Has anyone ever done the humidifier calibration? I am trying to do them now on the older models, the ones with the orange displays and I cannot get them to pass. It keeps failing the cals. I am following the service manual instructions.
1. Take the cap off the humidity calibration bottle and add one half cap full of sterile distilled water to the
bottle. Shake the bottle to thoroughly mix the salt and water solution. Place the smaller end of the elbow
over the bottle.
2. Slide the elbow over the humidity sensor (mounted on the back wall) until it stops. This creates a 75% RH environment for the sensor.
3. Hold the override key while powering up to enter the service screen.
4. On the second service screen, select Cal RH. The screen will prompt “Push knob when RH reading is stable.” Wait for 20 minutes or until the RH display stabilizes (does not change by more than 1% in 5 minutes).
5. Depress the control knob to complete the calibration. On software revision 1.3 and higher, you will have
the option to select STABLE, SET TO DEFAULT or EXIT. STABLE initiates calibration. SET TO DEFAULT resets calibration values back to factory default settings. If you started calibration by mistake (without the
calibration bottle in place, for example) you would select SET TO DEFAULT and then calibrate the unit. If you have entered the calibration routine by mistake, select EXIT to leave without initiating calibration.
6. If “RH Sensor Calibration Completed” is displayed, the calibration is complete. Depress the knob to exit the Cal RH routine.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Whether I am not filling the water in the cap right or am I supposed to fill the reservoir with water before proceeding, although the service manual doesn't call for it. If anyone has any ideas what I am doing wrong I'd appreciate the assist. Thanks.
Does anyone know where the Oxygen Sensors are in the GE OmniBeds? I am using the most up to date service manual to locate them and where it points me to them, that is the fan motor. I know our O2 sensors have never been replaced. Do all the OmniBeds have O2 sensors or do some not have them? Question #2, when I order the calibration kit for the humidifier calibration, would one be enough for the 6 OmniBeds I have or will I need more than one? I would ask GE but of course they would want a PO. I've also never done the Servo cal. Like I said, no one has ever replaced the O2 sensors on these things if they even have them. I have never been able to find them.
We are currently using a Dräger Isolette 2000 in our unit and wanted to see if others are still actively supporting or maintaining this model. Have you encountered any common issues related to temperature stability, humidity control, or alarm calibration over time? Also curious about parts availability and recommended preventive maintenance intervals, given the age of this incubator. Any shared experience or tips would be appreciated
I am having problems with a GE Panda iRes infant warmer; indicating Sys Fail 9 - AA 50 00 00, Sys Fail 9 - 0A 50 00 00, Sys Fail 9 - 0A 80 00 00. I have replaced both power PCA and control PCA. I swapped ribbon cable out from another warmer and still have these errors. Can anyone tell me what else could my issue be. The error code in the service manual tells me this is a heater control processor failure during run time, either the safety relay is open or the open t-stat or heater control failure. I am at a loss and of course GE wants a PO to talk to me. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Getting intermittent System Error 0. Check the service manual and did all that it asks...scale cable and battery change. No help. this unit even reboots in the service mode. GE tells me that my unit is End of Life and will only have an engineer come out and I cannot talk to Tech Support.
Anyone ever have this issue? I'm thinking I may have a board bad, but which one???
