Working Principle

Air enters the compressor after being filtered through the inlet filter device, and is compressed into the molecular-sieve tower for oxygen-nitrogen separation. Oxygen passes through the molecular-sieve tower and enters the fine sieve tower, while nitrogen is adsorbed by the molecular sieve and discharged into the atmosphere through the separation valve. With the increase of oxygen concentration in the fine sieve tower, oxygen is finally delivered to the user through the oxygen delivery pipe under the control of the electronic flow control valve.

 Product Description

This product is applicable to AC 230V/50Hz(110V/60Hz) voltage. It is equipped with a pure copper oil-free compressor and a high-quality molecular sieve. It uses air as raw material to produce high-purity oxygen through a new Pressure Swing Adsorption method (PSA) at room temperature, which can be used for household supplementary oxygen absorption.
The product is designed according to a standard higher than the standard for household appliances. It is fitted with a large clear LED display screen. With intelligent chips controlling the circuit, the machine has automatic fault alarm function, timing function and overheating circuit protection function. When the working temperature of the compressor is too high, it will automatically stop working to better protect the safety of the compressor and the whole machine. This product is easy to operate, lightweight and portable. It is not only suitable for home use, but also can be used in a car by using the automobile power supply. Suitable for household oxygen supplement.

Operation Steps

1. Connect the power cord
   Insert the output terminal of the power cord into the power port on the machine first (as shown in the left figure), and then insert the other terminal of the power cord into the socket.

2. Connect the oxygen tube
   Insert the large diameter end of the oxygen inhalation tube into the “Oxygen outlet” port.

3.  Connect the atomizing tube.(VH-03 only)As shown in the figure, connect the atomizer to the “Nebulizing outlet”. Adjust it to the right position, and wear it well.
   

4. Wear the oxygen inhaler
   Wear the oxygen inhaler correctly as shown. When using a Nasal cannula, align the two vents with the nostrils and tighten the rubber ring.

5. Start the oxygen machine
   Turn on the “Power switch” and touch the “ON/OFF” button, the machine will start to produce oxygen.

Please adjust the oxygen concentration to the appropriate gear according to your own conditions. The recommended oxygen concentration: 70%~90% for special people (if not recommended by a doctor, do not inhale high concentrations of oxygen); 50%~70%for the elderly and pregnant women; 30%~50% for office workers and students. Please consult a physician for specific use.

Check the “Air filter”
Open the air inlet cover and check. Make sure the air filter is clean and is installed in place.

Instructions for the Panel Introduction to the display

3. Oxygen flow rate

Function buttons
Turn on the power switch, the display will show the total operating time and enter the standby state.

ON/OFF
Gently touch the “ON/OFF” key, and the machine will start making oxygen. The oxygen concentration value on the screen will gradually rise to the corresponding value of the selected flow gear.

Flow button
Press the “Flow” button to adjust the oxygen concentration to your prescribed level; the greater the gas flow, the lower the oxygen concentration. There are seven flow levels: 1 liter, 2 liters, 3 liters, 4 liters, 5 liters, 6 liters, and 7 liters. The corresponding oxygen concentration percentages are 90%, 60%, 45%, 40%, 35%, 30%, and 28%. Default flow rate in the power off state is 1L. When the system is rebooted in standby mode, the flow value set before will retain.

“Timing” button
Touch the “Timing button” to adjust the timing. Each time you press, the duration increases by 15 minutes; the maximum duration is 180 minutes. After 3 seconds of no operation, the timer starts to count down. “Timing” button on remote control: The duration increases or decreases by 15 minutes after each press.

Maintenance and Repair

Clean the shell
The shell surface should be cleaned at least once a month. Cut off the power supply and wipe it with a clean, soft, slightly wet cloth soaked in disinfectant. Prevent the liquid from seeping into the interior of the machine.
Clean or replace filter and filter pad
The white air filter at the back of the machine can reduce noise, keep the dust out and purify air. Timely cleaning and replacement of the filter are of great importance to protect the compressor and molecular sieve and prolong the service life of the machine. So please clean or replace it in time.
Do not operate the oxygen concentrator when the filter and filter pad are not installed or are wet, which could cause permanent damage to the machine.
Generally, filters and filter pads shall be cleaned or replaced every 100 hours.

•   Disassembly: Pull out the air inlet cover outward from the back of the machine to remove the filter.
  Whether to clean or replace the filter and filter cotton shall be determined according to the actual use conditions. If the filter is dirty or clogged, it should be cleaned or replaced immediately regardless of the using time. Note: Filters and filter pads are consumables and need to be replaced regularly.

• Cleaning: Clean with diluted detergent first and rinse with water. Install it on the machine after it is completely dry.

Clean the oxygen inhaler and atomization components
Cleaning should be done after each use. The nasal suction heads on the nasal cannula should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. Soak in 5% potassium permanganate solution for 5 minutes, and then clean it with clean water; or wipe it with alcohol.

Fuse replacement
Unplug the power, use a slot screwdriver to pry open the fuse cap (as shown in the diagram), remove the invalid glass fuse, and then install a new one. Put the fuse cover back in place and tighten it.

Long-term idle
Make the following preparations if the machine shall be in long-term idle.

1. Cut off the power supply and put away the power cord.
2. Store the machine in a dry environment at room temperature. Do not bend the tube.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and pollution.
4. Place the machine out of reach of infants and children.

Make the following preparations before using the machine which has been in long-term idle.

1. Check the power cord for normal use.
2. Clean the oxygen tube and inhaler to avoid clogging or bending.

Troubleshooting

1

| Odor in the air stream| When the machine is used for the first several times, the connection tube and other plastic parts will emit a smell, which is normal.| This odor is a normal smell emitted by silicone tubes and ABS plastic parts. It has been tested to be non-toxic and harmless. With the use of the machine, it will gradually disappear.
2| The machine makes a chuffing sound every few seconds.| This is the sound of nitrogen discharge when the machine is normal, which is

a sign of the good operation of the machine.

|

3

| ****

The machine runs normally after starting up, but the flow rate is small.

| Low flow rate has been set.| Turn up the level of flow rate.
Tube is twisted or blocked.| Straighten the tube.
The connecting tube inside the machine is disconnected or broken.| Disconnect the power supply and have it repaired by professional maintenance personnel.

4

| After powering on, the indicator light is normal, but the machine fails to work properly (abnormal working sound )| Compressor failure| Disconnect the power supply and have it repaired by professional maintenance personnel.
Ambient temperature is too high.

Self-protection program of the oil-free compressor is activated.

| This is a normal phenomenon. The machine will restart automatically when the temperature lowers down.
The connecting tube inside the machine is disconnected or broken.| Disconnect the power supply and have it repaired by professional maintenance personnel.

If the machine does not operate normally after following the above methods, please call the customer service hotline for advice. Do not disassemble the machine.
