4a.3.9 Test Drive
Pressure Limit Switch
The software tests the pressure limit switch to make sure that it trips at the
correct manifold over pressure. The software opens the flow valve to a value
where pressure continues to increase. It then waits for the DPL (Drive Pressure
Limit) switch to trip. The pressure at which the DPL switch tripped is indicated.
This value is the manifold pressure measured upstream of the drive gas check
valve (the typical reading is 112 cm H
2
O), not the actual pressure at the
switch. If the DPL switch never trips (within 15 seconds) the test fails. If the
DPL switch does not trip at a pressure within the correct tolerance, the test
fails.

instructions
Go to the Discrete I/O signal menu and check the DPL (Drive Pressure Limit)
switch status (Off).
Remove the rear subfloor. Connect a pressure test device to the black inline
connector that is in the Exhalation Valve interface cuff tubing (SIB side).
Apply 104 +5/-4 cm H
2
O (76.5 +3.8/-2.9 mm Hg) to activate the switch.
Verify status change on the I/O signal screen (On).
If problem continues, replace SIB.
