Calibration

The accuracy of the shock energy measurement needs to be checked on a regular basis (see
Maintenance and Technical Inspection on page 54) and after any replacements of PCBs or update of
the software.
C
AUTION
No more than 16 shocks can be applied without a pause of about 15 minutes afterwards to avoid
overheating of the device!
Check the current calibration first:
Apply two shocks with each 50 J, 100 J and 360 J to a calibrated defibtester (e.g. DNI Nevada Inc.). If
any of the delivered energy values deviates for more than ± 5% from the chosen value calibration is
required.
The calibration procedure requires
•
Dash Responder Service kit (2006861-001)
•
PC/Laptop
•
calibrated defibtester with energy display (e.g. DNI Nevada Inc.)
•
hard paddles or the adapter cable for the adhesive paddles which are suitable for the used
defibtester.
N
OTE
The charge level of the battery should be sufficient for several shocks.
The following steps describe how to calibrate the Dash Responder
