S9 Problem
S9 Problem
I've just noticed a potential problem with my S9 machine. Normally when I wake up in the morning and remove the mask, the machine continues expelling air for a few seconds then stops. This morning I've found the machine just continues producing air with a warning notice on the screen saying High Leakage warning. Could this be an issue with the mask or machine ?

Re: S9 Problem
Just checked settings menu - Smart start is enabled, and machine starts correctly when I put the mask on. It's just that it doesn't stop expelling air when I remove the mask. I guess I can just turn the machine off manually so it's not a major issue.

Re: S9 Problem
Me too - letting Smartstart stop the machine also screws up your leakage stats too by reporting the shut down as a long large leak. Not so smart after all, huh?

Re: S9 Problem
make sure your mask selection settings are correct, among other things, it's used by the machine in determining when the mask is removed, vs when you have a large leak.

Re: S9 Problem
funny, unlike the prs1 machine, my s9's almost never show a large leak when they smart stop.englandsf wrote:Me too - letting Smartstart stop the machine also screws up your leakage stats too by reporting the shut down as a long large leak. Not so smart after all, huh?
note two smart stops below and no excess leak:

Re: S9 Problem
Ditto, my s9 doesn't show a spike either. I never use the button on or off.

Re: S9 Problem
mask settings are all correct. The fact it used to stop by itself when I removed the mask and now doesn't makes me think there's a fault with the machine. Was using machine last night without humidifier when this happened. Will see what happens tonight when humidifier is reconnected. Will also try a new mask if this might be part of the issue.

Re: S9 Problem
One of my S9s does, it appears - and I'll test the other next time I travel.

Re: S9 Problem
Quick update - last night reconnected humidifier and changed mask....and everything is working normally again ! Oh, well at least the problem seems to have gone away.

Re: S9 Problem
Did you unplug the power while doing this? I wonder if that might be the difference. Had you unplugged the power after it started doing this?Magicdave wrote:Quick update - last night reconnected humidifier and changed mask....and everything is working normally again !

Are you still using the full face mask?
