'Fine' adjustment on the 9000 D

What does this 'fine' adjustment control on the DiVilbiss 9000 D CPAP?

It's setting range appears to be 1 - 4.

Is it for setting the ramp feature? There are four delay times: 10,20,30 45 minute delay times.
Hope this helps. Most folks on this site use Res-Med or Respironics products. DeVilbiss (Sunrise Medical) not popular here. But, stay with us, as lots and lots of general helpful info here.

No... the 'fine' adjustment is something else. The ramp feature is as you say ... 10 min, 20 min, etc. and a different item on the Menu

Still wondering what it is.

I've got the same machine....as has been said we are most definitely in the minority on this forum. It's nothing fancy, but it IS extremely quiet and I kind of like it. Wish it had software and all kinds of info to share with me, that's my only gripe. That and the fact it's ugly.

Got out my manual....The model 9000 has a "Fine Adjustment" described as follows: Fine adjustment for fine tuning pressure using an external manometer. I actually have the 9001--main difference seems to be that it automatically adjusts to altitude instead of needing a manual adjustment--and my machine doesn't have a "Fine adjustment" on it. Then you can't fine tune pressure??? Oh well....

It's good to know that the machine is apparently good on altitude up to 9000 feet. I guess. But I live at 7800 feet and then if you actually go into Vail, Breckenridge, etc., I'm pretty sure you can easily top 9000 feet? So apparently the AHI's will be more frequent in mountain towns.
