GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION This service manual was designed to provide DeVilbiss Healthcare qualified service technicians and homecare providers with the proper maintenance, service, safety, and repair procedures for the DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator. Read and understand all the information contained in this service manual before attempting to operate or perform any maintenance on the concentrator. An oxygen concentrator is a device that delivers highly concentrated oxygen for therapeutic applications.
GENERAL INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Read this entire guide before using your DeVilbiss concentrator. Important safeguards are indicated throughout this guide. Pay special attention to all safety information. Imminently and potentially hazardous information is highlighted by these terms: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which could result in death or serious injury to the user or operator if not avoided. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which could result in death or serious injury to the user or operator if not avoided.

GENERAL INFORMATION WARNING • If you feel discomfort or are experiencing a medical emergency while undergoing oxygen therapy, seek medical assistance immediately to avoid harm. • Geriatric, pediatric or any other patient unable to communicate discomfort can require additional monitoring and/or a distributed alarm system to convey the information about the discomfort and/or the medical urgency to the responsible caregiver to avoid harm.
WARNING 6.5 feet (2 m) from hot, sparking objects or naked sources of flame. The plug on the DeVilbiss 525DS concentrators has one blade wider Electric Shock Hazard. Only qualified DeVilbiss Healthcare homecare than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is providers may remove the cabinet.

UNPACKING AND SETUP temperature/humidity conditions or in the presence of contaminates, and/ or handling and storage conditions outside those specified, may affect the long term reliable operation of the product. Slowly turn the flow meter knob until the flow meter ball is centered on the line next to the appropriate flow rate.
MAINTENANCE produce an audible pulse every few seconds while the visible alert blinks. Power PATIENT ALERT SYSTEM for this alert is provided by a capacitor on the PC board. The DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator patient alert system will detect unit component failure. This system is comprised of both visible and audible alerts For units with Serial Numbers which signal the patient if a malfunction should occur.
MAINTENANCE Increase the flow to 1 LPM and confirm that the alarm condition ends. ROUTINE PATIENT MAINTENANCE High Flow DeVilbiss recommends using only original DeVilbiss parts and filters in order to Connect the oxygen concentrator to AC power and turn the power guarantee a reliable operation of the product.

COMPONENT TESTING, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT To reassemble, reverse steps 2-4. Remove the tubing cap from the accumulator tank fitting or from the manifold attached to the tank, and attach the 1/16" (1.6 mm) diameter The majority of all the servicing and repairs can be done without removing the tubing from the gauge to the fitting just vacated above.

COMPONENT TESTING, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT To replace the molecular sieve beds: PRESSURE REGULATOR The pressure regulator stabilizes the flow of oxygen to the patient and NOTE– Make sure that the sealing caps remain on the new sieve beds until establishes back pressure on the system. It is preset at 8.5 psi (58.6 kPa) and just prior to connecting hoses and tubing.

COMPONENT TESTING, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT The stepper motor on the rotary valve has multiple windings so there are several voltage readings that need to be checked in order to determine if the problem is being caused by the PC board or the valve itself. Testing for proper voltage is done at the wire harness connectors on the valve or on the PC Board using a voltmeter.
