BEFORE OPERATING
This Operator & Service Manual serves as your reference to help you operate and maintain the device. If you have any questions or concerns
please contact a qualified representative, or CAIRE Inc.
WARNING: PROTECT THE SAROS AND THE AC POWER ADAPTER AND 24 VDC CABLE FROM ALL FLUID SPILLS OR FLUID DRIPS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARDS.
WARNING: USE OF ACCESSORIES, TRANSDUCERS AND CABLES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED OR PROVIDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER OF THIS EQUIPMENT COULD RESULT IN INCREASED ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS OR DECREASED ELEC-
TROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND RESULT IN IMPROPER OPERATION.
WARNING: DO NOT LUBRICATE FITTINGS, CONNECTIONS, TUBING, OR OTHER ACCESSORIES OF THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS.
CAUTION: Always check that the air inlet and the exhaust vent of the device are not blocked and the air inlet filter is clean
before using your device.
POWERING ON YOUR SAROS
The SAROS comes complete with the concentrator, AC Power Adapter, power cord, 24 VDC Cable, Battery, and extra filters. The SAROS
is a lightweight portable and stationary source of supplemental oxygen. The device is capable of being operated directly from three different
power sources: AC power adapter, DC power supply, and battery. To power the SAROS on, connect a source of power and press and hold the
ON/OFF button for 2–3 seconds.
GENERAL CHARGING INFORMATION
The SAROS charges the Battery when external power (AC or DC) is present and when the Battery temperature is below a safe charging
temperature. When external power is disconnected, the device will automatically switch over to the Battery, if installed and charged. When
external power is restored, by plugging into an AC or DC outlet, the device will accept power from the external power source and recharge
the Battery while operating the device if adequate AC or DC power is available.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER CONNECTOR ON THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT WITH THE BATTERY REMOVED AND WHEN
THE DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO AN EXTERNAL AC OR DC POWER SOURCE.
AC POWER ADAPTER
The SAROS includes a universal AC Power Adapter for use wherever standard AC power is available. To connect to an AC power source, be
sure the AC Power Adapter device cord is securely inserted into the recessed power receptacle on the top of the device and that the AC power
cord from the AC Power Adapter is plugged into an AC outlet. When the device is plugged in properly, the External Power is Present Indica-
tor will appear on the user control panel in Normal Mode.
CAUTION: The AC power cords used with the SAROS must meet the electrical requirements of the country where the device
is used.
CAUTION: Use only with CAIRE Inc. supplied power cords.
DC POWER SUPPLY
A 24 VDC Cable allows the system to operate from DC outlets, such as those found in vehicles. Start the vehicle. Insert the 24 VDC cable
into the power receptacle on the top of the device. Next, insert the 24 VDC Cable plug into the DC power outlet in your vehicle. When the
device is properly connected and receiving power from the DC power source, a green indicator light on the External Power is Present Indica-
tor, on the control panel will illuminate in Normal Mode.
WARNING: SECURE THE SAROS AND THE DC POWER SUPPLY IN YOUR VEHICLE AND BE SURE THERE IS ADEQUATE AIR FLOW
TO THE DEVICE AND THAT THE AIR INLET AND EXHAUST VENTS ARE NOT BLOCKED. BLOCKING OF THE AIR INLET OR EXHAUST
VENT MAY IMPAIR DEVICE PERFORMANCE.
WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE THE SAROS OR 24 VDC CABLE PLUGGED INTO THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING
OR ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE WHILE THE DC CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE. DOING SO WILL DRAIN THE
VEHICLE'S BATTERY.
WARNING: IF THE VEHICLE'S DC POWER SOURCE DROPS BELOW 20.0 VOLTS (BROWNOUT CONDITION) THE SAROS WILL
REVERT TO BATTERY OPERATION IF THE BATTERY IS PRESENT.
