( Figure 5-1 )
Input voltage (mains) 50/60 Hz Input current
VH3000-110 90 – 130V < 0.60A
VH3000-220 180 – 260V < 0.30A
Testing Purpose:
Make sure power module output is correct.

9.6 Burn-in Test
Test Lung
Ventilator
a. As shown above, please connect VH3000 and breathing circuits to the ventilator
for simulation.
b. Set the ventilator flow for 10LPM.
c. Set the VH3000 at heater wire mode with +39 / -2 level.
d. As disconnect the temperature probe ( blue one ) which is connected on the side
of VH3000, temperature probe alarm will be sounded immediately.
e. As disconnect the heater wire cable ( yellow one ) which is connected on the side
of VH3000, heater wire cable alarm will be sounded immediately.
f. Please connect VH30T000-4038 to VH3000, temperature reading will show wye
at 40.0±0.1℃, chamber at 38.0±0.1℃.
VH30T000-4038
g. Connect back temperature probe and heater wire cable.

h. After one-hour burn-in test at least, temperature can be controlled stably at 39 ±
2℃ for wye, 37±2℃ for chamber.
Testing Purpose:
Use a VH-3000 humidifier to test temperature probe accuracy.
Make sure heater wire I/O is normal
Make sure heater plate I/O is normal.
