This block was introduced in V1.074.
It's part of the games Oxygen system. An air vent must be connected to a source of oxygen in order to distribute breathable O2 to the room.
Valid sources are for example an Oxygen Generator or an Oxygen Tank.
The air vent has to be connected to those blocks either directly by it's conveyor port on the back, or by connecting it to an existing Conveyor Network where at least one oxygen source block is present. (see above)
Air vent state indicator
On the front of the air vent are 4 indicators that show the current status of the vent and also deliver some information about the room the vent is installed in.

Air vent is pressurizing the room. The number of indicators shows the current room pressure. 1: O2 level < 25%, 2: 25% <= O2 level < 50%, 3: 50% <= O2 level < 75%, 4: O2 level > 75% |

Air vent set to "Depressurize". It draws O2 fromt he room until it's empty. The number of indicators shows the remaining room pressure. 4: O2 level > 75%, 3: 50% <= O2 level < 75%, 2: 25% <= O2 level < 50%, 1: O2 level < 25% |

Room is not sealed against the open space. Air vent can't pressurize it. |
