Chapter 12 Troubleshooting
The table below lists common problems you may have with your BiPAP S/T System and possible
solutions to those problems. If none of the corrective actions listed seem to work, contact your medical
equipment distributor.
Problem
Unit does not operate
when turned on.
Unit stops and starts.
No air flow from the unit.
Possible Causes
Power cord not firmly connected
to the unit or the wall outlet.
Unit not connected to a “live”
outlet.
Unit fuse(s) has blown.
Power cord not securely
connected to the unit
or the outlet.
Voltage selector switch is set
incorrectly.
Possible internal problem.
Corrective Action
Check that the power cord is
plugged into the unit and into the
wall outlet.
Check to ensure that the unit is
plugged into a “live” outlet (e.g.,
plug a working lamp into the outlet.)
Replace the fuses. See Section 11.2.
Note: Always replace both fuses at
the same time. Verify that the
voltage selector switch
setting is correct. If the new
fuses blow out, contact your
medical equipment
distributor.
Check that the power cord is
completely connected at the rear of
the unit and at the outlet.
Verify that the voltage selector
switch is not set too high (i.e., your
electrical line is 115 V but your
switch is set on 230 V).
Call your medical equipment
distributor. Obtain a
replacement unit.
