Features
• Individual microprocessor on each display and sensor module.
• Gas specific sensors can be mounted locally or remotely, up to 2,500 feet (750 m), utilizing #22 gauge
stranded, shielded twisted pair cable ONLY
• The DISS gas specific sensor is housed in a solid tamper-proof enclosure. The Sensor Module is
housed in an anodized aluminum and nickle-plated brass enclosure to act as a barrier against any
interference.
• The Sensor Module is the smallest, computer-calibrated and temperature-compensated sensor in the
industry.
• True digital LED display and trend indicator for each service monitored.
• Illuminated LED display that is visible at an angle or in dim lighting conditions.
• PSI, kPa or BAR display (switch selected).
• Self-diagnostic circuitry with error display for problem identification.
• Highly accurate solid state pressure piezoresistive transducer.
• Adjustable repeat alarm (1 to 60 minutes or off).
• Dry contacts for remote monitoring of High and Low alarm status.
• Modules are factory mounted on a hinged frame assembly for ease of installation and maintenance.
• Field programmable push buttons for adjustment of HI and LOW set-points on display module.
• Available in 1 to 7 display modules.
• Built-in relay for remote annunciator applications.
Introduction
The Alarm Valve Combo Unit is a 2 in 1 design, which combines the Area Alarm and Zone Valve Box, to
compensate for space restrictions.
Amico Shutoff Valves are used to stop the flow of medical gas or vacuum in the medical gas distribution
pipeline in cases of emergency or maintenance.
Valve Boxes must be installed to enclose the shutoff valves when the valves are located in areas accessible to
unauthorized personnel.
The Amico medical gas Alarm Valve Combo Unit incorporates the latest microprocessor technology for alarm
and surveillance systems. The alarm has been designed to provide user flexibility and reliability. This manual
will enable the customer to install, use and maintain the alarm properly.
All gases or vacuum are displayed with large red LED’s for clear visibility. To facilitate the monitoring function
by hospital personnel, a trend bar is provided to show the direction of the gas/vacuum pressure. Under normal
operation, the gas trend indicator will be in the GREEN - OK position. If the gas pressure approaches alarm
condition, the trend indicator will display a RED - Caution indicator. If an alarm condition occurs, the buzzer will
sound.
