VII. Power Supplies
LifeStyle can be powered using three different kinds of power supplies – an
AC adapter, AirSep Part No. PW005-1; a car DC adapter, AirSep Part No.
EL204-1; and a battery pack, AirSep Part No. BT007-1.
1. AC Adapter: An AC adapter allows LifeStyle to be connected to a 100-250
volt, 50/60 Hz socket. The adapter converts 100-250 volts AC to 13.5 volts
DC for the LifeStyle unit. When LifeStyle is operated with the AC adapter,
power from the AC socket powers the unit and recharges LifeStyle's battery
simultaneously.
2. DC Vehicle Adapter: A DC vehicle adapter can be connected from the
LifeStyle unit to a car (boat, caravan, motor home, etc.) 12-volt DC socket.
When LifeStyle is connected to the car's socket, power from the car battery
powers the LifeStyle unit and recharges the LifeStyle's battery simulta-
neously.
3. Battery Pack: A rechargeable battery pack is included with LifeStyle. When it
is fully charged, it supplies power to the LifeStyle unit for approximately 50
minutes. Two different audible alarms sound when the battery power is
getting low. The alarms are discussed in the Alarm/Light Indicators section
of this manual.
To charge the battery, connect LifeStyle to either the AC adapter and a 100-250
volt, 50/60 Hz AC power socket or to a DC power socket in a car (boat,
caravan, motor home, etc.). It takes a minimum of two and a half hours for a
discharged battery to fully charge. To increase the length of time that the user
can be away from another power source, AirSep recommends that fully
charged, spare batteries be kept with LifeStyle. When the battery begins to
lose power, the user can change to a spare battery if needed.
Initially, a battery must charge in the unit for 12 hours. (Refer to the Battery
Charging Installation section.)
• The battery pack must be in place in the unit when operating LifeStyle. If
LifeStyle will remain unused for more than five consecutive days, remove the
battery pack from the device and store it in a cool, dry place.
VIII. Filters
Air enters LifeStyle through an air intake/gross particle filter located on the
front of the oxygen concentrator, under the unit's cover. This filter removes
dust particles and other impurities from the air. Before you operate LifeStyle,
make sure this filter is clean and positioned correctly.
The supplemental oxygen produced by LifeStyle receives additional filtration
from a product filter located within the oxygen concentrator. Your Equipment
Provider performs maintenance on the product filter in addition to other
maintenance of LifeStyle.
