User Manual: Zopec Explore Oxygen (Ver. 03.03.2021)

USER MANUAL
Universal CPAP, BiPap and Oxygen Battery
Professional Model: 21160KC

IMPORTANT ­ BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Initial Charge/Battery Reset: Please charge Zopec Explore Oxygen battery (~12 hours) until 100% charged (LED = FF) before first use. It is normal if the capacity does not change for 8 – 10 hours. If charging issues occur, please run your CPAP with humidifier until it turns off on its own then try recharging again. This deep discharge resets the battery. See troubleshooting section if charging issues persist.

2. Heated Humidifier and Heated Tube Impact on CPAP Running Time:
   • Longest Running Time: NOT using Heated Humidifier and Heated Tube.
   • Shortest Running Time: Using Both Heated Humidifier and Heated Tube will reduce about 75 – 80% of the CPAP running time.
   • Heated Humidifier: With Heated Humidifier ON, it will reduce CPAP running time by about 50 – 60%. It takes a lot of power to evaporate water.
   • Heated Tube: With Heated Tube ON, it will reduce CPAP running time by an additional 50 – 60%. If you don’t have water pooling issues in the CPAP tubing (rain-out), then you wouldn’t need to use a Heated Tube.

3. Instruction for Turning Off the Heated Humidifier and Heated Tube:
   • ResMed AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10:
   i. Go to “MyOptions” and change “ClimateControl” to “Manual”. NOTE: this must be done first. Otherwise, the automatic climate control will turn the heated humidifier and heated tube back ON without notice.
   ii. Next, turn “Humidity Level” and “Tube Temp” to “OFF”. If you don’t have a heated tube, just turn the “Humidity Level” to “OFF”.
   iii. Exit “MyOptions” and re-enter “MyOptions” to verify that “Climate Control” is in “Manual” and “Humidity Level” and “Tube Temp” are “OFF”.
   • Philips Respironics DreamStation, detach the heated humidifier and plug the CPAP hose directly to the back of the CPAP Unit.
   • All Other Machines, detach the heated humidifier if possible and just run the CPAP unit. Please call or email us if you don’t know how to turn off your heated humidifier and heated tube.

4. Test CPAP Run Time (paper towel test): We recommend to test your machine run time with your settings first before sleeping with it. At the end of the CPAP hose, remove your mask and put paper towel inside the CPAP hose. Turn the machine on and just let a little air through the CPAP hose. This imitates breathing. Simply run the CPAP with a fully charged battery during the day and determine the run time.

5. Maintenance: Fully charge battery to 100% (LED = FF) monthly for maintenance.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

• Before first use, please charge battery to 100%. (LED = “FF”). To charge, first plug the wall charger to the wall outlet. Next, connect the wall charger to the battery Recharging Port on the side of the battery.

• To use the battery, you need to turn on the battery first and then the AC Outlet:
  1. To turn on the battery, press and hold the Battery ON/OFF Switch on the top of the battery until the Capacity % LED Display turns ON.
  2. To turn on the AC Outlet, slide the AC Outlet Switch to ON and the Red LED light of the AC Outlet Indicator turns ON.

• Plug in your device and the device should turn ON and be ready for use.

• After use, just press and hold the Battery ON/OFF Switch on the top of the battery to turn off (LED Display turns off).

UPS Technology for Power Outages:

• To set up this backup power mode, just keep the battery charging while running your machine. The AC Outlet must be ON with red LED light ON.
• When there is no power outage, the battery will run the wall power through a Pass-through (bypass). Therefore, it does not hurt the battery life.
• When a power outage occurs, the battery senses the Pass-through has zero current flow and switches instantaneously to battery power. You would sleep through the power outage uninterrupted without knowing it even occurred.
• Note: Please verify that the % capacity stays at 100% or “FF”. If you see the battery started to drain, then please lower your heated tube setting until the battery capacity stays at 100% or “FF”.
• This UPS battery is designed to stay under the bed. If you put in a drawer, make sure it is vented. This battery comes with all safety features including over current, over voltage, and over temp. It is safe to be on the floor. See below:

Unlimited Linking Technology:

• To get additional machine running time, you can purchase multiple batteries and link them together. There is no limit on how many batteries you can link together. Essentially, you can get any amount of power you want.
• To link 2 batteries, link up as you are recharge the first battery using the next battery. Continue this set up to link more batteries. Please note that the CPAP machine must plug into the first battery. It will draw from all batteries because they are all linked.
• In backup power mode, have the last battery in the link charge from a wall outlet.
• Note: When drawing from multiple batteries, it may not draw from the batteries in order. That is normal. The power draw is based on the path of least resistance.

Recharging Options (Wall Charger, Car Charger and Solar Panel Charger):

• All charging plugs in to the Recharging Port of the battery.
• The wall charger is a universal power supply and works with all power sources worldwide (100 ­ 240V, 50 ­ 60 Hz). You just need the outlet adapter to plug into the outlet of that country.
• The car charger requires a 12V DC cigarette lighter or power outlet. For some new cars, you may have a 110V outlet, you can use your wall charger to charge.
• Solar Panel Charger: The charging speed varies significantly with weather. A sunny, dry and warm weather will charge the fastest. For example, a sunny and cold or overcast weather will not charge nearly as efficiently.

Air Travel: (NOT COMPLIANT WITH FAA/TSA)

• Zopec Explore oxygen has a capacity of 576 Wh and is NOT FAA/TSA compliant for air travel. The FAA/TSA limit is 160 Wh for Lithium Ion batteries.

Run Time for Portable Oxygen Concentrator and Other Devices:

We are continuing to collect engineering data on battery run times for POC and other home portable devices. As we collect more data, we will update our website (www.zopec.com) and publish run time tables. For now, please read below to estimate the battery run time of your device and settings:

• All portable devices have rechargeable batteries either built-in internally or detachable.
• Most of the device batteries have capacity about 98 Wh or 27,000 mAh. Please read your device specification and determine the capacity of your device battery.
• The Zopec Explore Oxygen has a capacity of 576 Wh and 160,000 mAh. Please note that the device batteries use DC power and this battery uses AC power so you need to subtract 30% efficiency loss for estimation.
• For example, this battery will approximately recharge a 27,000 mAh device battery ~ 4 times (i.e., 160,000 mAh / 27,000 mAh * 70%).
• Based on how long your device battery runs and how many times your device can be recharged by the Zopec Explore Oxygen battery, you can determine the battery run time. Note: this is an estimate. Exact run time needs to be tested.

Troubleshooting

• Battery Will Not Charge or Would Not Hold Charge:
  • Most likely, the battery just need a reset. This is done by doing a deep discharge. Please run your CPAP machine or a lamp until it turns off on its own. This depletes and resets the battery. Please try charging again.
  • This is a high-capacity lithium-ion battery and sometimes it takes 2 ­ 3 depletion cycles to reset the battery
• Battery Run Time Not Lasting as Long:
  • Please make sure to follow the instructions in this manual to turn off the heated humidifier and heated tube then try again. You can increase the run time to lower the heated humidifier and heated tube settings.
  • If you have a ResMed CPAP machine, most likely the automatic ClimateControl turned the heated humidifier and heated tube back ON without you knowing. Please enter “MyOptions” and make sure the Climate Control is in “Manual” before turning the humidity level and tube temp to OFF, then try again.
• No Power to the AC Outlet: Please follow the instruction to turn ON the battery and the AC outlet. Please make sure that the red LED is ON, which means the AC Outlet is ON. If the red LED light is ON and there is no power to the AC Outlet, then please contact us for further assistance.
• Electrical Sparks: When you plug into the recharging port or the AC Outlet, you may see occasional sparks. That is typically from static electricity and is normal. It will not harm you or the battery. To avoid it, you can try grounding yourself by touching a large metal surface before recharging or plugging your device into the battery.

With unresolved problems, please contact your vendor or us for further assistance.
