IV. 5. Oxygen Monitor function (optional - mandating for Europe and
certain other countries)
IV. 5. 1. Oxygen Monitor operating principle (oxygen concentration indication
module)
The Oxygen Monitor is an electronic module capable of checking the effective
oxygen concentration supplied by the NEWLIFE ELITE concentrator.
The Oxygen Monitor detects any drop in the concentration below a pre-set level
and activates an audible and visual alarm. A yellow LED indicates a concentra-
tion level of below 85 ± 3%.
When the LED is yellow for more than 15 minutes (± 2
minutes), an intermittent audible alarm is tripped.
Note: when the NEWLIFE ELITE is started, the Oxygen Monitor module operates
as follows:
1) in addition to the normal NEWLIFE ELITE test, the Oxygen Monitor yellow LED
lights up.
2) in principle, the LED remains lit for a few minutes (3 minutes at maximum)
until the concentration of the gas supplied reaches and exceeds 85 ± 3% O .
2
3) The yellow LED is extinguished after this period, showing that the concentra-
tor is operating satisfactorily.
IV. 5. 2. Maintenance of the Oxygen Monitor module:
- No special maintenance is required, The alarm trigger is factory pre-set to 85 ±
3%, and there is no need to alter the settings.
