Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Will not pressurise / hold pressure
HighSymptoms: Chamber will not reach treatment pressure, or pressure bleeds off; long compression time.
Root cause: Compressor / air-supply fault, a door / hatch seal leak, a relief-valve fault, or a control-valve fault.
O2 delivery / concentration fault
MediumSymptoms: Delivered O2 low, O2-supply alarm, mask / hood not delivering.
Root cause: O2 supply / regulator, the delivery valve, or (concentrator-fed units) the concentrator.
Environmental-control fault (temperature / humidity)
MediumSymptoms: Chamber too hot / cold or humid, patient discomfort alarms.
Root cause: Chamber A/C or ventilation fault.
Communication / monitoring fault
MediumSymptoms: No intercom to the patient, monitoring parameters missing.
Root cause: Intercom or the pass-through monitoring connections.
Acrylic / viewport / seal wear
LowSymptoms: Crazing in the acrylic, worn door seal, fogging.
Root cause: Acrylic ageing (has a service life) or a worn seal.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not pressurise or hold pressure
- Confirm the air supply / compressor delivers to spec.
- Inspect the door / hatch seal and sealing surfaces.
- Check the relief and control valves for leak-by.
- Run a pressure-hold test.
- Replace the seal or refer the valve / compressor fault; do not treat until the chamber holds pressure safely.
Symptom: O2 delivery fault
- Confirm the O2 supply pressure and regulator.
- Check the mask / hood and delivery valve.
- Verify delivered O2 with an analyser.
- For concentrator-fed units, service the concentrator.
- Replace the regulator / delivery valve as isolated.
