Safety Inspection Procedure
1. Fully assemble unit.
2. Perform a leakage and hi-pot test according to UL-544, CSA std C22.2 NO. 125-M1984,
or IEC 601-1 requirements for non patient contact medical equipment as determined by
your biomedical department. Refer to the above standard for the maximum allowable
leakage.
3. Perform a Self-test of the unit as follows:
a. Connect the air hose to the outlet located on the top of the unit.
b. Plug unit into a proper power source as noted on the units rating label.
c. Turn unit on.
d. Press the Self-test button located on the bottom of the unit inside the test port.
The "TEST" lamp will start flashing.
e. Connect the hose to the self-test port.
f. The temperature display will slowly climb into the overtemp area.
g. After the display reaches the red area the "CAUTION" lamp will start to flash
and the alarm will start to sound.
h. After a few seconds the display will start to drop back to the normal operating
range. When this happens the flashing lamps and the alarm should shut off.
There are 2 types of Time-out circuitry used in the LIFE-AIR 1000®, each requires different
testing procedures. The procedure to be used can be determined by looking into the air outlet
on the top of the unit. If there is 1 thermal sensor in the Plenum use procedure #1, if there are
2 sensors use procedure #2.
4. Time-out test Procedure #1:
a. Set the Main Power Switch to the "OFF" Position.
b. Plug the LIFE-AIR 1000®into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
c. Remove the hose from the top of the unit.
d. Set the Heater Control Switch to the "110" setting.

BLOWER AND PLENUM ASSEMBLY
1. Support the Blower and Plenum Assembly while removing the 4 screws from top
hose interface.
2. Unplug the 3 pin harness from the temperature sensor to the Front Panel Control.
Some units may have two 3 pin harnesses to be removed. If this is the case, the
sensors must be marked so that they can be reconnected to the same location when
reassembled. Keep the heat shrink with the plugs. This must be reinstalled to
keep harnesses from vibrating free.
3. Unplug the 4 pin harness connecting the Front Panel Control and the Blower and
Plenum A ssembly.
4. Remove the Green wire from the Blower housing.
5. Remove the assembly from the back of the unit.
6. To remove the Blower from the Plenum assembly remove the 3 or 4 nuts holding
the blower to the Plenum.
FRONT PANEL CONTROL AND FACE PLATE
1. Remove the Blower and Plenum assembly as shown above.
2. Remove the 6 #4 nuts from the studs holding the front panel to the chassis using a
1/4 inch nut driver.
3. Disconnect the brown wire from the Time-out control board. Some units may have
connecters in-line with the brown wire. If this is the case disconnect the wire at
the connecters.
4. Disconnect the White and Black wire harness using the in-line connectors.
5. Disconnect the 2 pin Self-test switch harness from the control board.
6. With a SHARP razor knife carefully cut the silicone sealant between the front

Special Instructions for Installation of the following Assemblies:
Temperature Controller & Faceplate:
When replacing this assembly it is required that a bead of clear Silicone Sealant
be placed around the perimeter of the faceplate to provide a seal. This Assembly is
STATIC SENSITIVE. Proper precautions must be used when removing or
installing this Assembly.
Test Switch Assembly:
When replacing this assembly it is necessary to seal the switch with a piece of
heat-shrink and hot melt glue to provide a seal as done from the factory.
Circuit Breaker:
When replacing this part it must be sealed at the mounting surface and at the
adjustment holes on the top of breaker. Hot melt glue or silicone sealant may be
used for this.
AC Power Cord:
