l
Should only be used on a controller that is NOT connected to a
l
patient's pump.

DRIVELINE CONNECTION

To Connect to Controller:
Align the two red marks and push together. An audible

click will be heard confirming proper connection.

The Driveline Cover must completely cover the
l
Controller's silver driveline connector to protect against
static discharge. (Figure B)

l
connecting the Driveline or Driveline extension to the
controller. Failure to use the Driveline Cover may cause
an Electrical Fault Alarm.
