p ressure in steps of 50 to 250 mmHg. Use
t he pressure in steps of 50 to 0 mmHg. At each pressure level the
p recision manometer reading should be within 3 mmHg (1% full
s cale) of the selected pressure level. When no precision manometer
i s available, the check can be performed as follows:
• Close the air outlet C1 of the Frontend Unit with a finger
• Follow the pressure steps and selected pressure must be
displayed in value NNN on the Display.
