operation or loss of any alarms. When
external power returns, operating power automatically switches from internal power to the
external source.
In the event that the device needs to be shutdown, turn the Power switch to the OFF ("O")
position. If this fails to work or puts the patient or user at possible risk, disconnect the device
from the mains power.
To connect the ventilator to an external power source, connect an AC/DC Power Supply plug to
the device's External Power Input and an acceptable electrical outlet.
