can be remedied by adjusting or refilling the
vaporizer, for example:
– Inspiratory xMAC high
– Filling level of vaporizer low
– Vaporizer open
– xMAC low

Acoustic alarm signals

It always is the alarm with the highest priority that
is acoustically signaled. The signal is emitted until
either the cause of the alarm is remedied or the
Audio paused key is pressed.
Depending on the overall alarm situation, it is
possible that the 10-tone sequence for the high
alarm priority is only issued as a 5-tone sequence
due to the coinciding occurrence of alarms.
Regardless of the set alarm volume, the No O
delivery alarm is issued at maximum volume.
