What does "H5i setting 3" etc. mean?

Post by popotla » Wed Jul 16, 2014 5:03 am

In a Resmed-published document detailing how current draw varies according to treatment pressure and "setting", the following sub-headings appear.

S9 AutoSet + H5i (EPR Setting 0, H5i setting 3) // S9 AutoSet + H5i (EPR Setting 0, H5i setting 6)

Could someone please explain what "H5i setting 3" and "H5i setting 6" mean? Which setting is being referred to here?

The humidifier setting is being referred to.

An H5i setting of 3 means the humidifier is set to deliver a "medium" amount of added moisture to the air.

An H5i setting of 6 means the humidifier is set to deliver the maximum amount of added moisture that it can.

more moisture=more heat, more heat=more current draw = lower battery life.
