System Setup
Test the Respiration (P-resp) function of the ERT Module by connecting a Respiration
Pillow Sensor (RS-301) to the pneumatic port on the ERT Module. Lightly touching the
pillow sensor should produce waveform deflections on the PC's Resp display..

Testing the heater system

Activation of the Fan Module power switch should produce air flow to the Heater
Module. Turn on the Heater Module power switch and observe a green LED indication.
Connect the Simulator or a Rectal Temperature Probe (RTB-101) to the ERT Module
and observe a temperature reading on the PC monitor display. Select a set point higher
than the measured temperature by opening the heater window (refer to Chapter 6). A
yellow LED should intermittently pulse on the Heater Module indicating power being
delivered to the heating element. Within several seconds, warm air should be present.
Later chapters of the manual provide details on menu selections and settings. Refer to
Appendix C for troubleshooting.
