Humidifier tubing

Post by Hawthorne » Wed Feb 24, 2016 10:43 am

I recently go the heated hose and humidifier lid setup so that I could use the heated hose on my System one series 60 auto machine.
I am not sure i like the heated hose. I am wanting to switch to regular tubing (either 22 or 15) to see if I am happier with that. If I am reading the manual correctly, I can leave the lid with the heated hose on the humidifier and just change the tubing. It will fit. Am I correct? I know the heated tubing will not show in the setup screen then but, I will have the option of System one humidity or classic humidity. Am I correct in thsi as well?
Thanks.

Yes you can use regular 22mm or slim 15mm tubing. I have used regular tubing.

• SYSTEM ONE humidification - System One humidity control maintains a consistent mask humidity by monitoring and
adjusting for changes in room temperature and room humidity. You can enable or disable this feature. If the System One
humidity control has been disabled, the classic style of basic temperature controlled heated humidification will be used. This
will only display if the humidifier is attached.
• Humidifier - This setting allows you to choose the desired humidity setting: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. If the System One humidity
control has been disabled, the classic style of basic temperature controlled heated humidification will be used and the
display will show: 0, C1, C2, C3, C4 or C5 for these settings. This will only display if the humidifier is attached. Please refer
to the humidifier manual if using a humidifier.
