Pump Operation

Power: Power On / Off
Soft / Firm: Pressure adjustment. Each single push adjusts ±5KG. Longer push adjusts ±5KG
rapidly.
Static: All tubes will inflate up to 52mmHg / 180 Kg. No alternating takes place & the digital display
will show "- - -". The pump will revert back to the previous alternating cycle after 30 minutes.
Pressure Monitor: The light is illuminated when pressure is normal & extinguished when pressure
is abnormal. The light will continuously flash during the alternating cycle change-over.
Mute: When pushed, the audible alarm is silenced.
Lock/Unlock/Malfunction:
• Push the key for 2-3 seconds to lock / unlock the panel.
• The light will continuously flash on the following occasions: when the mattress has not yet
reached pressure during alternating cycles; the mattress probably has an air leak or the
pressure has dropped lower than 6mmHg.
• When the panel is unlocked, it will automatically lock itself after a period of time.
• The lock / unlock facility will be unavailable if the system cannot reach pressure.
Alarm Activation: In order for the alarm to activate, the system must be switched on & powered
up for at least 5 minutes. This should give the internal battery on the PCB sufficient time to charge.
