2.0 OPERATING CONTROLS AND M ODES _____________________________
2.1 ADJUSTABLE CONTROLS
2.1.1 AIRWAY TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Selects the airway controlling temperature. The range of adjustment is from 31 to 40 °C over a linear scale marked in
degrees on the front panel.
The temperature can be set with a resolution of 0.1 °C. The set temperature is flashed on the display when the control
knob is rotated and continues to be flashed for five seconds after the last adjustment.
2.1.2 CHAMBER CONTROL (HEATER WIRE ON MODE ONLY)
The temperature of the gas leaving the chamber is regulated by the Chamber Control knob, it sets the difference between
the chamber outlet temperature and the airway temperature delivered to the patient. The setting of the Chamber Control,
when added to the setting of the Temperature Control, determines the chamber outlet set temperature. This Chamber
Control has a linear range of adjustment from -5 to +2 °C marked in one degree steps and can be set with a resolution of
0.5 °C. The value is flashed on the Airway display as the control knob is rotated and continues to be flashed for five
seconds after the last adjustment.
Every humidifier is also supplied with a fixed chamber control knob. This prevents inadvertent adjustment of the
chamber control by preadjusting the existing knob to the desired setting and then replacing the normal knob with the
fixed knob.
2.2 PUSH SWITCHES
2.2.1 MUTE BUTTON
A momentary push will disable an audible alarm for 3 minutes (except low temperature alarm in non heater wire mode
which is 10 minutes).
A secondary function is that in conjunction with the Chamber Temp switch enables entry to the engineering menu (refer
Appendix A2).
On every initial push of the mute button a momentary audio beep indicates function operation.
2.2.2 CHAMBER TEMP BUTTON
MR700 Series Humidifiers with Version 1.0 Software:
Operation of this switch causes the airway temperature display to momentarily blank then show the chamber outlet
temperature. A green LED adjacent to the switch is enabled to indicate that this function is active. On release of this
switch the display reverts immediately to show the airway temperature.
This button is used in conjunction with the mute to enter the engineering menu (refer Appendix A2).
MR700 Series Humidifiers with Version 2.0 and Version 3.0 Software:
Operation of this switch causes the airway temperature display to momentarily blank then show the chamber outlet
temperature. A green LED adjacent to the switch is enabled to indicate that this function is active. On release of this
switch the display continues to show the chamber outlet temperature for 2 seconds before blanking momentarily and
reverting to show the airway temperature.
This button is used in conjunction with the mute to enter the engineering menu (refer Appendix A2).
Ref. 185040646 MR730/720/700/480 Technical Manual ¯ Revision F ¯ Issued March 2001
2.2.3 STANDBY BUTTON (MR700/720/730 ONLY )
This button has to be depressed for one second to enter or exit the standby mode. When the adjacent amber LED starts
to flash (100/minute) the button can then be released and the Humidifier remains in the standby mode.
To exit Standby mode press the Standby button for 1 second, the amber LED will then turn off. An audio beep accompanies a change in the Standby mode state.
2.2.4 HEATER WIRE SWITCH (MR720, MR730 ONLY )
This is a latching, push operated, switch which selects between the heater wire mode and non-heater wire mode. The
adjacent green LED, if on, indicates that the humidifier is operating in the heater wire mode. Pressing this switch will
cause an audible beep and the LED changes to indicate the new state. A heater wire alarm will commence if switching to
the heater wire mode with heater wire disconnected or if switching to the non heater wire mode if a heater wire is
connected.
2.3 POWER UP SEQUENCES
2.3.1 VERSION 1.0 SOFTWARE
After switch on the humidifier goes through the following sequence. Note that each displayed information is flashed for
2 seconds.

• Maximum Heaterplate setting eg ‘110’
• Audio Beep
Temperature display
eg ‘-1.0’. Not applicable for MR480
Temperature display
eg ‘-1.0’. Not applicable for MR480
2.4 HEATER W IRE ON MODE (ALL MODELS EXCEPT MR480)
In the Heater Wire On Mode (heater wire switch green LED on) the heaterplate and heater wire are regulated to maintain
the desired temperature and humidity, within close limits. To minimise rainout or maximise humidification, the chamber
outlet temperature can be adjusted to control at a fixed offset from the set airway temperature. The front panel Chamber
Control knob is used for this purpose, see § 2.1.2 above.
2.5 MR730/720 IN HEATER W IRE OFF MODE AND MR480
In the non Heater Wire mode of the MR730/720 (heater wire switch green LED off) the delivery temperature is maintained
by heaterplate control only. The sensor at the delivery hose end controls the heaterplate to deliver the selected
temperature. The sensor at the chamber outlet is employed in a backup safety mode, to limit the chamber outlet
temperature to a maximum of 66 °C. In this way safety at low flow rates (below 5 l/minute) is enhanced at the sacrifice of
some low flow performance.
Ref. 185040646 MR730/720/700/480 Technical Manual ¯ Revision F ¯ Issued March 2001

2.6 W ARM UP MODE
After initial turn on, warm up mode is entered. In this mode the Low temperature alarm is disabled. The Low temperature alarm is
enabled when warm up mode is exited.
2.6.1 WARM UP MODE EXITING CONDITIONS (LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM ENABLED):
• (MR700/MR730(All versions) and MR720(version 1.0) in Heater Wire Mode)
Warm Up mode continues until the Software Detects-
Either: The airway temperature reaches within 0.8 °C of the Temperature Control set point.
Or: The airway temperature has not increased by 2 °C for at least 4 minutes (2 minutes for version 3.0 software).
Or: The airway temperature has not got within 2 °C of the set point after ten minutes from switch on.
• (MR700/MR730(all versions) and MR720(version 1.0) in Non Heater Wire Mode and MR480)
Warm Up mode continues until the Software Detects-
Either: The airway temperature gets above 30 °C.
Or: The airway temperature has not increased by 2 °C within 15 minutes.
Or: The airway temperature has increased by 2 °C within 15 minutes but still has not reached 30 °C after a further 15
minutes.
Note:In this mode the audio alarm is not enabled until 30 seconds after the Airway Temp Low LED switches on.
At this time the heaterplate circuit switches off, pressing mute will silence the alarm for 10 minutes, during
which time the heaterplate power is enabled
2.6.2 MR720 (V ERSION 2.0, 3.0 SOFTWARE)
If the above warm up exiting conditions are not initially met the MR720 will automatically enter the standby mode for 20
minutes for version 2.0 software and 30 minutes for version 3.0 software (refer § 2.7.2).
2.7 STANDBY MODE
2.7.1 MR700/MR730 (ALL SOFTWARE VERSIONS), MR720 (V ERSION 1.0 ONLY)
The standby mode can be entered or exited by depressing the standby button for 1 second. A beep will be emitted once
successful entered or exited standby mode (refer § 2.2.3).
In the standby mode all Low Temperature alarms are inhibited, the heaterplate is controlled to a nominal 40.0 °C and the
heater wire is on a 15 % duty cycle.
Standby mode is automatically exited after 20 minutes (30 minutes for version 3.0 software) and the warm up mode is
entered (the low temperature alarms remain disabled - refer § 2.6).
A Remote Standby request (see Appendix A5.3) enables the standby mode and turns the standby amber LED permanently on.
2.7.2 MR720 STANDBY MODE (VERSION 2.0 AND 3.0 SOFTWARE ONLY)
The MR720 has a special feature where it will go into a standby mode automatically after turn on if the warm up exiting
conditions are not met. This standby mode time is 20 minutes for version 2.0 and 30 minutes for version 3.0 software.
While in standby mode, if the airway temperature increases by 2 °C at any time, the MR720 will exit stand by mode and
enter warm up mode. The unit then monitors the warm-up exiting conditions(see § 2.6.1 and 2.6.2), and if these are not
met, then the unit re-enters Standby mode.

3.0 ALARMS AND INDICATORS _____________________________________
3.1 TEMPERATURE PROBE ALARM
If the airway temperature probe is disconnected or develops a low or high resistance the Temperature Probe alarm will be
enabled. Indication is by a ‘- - -' message on the airway temperature display plus a flashing Temperature Probe red LED
and an audio alarm.
Five specific fault types can be diagnosed and are displayed by the sequence of ‘decimal points’ in the display, as
shown below:
a
b
c
d
e
The faults (a to d) above are checked for at a rate of about twice per second. The final fault (e) which does not
immediately cause any apparent operating anomaly is checked twice a minute.
A Temperature Probe Alarm immediately shuts down both heater wire and heaterplate.
Once the alarm condition has been removed the humidifier will enter warm up mode (refer § 2.6).
3.2 ALARMS IN HEATER W IRE MODE (MR700/720/730 ONLY)
3.2.1 HEATER WIRE ALARM
If the heater wire is disconnected or there is a fault with the heater wire circuit, then the Heater Wire alarm LED will start

3.2.4 CHAMBER TEMP HIGH ALARM
This alarm will activate if:
• The temperature of gas leaving the humidification chamber outlet is more than 4 °C higher than the chamber set
temperature for more than 20 minutes. (The chamber set temperature is the sum of the Temperature Control
setting and the Chamber Control setting).
• The temperature of the gas leaving the humidification chamber outlet exceeds the chamber set temperature by
10 °C or more.
This alarm causes the heater circuits to switch off and the ‘Chamber Temp High’ amber LED indicator to start flashing.
The audio alarm (which can be muted) is also enabled. This alarm remains active until the high temperature condition is
cleared.
3.2.5 CHAMBER TEMP LOW ALARM ACTIVATION
For Chamber Set Temperature < 35 °C For Chamber Set Temperature ≥≥ 35 °C
The temperature of gas leaving the humidification
chamber outlet is less than 4 °C lower than the
chamber set temperature for more than 20 minutes.
The Chamber Temp Low alarm amber LED will begin to flash and the audio alarm is enabled. This alarm remains active
until the low temperature condition is cleared. Pushing the mute button will silence the Audio alarm.
7
The temperature of gas leaving the humidification
chamber outlet is less than 31 °C for more than 20
minutes.
3.2.6 SET LOW WARNING
Version 1.0 and Version 2.0 Software
This alarm will activate if the chamber set temperature is below 31.0 °C. In this case the Set Low amber LED will
immediately be enabled and remain on, until such time as the chamber set temperature is adjusted above 31.0 °C. There is
no audible alarm.
Version 3.0 Software
This alarm will activate if either the chamber set temperature or Temperature Control setting is below 34.0 °C.
In these cases the Set Low amber LED will immediately be enabled and remain on, until such time as the set airway or
chamber set temperature is adjusted above 34.0 °C. There is no audible alarm.
3.3 TEMPERATURE ALARMS IN NON HEATER W IRE MODE (INCLUDES MR480)
3.3.1 HEATER WIRE ALARM
This indicates that a heater wire has been connected when the non heater wire mode has been selected (Heater Wire
‘On’ LED is off). In this case the Heater Wire alarm LED will be flashing, the audio alarm begins and the heaterplate is
switched off.
3.3.2 AIRWAY TEMPERATURE HIGH ALARM
The red Airway Temp High LED will flash and an audible alarm will sound if the gas temperature being delivered to the
patient is 41 °C or higher. Power to the heaterplate is immediately shut off.
3.3.3 AIRWAY TEMPERATURE LOW ALARM
The red Airway Temp Low LED will flash and an audible alarm will sound if the gas temperature being delivered to the
patient is 29.5 °C or less.
The audio alarm is not enabled for 30 seconds after the low temperature LED begins flashing.
Ref. 185040646 MR730/720/700/480 Technical Manual ¯ Revision F ¯ Issued March 2001
Pushing the mute button mutes the audio alarm for ten minutes and restores power to the heaterplate during this time.
The Airway Temp Low LED will continue to flash. This alarm is disabled during warmup. See § 2.6.2.
If the airway temperature drops below 5°C the display will show ‘LO’ and an audible alarm will sound.
3.4 AUDIO ALARM
A choice of the ISO draft standard audio alarm or a gliding tone can be selected by the programming control link (L1).
Refer Appendix A3.
A momentary depression of the mute button will silence the audio alarm for about 3 minutes (except for a low
temperature alarm in no heater wire mode. See § 3.3.3. The relevant LED indicators remain flashing until the alarm
condition clears. Any new alarm condition occurring within a mute delay will cause the audio alarm to be re-enabled.
3.5 SAFETY PROTECTION (ALL MODELS)
3.5.1 TEMPERATURE DEVIATIONS
An over temperature alarm condition causes an immediate shut down of both heater circuits. In the case of a Low
Temperature alarm, pressing Mute causes heating to recommence, the Low Temperature LED however remains on until
the fault has cleared. There are two independent backup over temperature protection circuits.
8
Firstly, an over temperature protection circuit independent of the microprocessor control continuously monitors the
airway thermistor sensor. This backup protection is preset to disconnect the heating circuits at 41.0 °C.Secondly, a
bimetallic thermostat fixed to the heaterplate operates if the heaterplate temperature exceeds 118 ± 6 °C and cuts out the
mains active supply. On cooling, this protector can only be reset by gaining access to the under surface of the
heaterplate and manually depressing the red reset button.
Heaterplate temperature is limited to 110 °C max during normal operation (80 °C for MR720). Optional heaterplate limits of
50, 80 and 90 °C can be selected. (Refer Appendix A3).
3.5.2 MICROPROCESSOR WATCH DOG
A control loop in the operating software continuously monitors for correct operation. Should a fault be detected a
hardware reset circuit attempts to reinitialise the microprocessor. If this is not successful additional hardware disables
the heating circuit, blanks the display and turns the Humidifier Fault red LED on.
The watch dog circuit is tested at turn on by deliberately halting the processor and forcing initialisation.

4.0 CIRCUIT OPERATION_________________________________________
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes briefly the operation of each of the circuit sections. Refer to the circuit diagrams in § 8.5 to 8.8.
4.2 CONTROL BOARD
The one basic control board, with various discreet hardware changes, provides the controlling functions for the
MR730/720/700/480 range of humidifiers. Each model however is controlled by a unique software version.
4.2.1 CONTROL THERMISTORS
Three standard characteristic thermistors control all temperature functions:
• One thermistor is mounted in a probe at the end of the delivery hose to measure delivered airway temperature
(connector J4-1,3). This temperature is indicated by the digital display on the humidifier front panel.
• A second thermistor mounted in a probe measures the chamber tem perature at the top of the humidifying
chamber (connector J4-2,3). In heater wire mode this thermistor is used to monitor and control the chamber
outlet temperature.
• A third thermistor is permanently mounted in intimate contact with the heaterplate (HP) (connector J3-1,3). This
prevents excessive heaterplate temperatures during a warm up cycle.
4.2.2 INPUT ANALOG SWITCHES U8 AND U9
The 1 by 8 analog switch (U8) selects under processor control (PB0-3) various input signals and reference potentials.
Selected sequentially are potentials giving; (0-3): the position of the temperature set potentiometer VR3, and offset
potentiometer VR2. (4-6): calibration temperatures of 9, 34.5 and 60 °C across resistors R18, R17 and R16, and from (7):
the heaterplate (HP) thermistor.
From the 3 by 2 analog switch (U9) under processor control (PB4-6) the airway temperature and the chamber outlet
temperatures from the dual probe temperature sensor are also read.
4.2.3 ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER U10 B,D,E
The temperature probe inputs are filtered by the C30, C31, R28, R26, C19, C20 network for EMI suppression. The selected
output of the analog switch network U8, U9 is fed to pin 10 of U10d, a low pass operational amplifier with a gain of 11.
This stage is filtered with C23 to give protection from any voltage transients appearing at its input. The integrating stage
U10b rests for most of the time (50 to 60ms) with R35 connected (through an analog switch in U9) across the integrating
capacitor C22 holding it in a discharged state. With VR5 and R34 connected to the non-inverting input of U10b the stage
has a ‘static' gain of about 0.5 giving a resting level of about -2.5 to -3 V at the output pin 1.
Under processor control (PB6) when the switch section of U9 across C22 is opened the output of U10b ramps up (0.1-5
ms). This rising ramp voltage is fed via R36 to the comparator stage U10e where it is referenced via R41 to the output
voltage level of U10d. When the ramp voltage exceeds the threshold level of U10d the output of the comparator stage
U10e switches high. This fast rising edge, assisted by the speed up capacitor C24, is fed to the RST 6.5 interrupt input of
U3.
4.2.4 PROCESSOR CONTROL U3
After selecting one of the 10 input signals through the switch network of U8, U9 there is a 50 to 60ms pause to allow
U10d to settle. At this point the switch across the integrator U10b is opened initiating a linear ramp output and the 14 bit
counter in U4 is started. Within a time period of 100 ns to 5 ms the ramp will cause a RST6.5 interrupt to occur. The
processor on responding to the interrupt, first stops the counter, then closes the switch across the integrator readying it
for the next cycle. The input switch network U8, U9 can now be stepped to the next input. The 14 bit counter can now be
read and its value equated to the input signal. In this way all 10 input channels are continuously scanned. VR5 is set
Ref. 185040646 MR730/720/700/480 Technical Manual ¯ Revision F ¯ Issued March 2001
during calibration to give the desired ramp rate. Thus all points are scanned once every 500 to 600 ms, self calibration
performed, and the digital display updated.
4.2.5 POWER LINE INTERRUPT (REVISIONS D/F PCBS)
A sample of the power supply frequency is derived from the power transformer 22 Vac secondary via R56 and Q1,
buffered by Schmitt trigger U5f and fed to the RST7.5 interrupt of U3. The operating software determines the supply
frequency facilitating the generation of a real time clock and also enabling a zero crossing detector for triac switching.
The ADC is also phase synchronised with the line frequency thus eliminating any common error from this source.
4.2.6 POWER LINE INTERRUPT (REVISION H PCB AND LATER)
The zero crossing is derived from the 10 Vac secondary. Resistor R61 ensures that the secondary is ground referenced
when the diodes D13 to D16 are not conducting. Network R1, R69, and C2 removes any unwanted noise from the zero
crossing circuit. The operating software determines the supply frequency facilitating the generation of a real time clock
and also enabling a zero crossing detector for triac switching. The ADC is also phase synchronised with the line
frequency thus eliminating any common error from this source.
4.2.7 41 °C COMPARATOR
10
Operational amplifier U10c is a protection circuit to sense excessive delivery temperature rise. The non inverting input
pin 5 is connected directly (via connector J4-1) to the patient airway thermistor. The inverting input goes to an
adjustable divider network R32, VR4, R33. VR4 is set during calibration to ensure that the output pin 7 of U10c is low
above an input temperature of 41 °C. This low output (OVHT) is fed via the isolating diode resistor networks D19, R55
and D20, R61 to clamp the bases of switching transistors Q10 and Q12. In this way, a patient airway temperature greater
than 41 °C causes both heaters to be shut down.
A watch dog failure, which is a high output from U5g, is communicated via isolating diode D11 and resistor R31 to the
inverting input of U10c. This also ensures that both heater control circuits are clamped off in the event of a processor
crash.
4.2.8 HEATERPLATE OVERTEMPERATURE
Thermistor HP senses the heaterplate temperature. Should the heaterplate exceed the maximum heaterplate limit (default
110 °C) during normal operation, power to the heaterplate is discontinued until it cools below this limiting temperature.
Under certain operating conditions, for increased safety, lower maximum heaterplate temperatures can be selected. (See
Appendix A3: Programming Control Options.) Also mounted on the heaterplate is a mechanical 118 °C cut out which will
give protection should the electronic control system fail. This mechanical cut out is connected in series with the power
transformer primary and thus causes complete shut down of the humidifier should a serious fault develop. See § 3.5.1.
4.2.9 WATCH DOG
During operation the processor is continually monitored for correct function. This is done by changing the state of
output port PB7 of U4 every 16.6 or 20 ms (power line frequency interrupt). This square wave, buffered by U5b, is fed to
the charge pump circuitry C16, D4, D5 and C15 which ensures that pin 13 of U5g is held hard up. Should this square
wave be interrupted for any reason, C15 will discharge through R3 giving a high output from pin 12, which drives the
trap interrupt input of U3. This high trap input forces re-initialisation of the processor which may or may not be
successful depending on the nature of the fault. The purpose of this is to ensure that if the processor should fail, and is
unable to re-initialise, it fails in a safe mode. The watch dog circuit is tested every time the humidifier is turned on by
deliberately halting program execution and waiting for initialisation via the watch dog. To indicate that the processor has
failed the high output of U5g also turns on Q3 which lights the ‘see manual’ LED10 and also turns off the display I.C. U7
to blank the digital display.

4.3 POWER BOARD
4.3.1 REVISION D/F PCBS
A bridge rectifier (D13 to D16) supplies power to the 5 V regulator Q7 mounted on the heat sink. This circuit is protected
by a 1 A fuse (F1) mounted on the circuit board. The 5 V negative supply stabilized by Q8, is derived from the voltage
doubling network D17, D18.
The Heater Wire (HHC) is controlled by triac Q9 which is mounted on the heat sink. Q9 is switched by the optoisolator
U11 which in turn is driven by Q10. Q10 is controlled directly from an output port of U4 on the control board.
The resistor R52 connected to the anode of Q9 provides a signal through (HHS) to U5d and U4. This signal, with
processor interpretation, provides the information to determine if the Heater Wire is connected or open circuit and also
the integrity of fuse F2, the 4 A fuse supplying power to the Heater Wire.
Triac Q11 (mounted on the heatsink) is controlled by optoisolator U12, which in turn is controlled by Q12, and HPC.
Transistors Q5 and Q6 are a RS232 level driver for the serial data interface.
4.3.2 REVISION H AND J PCBS
A bridge rectifier (D13 to D16) supplies power to the 5 V regulator Q7 mounted on the heat sink. This circuit is protected
by a 1 A fuse (F1) mounted on the circuit board. The 5 V negative supply stabilized by Q8, is derived from the voltage
doubling network D17, D18.
11
The Heater Wire (HHC) is controlled by triac Q9 which is mounted on the heat sink. Q9 is switched by the optoisolator,
U11, which in turn is driven by Q10. Q10 is controlled directly from an output port of U4 on the control board (HHC).
Resistor R9, C6 form a snubber on the triac. Capacitors C8, C32 balance the heater wire with respect to ground.
Heater wire sensing is accomplished through the optoisolator U13 and associated components R51, R52, D21, R66 and
R67. R51 and R52 limit the current through the LED when the triac is on or off. With the triac off and a heater wire
connected then the optoisolator will remain off. Otherwise if a heater wire is not connected then the optoisolator will be
turned on and off in synchronisation with the secondary cycle. The output of the optoisolator feeds U4 on the control
board. This signal, with processor interpretation, provides the information to determine if the Heater Wire is connected
or open circuit and also the integrity of fuse F2, the 4 A fuse supplying power to the Heater Wire.
Q11 controls power to the heaterplate and is under control of optoisolator U12 and transistor Q12 via an output port
(HPC) on U4 on the control board. Resistors R64, R57 limit the gate current to the triac and with C33 form a snubber for
the triac and the optoisolator.
Transistors Q5 and Q6 are an RS232 level driver for the serial data interface.

5.0 CALIBRATION______________________________________________
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Calibration should be performed after any servicing involving the printed circuit boards. After calibration, perform a
performance check as outlined in § 6.0.
Note: For instructions on disassembly of the unit, refer to § 7.0.
Calibration is facilitated by entering a special Calibration mode. See Appendix A1.
There are only two adjustments VR4 (the 41 °C comparator stage) and VR5 ( setting of the span of the A to D converter).
This calibration procedure may be carried out if the unit is thought to be out of calibration (E0x to E7x error messages in
the display) or if any of the circuit boards have been replaced or repaired. In particular any repair that may have altered
the potential of the ± 5 V rails or component change associated with the A to D converter would require a calibration
check.
Calibration should be checked and performed after the unit has been running for at least twenty minutes; ie after the unit
has warmed up.
5.2 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
♦ 41 °C calibration probe, available in MR700 series calibration kit (Fisher & Paykel part no. 900MR548).
For models with Revision D PCB and earlier:
♦ Heater Wire module.
♦ For MR480 only - jumper connector cable, which consists of two easy hooks connected in series with a 100mm
length of cable and a 22 kΩ resistor.
5.3 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR MODELS WITH REVISION D PCBS OR EARLIER
(Before Serial Number 92XXAAA05495) (See § 9.0 for change history).
1 With models MR730/720/700 ensure that a Heater Wire module is connected, and that the Heater Wire switch is
on (Heater Wire On LED should be on).
2 Plug in the 41 °C calibration probe.
3 Gain access to the adjustment potentiometers VR4 and VR5, by removing the control board from the humidifier
front panel.
4 With model MR480 only connect the jumper cable from pin 7 of U10 to the cathode end of D7 on the control
board.
5 With the Chamber Temp button held down turn on the power switch. Display should show -16 Using the Chamber Temp button step through to number -47 Adjust VR4 slowly so the display just changes from vertical to horizontal bars (|||||| to ===). Back off VR4 and
recheck that VR4 is not rotated past this display transition point.
8 Using the Chamber Temp button step to number -59 Remove the 41 °C calibration probe.
10 Adjust VR5 for a display reading of zero. ( 0)
(This value may drift over time. A deviation of up to ± 2.0 will not affect circuit performance.)
11 Calibration is complete; do performance check (§ 6.0).

6.0 PERFORMANCE CHECK_______________________________________
6.1 INTRODUCTION
This procedure should be used to check the operation and calibration of the MR730/720/700/480. This performance
check should be performed after any servicing, and annually as part of the routine maintenance procedure (see
Appendix B).
Performance can be monitored during the test by using the functions of the Engineering Menu. See Appendix A2.
If there is a desire to confirm the full dynamic operation of the Humidifier, such as after servicing, a full test of the
temperature control of the Humidifier may be performed, see tests detailed in Addendix E.
