SIGNAL 1 with SYSTEM HEALTH
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pressurized air and vacuum from the system may cause personnel injury or property damage
if the unit is improperly operated or maintained. The operator should have carefully read and
become familiar with the contents of this manual before installing, wiring, starting, operating,
adjusting, and maintaining the system. The operator is expected to use common sense safety
precautions, good workmanship practices and follow any related local safety precautions.
• Safety Precautions
In Addition:
• Before starting any installation or maintenance procedures, disconnect all power to the
package.
• All electrical procedures must be in compliance with all national, state, and local codes and
requirements.
• A certified electrician should connect all wiring
• Refer to the electrical wiring diagram provided with the unit before starting any installation or
maintenance work.
• Release all pressure/vacuum from the package before removing, loosening, or servicing
any covers, guards, fittings, connections, or other devices.
• Notify appropriate hospital personnel if repairs or maintenance will affect available
compressed air/vacuum levels.
• AIR: Air inlet must be placed in an area free of toxic or hazardous contaminants. It must be
kept away from ETO exhaust vents, vacuum exhaust vents, areas close to automotive
exhausts, etc., in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA 99.
• Prior to using the medical system, the facility must have a certifier perform all installation
test as specified in the latest edition of NFPA 99 and is responsible for ensuring that the
Air/Vacuum meets the minimum requirements as specified in the latest edition of NFPA 99.
• This is a high speed, rotating piece of machinery. Do not attempt to service any part while
machine is in operation.
• Do not operate unit without safety devices (belt guards, shields, screens, etc.) in place.
• Make sure that all loose articles, packing material, and tools are clear of the package.
• Check all safety devices periodically for proper operation.
• AIR: Never operate a compressor with its isolation (shutoff) valve closed or without its relief
valve in place. Damage to the compressor may occur.
• Check compressor/vacuum requirements to see if oil is necessary for operation.
• The “HAND” mode of operation should only be used for emergencies such as PLC
malfunction and should not be used for normal operation.
• Electrical service must be the same as specified on the control panel nameplate or damage
to the equipment may occur.
• Vibration during shipment and operation can loosen electrical terminals, fuse inserts, and
mechanical connections. Tighten as necessary.
• Refer to the electrical diagram provided with the unit before starting any installation or
performing any maintenance work.
• Do not operate on a voltage other than the voltage specified on the system nameplate.
• All customer wiring should be in compliance with the National Electrical Code and any other
applicable state or local codes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• SYSTEM SETUP (continued)
One of the features of System Health is the reading of amps thru the overload. The overloads
ID number has to be set-up when installed. All ID’s are 1 by default. If the overload and
XCOM are replaced, the address will have to be setup with this procedure.
1. Login on this screen: Login for Trained Service Personnel ONLY
2. Turn OFF XCOM RUN to XCOM SETUP.
3. Current address should be 1 (and this is default in the box on left)
4. Use “arrows” to define the number of the newly installed XCOM/overload (module 4 is #4)
5. Unplug all cables from XCOM modules except one being programmed.
6. Press XCOM LOAD button; button should light up, then turn OFF; this means a good write
7. Plug up all XCOM cables
8. Reboot PLC, HMI, and XCOMS (pull F15)
9. To check if working, the RS-485 RD & SD lights should be solid or very fast blink. If PLC
ERROR light comes ON and lights are not solid, then there is a communication/read error.
