OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The electronic system controls on the smoke evacuator system are easy to understand and simple to use. The
membrane control panel contains the soft power ON/OFF switch, Suction Control adjustment, Filter-Life
Remaining indicator, and Service required indicator. (see figure 1)
NOTICE:
Please be sure to read all instructions before installing accessories or operating this
equipment. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or personal injury.
Power ON/OFF & Standby:
There are two ON/OFF switches on the smoke evacuator system. The ON/OFF switch that completely disables the
electrical power to the unit is normally located on the side of the unit. The soft ON/OFF switch on the electronic
membrane control panel is located in the upper right-hand corner of the membrane panel. To power up the machine,
place the power switch on the side of the machine in the ON position and press the ON/OFF switch on the mem-
brane panel until the suction control lights illuminate. Place the unit in “standby” mode by pressing the ON/OFF
membrane switch to the OFF position. Turn the system main power off by placing the power switch on the side of
the system in the OFF position.
Suction Control (Membrane Control Panel):
The amount of suction may be adjusted by pressing the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Pressing the UP arrow button
increases suction and pressing the DOWN arrow button decreases suction. The suction control should be set at the
lowest practical setting to completely remove the surgical smoke from the operative site. Each time either arrow
button is pressed the suction will increase or decrease by 10%. When two lights are lit on the flow suction indica-
tor, the actual air flow is the value between the two illuminated percentages.
