CCV BATTERIES
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BATTERIES
CAUTION:
Use only the MCV-AUXBAT external battery pack, damage
to the ventilator may occur with a non-approved battery pack.
The CCV has an internal and external battery, but will only charge or
use one
at a time. If the external battery is connected, it will be used
and the internal battery will be ignored. If the battery in use is depleted
the user must engage another charged battery, as the CCV will not
automatically switch between batteries. For example, if the external
battery is plugged into the CCV and the Critical Battery alarm sounds,
the external battery must be unplugged in order for the internal battery
to be used.
WARNING:
The auxiliary power connection is keyed. Make sure that
connectors are properly aligned before insertion, do not force.
Damage to the ventilator may occur making the ventilator
unavailable for use.
To keep the batteries fully charged and make sure that a backup is
always available, it is recommended that the CCV be plugged into
mains power at all times to charge the internal battery, and that the
external battery be plugged into mains separately and not connected to
the CCV.
When plugged into the CCV, the external battery cannot be charged by
connecting it to mains. If the external battery is connected to the CCV
and the CCV is connected to mains, the external battery will be used
and will charge. If the external battery is connected to the CCV and the
external battery is also connected to mains but the CCV is not plugged
into mains, the battery will be used but will not charge.
If at any point the CCV shows a
Critical Battery
alarm, follow these
steps:
1)
Plug the CCV into mains power. If it is already plugged in, find
another functional mains outlet and wait 10 seconds for the
alarm to clear.
2)
If mains power is not available, connect the external battery into
the CCV and wait 10 seconds for the alarm to clear.
3)
If the external battery is depleted, unplug it from the CCV to
engage the internal battery.
