Personal Ambulatory Oxygen System
Provider Technical Manual
31
When the Eclipse is running from an external (AC or DC) power supply, the External Power Present Indicator will illuminate.
The Eclipse will always operate from external power when external power within the specified range is available.
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE TRAINING
Small, lightweight, and easily moved about, the Eclipse 3 is ideally suited to an active lifestyle. The AC supply enables
recharge of the Power Cartridge during longer excursions and even extended overnight travel. To train your patient on
mobility and ambulation, follow the procedures below.
Ask your patient whether he or she will be using the device to travel by vehicle. If so, show your patient how to safely use
the Eclipse while driving. Refer to the previous section on Connecting the DC Power Supply for proper setup of the Eclipse
system in a vehicle.
CAUTION
When operating with an Eclipse 3 DC Power Supply, Eclipse settings
greater than 2.0 LPM Continuous Flow, will automatically switch to the
2.0 LPM Continuous Flow setting. 2.0 LPM is max.
Puse mode will also not operate above 96 mL.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the DC Power Supply and the
Eclipse.
• Ensure the DC Power Supply and Eclipse are secured in the vehicle
so that is does not become a projectile in the event of a sudden
stop.
• DO NOT operate the Eclipse on DC power while the vehicle
engine is off. In such a scenario, the Eclipse could quickly drain
the vehicle’s battery.
WARNING:
CONNECTING THE DC POWER SUPPLY
To install the DC Power Supply, follow these steps:
A DC Power Supply allows the system to operate from DC outlets, such as those found in motor vehicles.
1. Consult your patient’s vehicle owner’s manual for DC Accessory outlet requirements.
2. Secure your Eclipse and DC Power supply in your vehicle. Ensure that alerts and alarms are observable.
3. Start the vehicle’s engine.
4. Insert supply plug into DC accessory outlet.
5. Attach the Power Supply plug to the Eclipse.
6. Advise the patient to use Pulse Dose Mode if prescribed by their clinician.
7.
When the device is properly connected and receiving power from the DC power source, a green indicator
light on the DC Power Supply will illuminate.
CAUTION
The DC Power Supply is designed for 12VDC minimum vehicle
electrical systems. Do not attempt to operate with 6V, 24V, or other
vehicle electrical system.
