4.1.1 Adsorbers
The adsorbers, or beds, are vessels that contain the molecular sieve used to
adsorb (attract) nitrogen from compressed air and allow oxygen to pass through as
the product gas.
4.1.2 Enclosure
The enclosure protects the control system components of the unit (e.g., circuit
board, pressure switch, fuses, and transformer). It is present only in AS-A thru AS-
D models. The control system components are inside the control panel in the AS-
D+ thru AS-P models.
Disconnect power before opening and/or removing enclosure.
Power Cord
The power cord, and its grounded plug, connects the oxygen generator to a
properly grounded electrical outlet to supply electrical power to the oxygen
generator. In the event of different type electrical connection, a fully qualified
electrician must install the appropriate electrical connection on the end of the
power cord for a properly grounded electrical outlet to supply electrical power to
the oxygen generator.
Fuse Holder
The fuse holders contain fuses to protect the electrical components of the oxygen
generator. On the AS-D+ through AS-P series models, the fuse holders are
mounted in the control panel.
Fuses must be replaced with the same type and amp rating as
the original fuses.
4.1.3 Connections
The oxygen generator provides the connections described below.

The feed air inlet provides a connection for the feed air hose from the air
compressor.
