How to Activate OptiVac Suction Unit Battery Connection?

• The aspirator is shipped with the battery disconnected to prevent the battery from becoming discharged during storage. To connect the battery, the fuse that is attached to the outside of the aspirator must be installed. Place the fuse into the fuse holder located on the back of the unit above the AC power connection. Use a flat blade screwdriver and rotate the fuse holder clockwise approximately 1/8 turn to lock in place. Connect the unit to one of the approved power sources and allow to fully charge.

How to operate Allied OptiVac Suction Unit?

1. Activate unit from one of the three power sources listed:
   • 115 or 230 Volt AC line current
   • Internal rechargeable battery
   • External 12 Volt DC automotive supply
2. Press power switch “I” to turn unit on and “O” to turn it off.
3. To check the degree of vacuum for all models equipped with a gauge and regulator (L190-GR,L190- GRCE,G180 & G180CE), do the following:
   • Pinch off the patient tube. The amount of vacuum, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), will register on the vacuum gauge.
   • Increase the vacuum by turning the regulating knob clockwise. To decrease the vacuum, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
   • Release the pinched tubing
4. For the L190 unit, press the “Hi vacuum” switch to select the high vacuum level. Press the “Lo vacuum “ switch to select the low vacuum level.
5. The battery will recharge, from a condition of low charge, within 8 hours maximum, using either the external 12 Volt DC or 115 or 230 Volt AC power supplies when the unit is idle. When battery is fully charged, charging is automatically stopped and battery is maintained at full charge if charger is connected.
6. When the unit is on, is being charged, or testing battery status (pushing “off” button), the LED’s indicate the state of the battery as follows:
   • Five green LED’s indicate a fully charged battery condition.
   • Four/three green LED’s indicate a normal battery condition, but not fully charged.
   • Two red LED’s indicate a drained battery condition with limited run time.
   • One red LED indicates a drained battery condition, unit will shut down soon.
   • Five red LED’s, during charging only, indicate the battery needs to be replaced.

For optimum battery performance the unit may be left plugged in at all times. The unit will turn the charging circuit “On & Off” to keep the battery at a full charge level.
