Powering on your eQuinox
The device can be operated from three (3) different power
sources:
• AC Power Supply
• 12VDC Cable
• Rechargeable Battery Pack (Battery)
10 — 4805-C1 C (English)
General Charging Information
The eQuinox runs on external AC power, DC power, or a
rechargeable battery. The system includes a "smart battery
charger." This recharges the battery whenever the eQuinox is
connected to an outside power source. The system monitors and
controls the power source and the battery charger.
The eQuinox charges the battery when using AC or DC power
when the battery temperature is within safe charging temperature.
When external power is removed, the device automatically
switches over to the battery, as long as the battery is installed and
charged. When connected to an AC or DC outlet again, the device
runs on the external power source and recharges the battery.
Line up the power plug with the recessed external connector to
correctly plug in the AC Supply or 12VDC cable. The recessed
power connector is on the right side of the device when facing the
Control Panel. Push the power plug into the recessed connector.
AC POWeR SUPPLY
The eQuinox includes a universal AC Power Supply for use at
home or wherever standard AC power is available. To connect to
an AC power source, plug the AC Power Supply cord securely
into the recessed external connector. Also make sure that the cord
from the AC Power Supply is plugged into an AC outlet. When
the eQuinox is plugged in correctly, a green indicator on the AC
Power Supply and the External Power Indicator will light up. The
indicator on the user control panel will also light up. The
CAIRE AC Power Supply PN 4836 is the main power source for
the eQuinox portable oxygen concentrator. It is a very important
part of the overall system.
Note: Use only electrical voltage specified on the specification label
affixed to the device.
