System Operation
During normal operation, the fire suppression system control panel remains in a
supervisory mode. In order for the fire suppression system to discharge the dispersant, a
number of events must first occur. When these events begin to occur, the fire suppression
system control panel enters into what is called a “counting mode”.
If one smoke detector goes into alarm, the following steps will occur.
1. The bell will sound continuously.
2. The red LED marked “Zone 1” and “Zone 2” located on the front cover of the fire
suppression system control panel will illuminate.
3. The HVAC system will shutdown.
4. The roll door will close (if applicable).
5. The “System Alarm” LED will illuminate.
If no other smoke detector goes into alarm, the fire system control panel will remain in
alarm condition until the control panel is manually reset. To reset the control panel, open
the front cover, and depress the system reset button.
If a second smoke detector goes into alarm, the following steps will occur in addition to the
previously mentioned steps.
1. Both red LED’s marked “Zone 1” and “Zone 2” located on the front cover of the fire
suppression system control panel will now be illuminated.
2. The horn will pulse (on-off-on-off, etc.).
3. The bell will silence.
4. The strobe light will begin to flash.
5. A 30 second time delay will begin.
6. After 20 seconds have passed, the dispersant will be discharged. (Total discharge
time is normally less than 10 seconds.)
a. The LED marked “RELEASE” located on the front cover of the fire
suppression system control panel will illuminate.
b. The horn will sound continuously indicating that the dispersant is being
discharged.
c. The medical system will shutdown.
d. The rear service exhaust fan will shutdown.
e. The fire remote contacts located in the remote box in the underbody
compartment will state.
Pull Station

counter. All personnel must be out of the unit before the dispersant is
discharged.
An abort switch is located next to the
staff door in Control Room. When this
switch has been activated, the 20-
second timer will be reset.
The system will stay in the reset mode
as long as the reset switch is held in
position.
Once the reset switch has been
released, the timer will resume the
countdown starting at 20 seconds.
If for some reason the dispersant must
be shortly postponed from discharging,
use the abort switch.

Sensor Maintenance
DO: Check the sensor for damage or leaks before use. DO: recalibrate after replacing the sensor.
DON'T: Immerse the Rl7MED sensor in liquid.
DON'T: Autoclave the Rl7MED sensor.
DON'T: Open or try to repair the sensor.
Before every use, the sensor, cable and connections should be checked. Check the sensor for
leaks and condensation. Check the cable for splitting or cracked insulation. Make sure the
connections are tight and dry.
In the event that the sensor has been damaged, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet in the
Appendix for handling guidelines.
Calibration
Incorrect readings can often be traced to improper calibration. The MX300-I should be calibrated
before each use and every 8 hours to maintain accuracy. It must be calibrated whenever new
batteries are installed. Calibration using methods other than described below can lead to improper
operation and are discouraged.
Whenever new batteries are installed or removed for any reason, the oxygen monitor defaults to
the calibration mode with the LCD display flashing 00.0. Only the CAL and ON/OFF (I/O) keys are
functional at this point. After calibration is completed, the alarm set points will need to be reset.
To calibrate the instrument refer to the procedures below:
The MX300-I should be calibrated before each use and every 8 hours to maintain accuracy.
Whenever new batteries are installed or removed for any reason, the oxygen monitor defaults to
the calibration mode with the LCD display flashing 00.0. Only the CAL and ON/OFF (I/O) keys are
functional at this point. On the MX300-I monitor, the alarm set points will also need to be reset after
calibration is completed.
Note: For first time and for routine maintenance calibrations, make sure the sensor and
sensor cable are installed correctly before attempting to calibrate the instrument
1. Turn the unit on by pressing the ON/OFF (I/O) key.
2. Check the batteries by pressing the BAT key.
3. If the LCD is not flashing, press the LOCKIUNLOCK key to unlock the keys. LCD will flash
indicating changes can be made to the settings. If the batteries have just been installed the
LCD will flash 00.0
4. As with most oxygen analyzer(s) the highest level of accuracy is achieved when calibration
is conducted using 100% oxygen. After installing the flow diverter, insert the sensor into the
plastic tee and connect to a supply of pure dry oxygen flowing at 1-2 liters per minute.
Note: An accessory calibration assembly (PIN C53790) is available from Teledyne for
use with the R17MED sensor
5. Wait about 20 seconds to insure the sample line is completely purged with the calibration
gas. Press the CAL key. The LCD will count down from 9 to 0. During this time the
microprocessor is measuring the sensor output to determine the gas concentration and
selects the calibration range i.e.100% or 20.9%. When the calibration is complete the LCD
will display the gas value. Press the LOCK/UNLOCK key to save the calibration data.

10264-D01-06
Page 133 of 146
Note: The MX300-I can only be calibrated using 100% oxygen or room air 20.9%.
Improper calibration or use of other gas concentrations will activate the -√ SENSOR
indicator. To repeat the calibration press the LOCK/UNLOCK key and press the CAL
key.
6. Remove the sensor from the oxygen supply and confirm the LCD reads less than 22% in
room air. It is not necessary for it to read exactly 20.9%.
7. It is important to perform the calibration carefully and thoroughly, using calibration gases
that are free from contaminates. Wait for a stable reading before locking in calibration
point. The accuracy of the instrument is only as good as the procedure used to calibrate it.
Note: A single point air calibration is not recommended unless the sensor can be
exposed to a known source of fresh outdoor air. Hospital room air is often enriched
with excess oxygen, which will introduce errors into the calibration. Air calibration
should only be used for monitoring oxygen levels between 21% and 40% and should
never be used where a high degree of accuracy is needed.
Note: Never calibrate the unit in humidified gas, as water vapor makes the oxygen
concentration appear lower than it really is.
Do not adjust the calibration settings in air after the 100% calibration,
as this will cancel the more accurate 100% calibration. The 100%
calibration may be repeated as many times as desired.
8. Adjust alarm set points to desired level according to the procedures below.
9. Press the LOCKIUNLOCK key to hold settings. The unit is now ready for use.
Alarms
To set the alarms on the MX300-I monitor, refer to the procedure below.
Note: Before attempting to change the alarms it is necessary to unlock the control keys by
pressing the LOCK/UNLOCK key. When pressed, the display will start flashing.
To set the alarms on the MX300-I monitor:
1. To set the HI alarm: Press the HI ALARM SET key once. Press the UP and DOWN
arrow key until the desired value is displayed in the lower right comer of the display.
Note: The HI and LO alarms may be defeated by setting the HI alarm limit one
step above 100%. The display will blink ALARM OFF continually in this mode.
2. To set the LO alarm, press the LO ALARM SET key once. Press the UP and DOWN
arrow key to select a value. A built-in safety feature will not allow you to select a LO
alarm value less than 18%.
Note: The MX300-I Portable Oxygen Monitor is designed to prevent crossing of
HI/LO alarm settings. If you attempt to set the La alarm higher than the HI alarm,
it will push the HI alarm setting up as you continue to raise the LO alarm set
point. This also applies when attempting to set the HI alarm lower than the LO
alarm.

3. To test the alarms, unlock the controls by pressing the LOCK/UNLOCK key and then
press ALARM TEST key. The Lo alarm followed by the HI alarm will blink and the
audible visual alarm will are activated for about 1 second.
4. To silence the alarm buzzer for 115 seconds press the alarm silence key (u) (flashing
red indicator light).
5. To disable the alarms set the high alarm set point above 100%.
Note: When the alarm is in the OFF condition (set point above 100%) the ALARM
OFF status message blinks slowly on the LCD below the oxygen readout.
Gas Sampling
Humidity
Humidity does not directly affect the accuracy of the sensor's measurement. However,
when a nebulizer or other device is used to increase moisture levels in gas mixtures, the
moisture actually dilutes the mixture. This dilution effect decreases the oxygen
concentration.
For example, if an 80% oxygen gas mixture is humidified to saturation at room
temperature, the resulting gas mixture will contain only 77.5% oxygen. Your portable
oxygen monitor accurately measures decreases in the oxygen concentration due to the
dilution effects of moisture added to gas mixtures.
As with all oxygen sensors, excessive condensation on the sensing surface of the Rl7MED
will block the diffusion of oxygen to the sensor, rendering it inoperative. We recommend
installing the sensor on the dry side of the breathing circuit at all times.
Temperature
The Rl7MED oxygen sensor adjusts for ambient temperature changes in the range of 0-
40°C (32-106°F). Since the thermistor that compensates for these changes is located in
the rear of the sensor assembly, it is important that gas mixtures, flowing over the front of
the sensor, be at room temperature. Reading errors may occur if hot gases from a heated
humidifier are directed past a sensor teed into a breathing circuit.
A small thermal tracking error may be encountered in application areas where the entire
sensor assembly is placed in the gas mixture to be analyzed (e.g., incubators). Holding the
sensor in your hand for more than a few minutes can also affect the temperature tracking
which appears as a slow drift on the LCD. No adjustments should be made during this
period since this error will be eliminated when both the thermistor and sensing electrode
have had sufficient time to come to thermal equilibrium. This can take up to 2 hours.

Page 135 of 146
Pressure
Virtually all gas sensors and monitors measure the partial pressure, not the percentage, of
the gas that they sense. The only time that these instruments can accurately read
percentages is when the total pressure does not vary over time between calibrations and
use. For this reason it is important to calibrate the MX300-I oxygen sensor at regular
intervals. It is recommended that the unit be calibrated prior to each use or every 8 hours.
When the sensor is connected to a ventilator circuit, the alternating "breathing" pressure
cycles generated by the ventilator will be sensed as an increase in the oxygen percentage
(especially if the sensor is fast enough to sense the changes, as is the RI7MED). In reality,
the percentage of oxygen is not changing; it is the total pressure that is increasing
producing a corresponding increase in the partial pressure of oxygen. A hundred
centimeter of water pressure pulse will produce a 0.11 atmosphere, or an 11 % increase in
the total and therefore partial pressure of oxygen. Assuming that the sensor is fast enough
to track this pressure pulse, an un-pressurized reading of 50% oxygen will increase to
55.3% if the sensor is subjected to a pressure cycle of 100cm H20. The reading will rise
proportionally less for smaller pressures.
Discrepancy in Readings
The MX300-I instrument should be used to measure the oxygen concentration exiting
another oxygen mixing device or life support system (i.e., a blender, incubator or
anesthesia machine). The information obtained from the MX300-I should never be used to
adjust a life-support system, but should only be used as an indication that the life support
system or device may require service and/or calibration.
When a discrepancy in oxygen readings is detected, the oxygen analyzers readings should
be verified by checking the MX300-I battery condition and calibration using 100% Oxygen.
If the monitor can be calibrated, the unit can be assumed to be in good working order and
capable of providing readings to specification. If, after reinstalling the unit, the discrepancy
in oxygen readings persists, the problem is most likely elsewhere (i.e., flow blockage,
primary device error, etc.). Further investigation should be made until the discrepancy in
readings is resolved. The troubleshooting section of this manual may provide additional
assistance in locating the problem.

Troubleshooting
The MX300-I oxygen monitor provides a variety of built-in safety features that prevents its use
when a fault is detected. When a unit displays the message -√ SENSOR and sounds the audible
and visual alarm continuously, it is an indication of a faulty connection between the sensor and the
unit or an expired or faulty sensor. To determine where the difficulty lies, refer to the following
guidelines in Table 1.

Note: In the event that none of these procedures produce desired results, remove the
batteries and return the unit to Teledyne for repair.
Watchdog
The MX300-I is equipped with a watchdog circuit that continuously monitors the electronics for
proper operation. If the watchdog detects a failure, one of the following codes will appear on the
LCD.
The error codes can appear on the LCD when batteries are first installed, during normal operation
or if the unit is subjected to extreme shock. In some cases an additional digit is used in the error
code to supply additional information. For example, the error code 6 and 7 are followed by another
digit listed as (N) in Table 2. The error code 65 would indicate that a key is stuck and this key is the
Silence key.
In addition to supplying visual error codes, the audio device will beep a number of times to indicate
the general error in case the display is not functional.
NOTE: To reset the watchdog error code. Remove one battery for 5 seconds and replace. If
the error persists contact your local representative or Teledyne for assistance.
