WARNING: OPERATING THE SAROS OUTSIDE OF THE RECOMMENDED OPERATING TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT
MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT DEVICE PERFORMANCE, MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE AND WILL VOID THE WAR-
RANTY IF THIS OCCURS.
WARNING: OPERATING THE SAROS UNDER HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN HIGH
PRODUCT GAS TEMPERATURE.
NOTE: When moving the SAROS from an extreme temperature environment, please allow time for your device to acclimate to the
recommended operating temperature environment.
OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS AT EXTREME TEMPERATURES
SAROS has been designed to optimally operate at temperatures between 0ºC – 43ºC. When operating the system in environments
outside these temperatures, the system performance is characterized as follows:
While operating in temperatures between -13ºC – 0ºC and 43ºC – 49ºC, SAROS is capable of maintaining flow and purity in con-
tinuous and pulse flow modes, while operating on all power sources with the exception of Battery charging.
While operating in temperatures above 49ºC the purity of the oxygen may fall below 90% and the operating time on the battery
may be reduced. If SAROS is operating on external power at this temperature, the system may not transition to battery operation
due to the safety circuit in the Battery being too hot. During discharge, the SAROS software will shut the system down if
internal battery cell temperature exceeds 59°C. While the Battery is charging, software will interrupt charger operation when the
internal battery temperature exceeds 40°C or temperature is less than 5°C.
While operating in temperatures up to 60ºC, the purity of the oxygen may fall below 90% and the unit may not operate on battery
due to the high temperature and internal safety circuit in the battery. If the unit does operate on battery, the time may be greatly
reduced.
THE PROPER LOCATION
Select a location for the device that avoids the intake of smoke, fumes and pollutants. Correct placement of the device should
allow intake of air through the air inlet filter at the top and allow exhaust air to freely leave the exhaust vent at the bottom of the
device.
Locate the device such that the alarms can be heard and position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way that it does not kink or
occlude. Keep the SAROS at least five (5) feet (1.5 m) away from hot, sparking objects or open flames.
DO NOT locate the device near flammable materials or cleaning agents or in the direct path of any heat source, such as a stove,
range, heat register or vehicle heater.
