Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System Provider Technical Manual
The DC Power Supply is designed for 12VDC minimum vehicle
electrical systems. Do not attempt to operate with 6V, 24V, or other
vehicle electrical system.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the DC Power Supply and the
Eclipse 5.
• Ensure the DC Power Supply and Eclipse 5 are secured in the vehicle
so that is does not become a projectile in the event of a sudden
stop.
• DO NOT operate the Eclipse 5 on DC power while the vehicle
engine is off. In such a scenario, the Eclipse 5 could quickly drain
the vehicle's battery.
When operating an Eclipse 5 5 with the DC power supply, the power
cartridge will only recharge if there is sufficient excess voltage from
what the concentrator requires to operate.
