6. Packaging

The HAMILTON-T1 ventilator is shipped in protective packaging. Ensure the original packaging and protective material are stored for later use, as they will protect the equipment if it needs to be moved.

NOTICE: The breathing set is not included for all countries.

7. Installing the Oxygen Connector

NOTICE: For 1610060 and 1610090 devices, the DISS or NIST oxygen connector is preassembled during production.

Remove the yellow protective cap (1) from the high-pressure oxygen inlet.
Use a Torx TX 10 screwdriver to remove the two screws (2).

Figure 7-1: Removing the yellow protective cap and screws from the high-pressure oxygen inlet.

Position the DISS or NIST connector (3) in its housing and push it into place.

CAUTION: Make sure the two holes for the screws in the connector (3) match the ones in the ventilator. Use the figure below as a reference.
CAUTION: Make sure the connector (3) is correctly placed and fully inserted in its housing.

For additional information, see the Oxygen Connectors Set Installation Guide (PN 612219).

Install the two screws (2). Use a Torx TX 10 screwdriver to tighten the two screws (2).

Figure 7-2: Installing the DISS/NIST connector.

8. Installing the O2 Sensor

Use a size 2 slotted screwdriver to remove the screw (2).
Tilt out and remove the filter cover (1).

Figure 8-1: Removing the filter cover.

Check the presence of the O2 sensor (5).

CAUTION: Do not switch on the ventilator if the O2 sensor (5) is not correctly installed. Contact Hamilton Medical for assistance.

NOTICE: If the O2 sensor (5) is already mounted to the ventilator, remove the cell plug (4) and check that the O2 sensor (5) is tightly mounted into its housing. In case of movement, tighten the O2 sensor (5) by turning it clockwise.
Afterwards, reconnect the cell plug (4), reinstall the filter cover (2) and secure it in position with the screw (1).

Remove the yellow protective cap (3) from the O2 sensor housing.

Figure 8-2: Removing the yellow protective cap from the O2 sensor housing.

Align the O2 sensor (5) with the screw thread in the housing. Then, turn the O2 sensor (5) clockwise to tighten it.
Insert the cell plug (4) into the O2 sensor (5).

Figure 8-3: Installing the O2 sensor.

Attach the air filter cover (1) removed earlier. Reinstall the screw (2) to secure the filter cover (1) to the ventilator.

9. Connecting the Power Sources

Before proceeding with the installation, see the Connecting to a power source Chapter of the HAMILTON-T1 Operator's Manual (PN 10101879).

9.1. Installing the Battery

NOTICE: For 1610060 and 1610090 devices, the battery is preassembled during production.

The HAMILTON-T1 ventilator is a class II device according to IEC 60601-1. Therefore, it does not require any protective earth grounding.
Before installing the ventilator, always check the reliability of the chosen power source (AC or DC).

Carefully open the battery door (1) on the front of the ventilator.
Insert the battery (2) in the compartment on the right.

NOTICE: As soon as the battery (2) is fully inserted, the ventilator will turn on automatically. Wait until all security checks are carried out and, when the main screen is displayed, turn the ventilator off by pressing and holding for three seconds the power button. If a second battery is available, insert it in the compartment on the left.

Figure 9-1: Installing the primary battery.

Place the battery cap (5) to close the compartment on the right with the previously installed primary battery (2) inside.
Use a Torx TX 10 screwdriver to tighten the two screws (3) provided.

NOTICE: Make sure the battery retaining lock (4) for the second battery is properly closed, even if the second battery is not installed. An open battery retain lock (4) will not allow the battery door (1) to close.

Carefully close the battery door (1).

Figure 9-2: Mounting the battery cap.

9.2. Connecting the AC Power Cord

The primary power supply for the HAMILTON-T1 ventilator is AC between 100 and 240 V and between 50 and 60 Hz.
Before installing the ventilator, check the location of the AC plugs and make sure to have enough free space to easily disconnect the power supply whenever needed.
To avoid unintentional disconnections, always secure the AC power cord with the provided cable clamp.

Use a Torx TX 10 screwdriver to remove the screw (2) and release the cable clamps (3).
Connect the AC power cord to the AC socket (1) on the ventilator.

Figure 9-3: Removing the cable clamps.

Choose between the two cable clamps (3), the one matching the AC power cord size. Use the small clamp for GBR and EU power cords and the big clamp for USA and CHN power cords.
Position the chosen cable clamp (3) on the AC power cord near the provided hole.
Use a Torx TX 10 screwdriver to reinstall the screw (2) and fix the cable clamp to the ventilator.

Figure 9-4: Installing the AC power cord.

Connect the other end of the AC power cable to a suitable AC power supply.
After switching on the ventilator, the power symbol (4) will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Figure 9-5: Power and battery symbols on the display.

NOTICE: If the second battery is installed, a second battery icon is also displayed on the screen.
