INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a
Respond
O
2
™
Ultrasonic Oxygen Indicator
.
The designers of this product have years of experience in the field of
oxygen concentrator repairs. The unreliability and high cost of operation
of fuel cell analyzers led to the invention of the
Respond
O
2
™
Ultrasonic
Oxygen Indicator
.
By relying on a method already used in many oxygen concentrators to
trigger "Low O
2
" alarms –
ultrasound
–
Respond
O
2
™
Oxygen
indicator offers more cost effective product to check the output of
oxygen concentrators. The
Respond
O
2
™
Ultrasonic Oxygen Indicator
responds faster, has no fuel cell to replace and is simpler to use than a
fuel cell analyzer.
Directions for Use:
There are two (2) controls for the
Respond
O
2
™
unit:
1.
Pressing and releasing the
“on/off”
button will turn the unit on or
off.
2. The
“pure O
2
calibrate”
button when pressed and held down
while connected to a compressed gas or liquid U.S.P. oxygen
(> 99.0%) source verifies that the unit is properly calibrated, thus
eliminating the need to have an outside source calibrate the unit.
Since the
Respond
O
2
™
device uses ultrasound technology to check
the concentrator operation, there has to be two modes of operation:
1.
When the unit is turned on, the software enables the unit to
measure the output of an oxygen concentrator adjusting for the
argon that passes through the sieve beds.
2.
When using the unit with the
“pure O
2
calibrate”
button
depressed the software measures oxygen not adjusting for the
argon. When the
“O
2
calibrate”
button is released, the unit
automatically returns to the concentrator mode and will then
again adjust for the argon and read incorrectly for pure oxygen.

Ultrasonic Oxygen Indicator
INITIAL SETUP
1. Remove the
Respond
O
2
™
Ultrasonic Oxygen Indicator
from
the package. Make sure you have the following items:
•
Respond
O
2
™
indicator unit
• 9-volt battery (factory installed) – Spare battery also ncluded
• 2 foot connecting tubing
•
Carrying case and strap
• Operation Manual
2. The
Respond
O
2
™
Ultrasonic Oxygen Indicator
was calibrated
at the factory. However, the proper calibration of the unit's
oxygen concentration measurement mode can be quickly and
easily verified by following the "Pure Oxygen Verification"
procedure on
page 6
of this manual.
3. If accreditation organizations or internal policies and
procedures require routine calibration, instructions on
performing a "Quick One Step Calibration Procedure" to
U.S.P. oxygen (> 99.0%) can be found on
page 6
of this
manual. A “Full Two Step Calibration Procedure" to both
U.S.P. oxygen (> 99.0%) and room air can be found on
page
7
of this manual.
Low Battery Indicator:
When the unit displays
“LO”
and
“BAT”
in the lower left corner,
battery is low and should be replaced. See
