How do I adjust this thing?

Post by Lee Lee » Sun Apr 13, 2014 12:20 pm

Hi,
I have a new Resmed S9 machine, and I can't adjust the humidity level?
I was reading online and it seems the Lincare lady has it set up in Auto mode. Can I change the humidity?
Thanks someone!

Yes you can, and you can set your machine up so you can adjust temp and humidification independently (Manual mode).
Check out the S9 video tutorial I have linked to in my signature box -- you'll see how to do it.

More detailed info on Auto vs. Manual Climate Control mode (from the Climateline hose User Manual):
Climate Control Auto
The recommended (default) setting for Climate Control is Auto mode. In
Auto mode, you have the ability to adjust air temperature (61-86°F (16-30°C))
depending on preference. Based on your selected air temperature, Climate
Control automatically adjusts the humidifier output to maintain a constant,
comfortable humidity level of 80% relative humidity while protecting against
rainout. In Auto mode the default air temperature is set to 80°F (27°C).

Climate Control Manual
If enabled by the clinician, Climate Control can also be set to
Manual. In this mode, air temperature and humidity can be
set independently, providing you greater flexibility but without
the rainout protection guaranteed in Auto mode. In this mode,
air temperature (61–86°F (16–30°C)) and humidity level (0–6)
can be set independently. If rainout occurs, either increase air
temperature or decrease the humidity setting.
