The AMICO Medical Gas Alarm System (ALERT-2) incorporates the latest microprocessor technology for alarm and
surveillance systems. The alarm has been designed to provide user flexibility and reliability. This manual will enable the
customer to install, use and maintain the alarm properly.
All Gases or Vacuum are displayed with large Red LED’s for clear visibility. To facilitate the monitoring function by hospital
personnel, a trend bar is provided to show the direction of the gas/vacuum pressure. Under normal operation, the gas
trend indicator will be in the GREEN - OK position. If the gas pressure approaches alarm condition, the trend indicator
will display a YELLOW - Caution indicator. If an alarm condition occurs, a RED-Alarm indicator will be displayed and the
buzzer will sound.
There are two buttons located on the front face of the Annunciator module. They are the “TEST” and “ALARM MUTE”
buttons. The function of the “Test” button is to verify that the buzzer and all the alarm LED’s are in normal working condition.
The function of the “Alarm Mute” button is to silence an alarm that has occurred.
A master status module monitors source equipment such as: Oxygen, Nitrous Oxide, Air compressors, Vacuum pumps,
Air dryers, high/low pressure switches, etc. This module can be connected to a “Building Management System”, with a
piggy-back computer interface board, that attaches to the master module.
