4a.3.23 Bleed Resistor
Calibration
The software calibrates the bleed resistor as described below. Other than the
setup procedure, this calibration is completely automated.

Software procedure
The software performs the calibration as follows:
1. Opens the flow valve to the starting point that was found (where
manifold pressure is 91-92 cm H
2
O).
2. Waits for the flow to stabilize.
3. Once the flow stabilized, sets the flow to 12 L/min.
4. Wait for the flow to stabilize.
5. Repeat steps 1-4, replacing step 3 with progressively smaller flows.
There are 12 points that are calculated for the bleed resistor calibration. If the
calibration passes, the calculated bleed resistor calibration points are stored
in EEPROM.
Remarks
If the bleed resistor calibration test fails, check altitude and drive gas settings.
Ensure that the breathing circuit gas is exhausting out the scavenging port
during the test. A negative finding indicates a massive circuit leak. Check for
proper regulator pressure calibration. Ensure that the Flow Valve Cal test was
conducted properly. Otherwise, failure indicates a calibration problem with
the flow valve.
