Alarms and Indicators
DOSE COMP
OCC/EMP
BATTERY INDICATOR
AC POWER INDICATOR
DOSE COMPLETE
•This indicator flashes and pump stops when
the quantity of formula delivered reaches
the dose limit setting. There will be two
beeps with a flashing indicator. This is
repeated very 2.5 minutes until action is
taken.
OCCLUSION/EMPTY ALARM
•When the pump is running, this alarm indicator
is activated and pump stops if:
oThe feeding container is empty
oAn occlusion has stopped delivery
oThe pump is left on SToP for more than
2.5 minutes
oThe drip chamber is installed improperly
BATTERY INDICATOR
•When operating on battery power, this
indicator shows solid yellow. Approximately
15 minutes before the battery is discharged,
the light will flash, an alarm will sound. The
pump will not restart if stopped at this time.
AC POWER INDICATOR
•When plugged into AC power, this indicator
always shows solid green indicating the battery
