rates less than 10 LPM will tolerate higher temperature/humidity
conditions.

12 SeQual Regalia Instruction Manual
AirSep Corporation
2.3 THE PROPER LOCATION
Usage in environments other than those described on the previous page may result
in the need for increased oxygen concentrator maintenance. Select a location in
a well ventilated space that avoids fumes and pollutants and allows the oxygen
concentrator to draw in room air through the intake lter on the top of the cabinet
without being restricted. Make sure the oxygen concentrator is at least three to six
(3 - 6) inches (7.6 – 15.2 cm) away from walls, furniture and especially curtains or
draperies that can impede or block adequate airow to the oxygen concentrator. Do
NOT cover unit with a blanket, towel, quilt, etc. Do NOT place objects under unit.
Maintain at least ½ inch clearance under unit. Keep the oxygen concentrator at
least ve (5) feet (1.5 m) away from hot, sparking objects or open sources of ame.
Do NOT locate the unit near any heat source or heat register.
2.4 BEFORE OPERATING YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR
There are many different types of oxygen tubing that can be used with this oxygen
concentrator.
■Oxygen Tubing - Connect the oxygen tubing directly to the oxygen
outlet port. Connect the other end of the tube to the application, if
not already attached.
The tube tting may be tight.
Do NOT use oil or grease to lubricate.
To ensure there is enough pressure to deliver oxygen, the length of
the tubing should not exceed 50 feet (15.2m). Maximum extension
tubing length is dependent upon environmental conditions, tubing
type, liter ow and any accessories used between DISS tting and
application. Shorter tubing lengths will be required in some cases.
The internal diameter of the tubing should be no less than 3/16-
inch (0.48 cm).
Alarm System - The oxygen concentrator has an alarm system with
a red visual alarm indicator light and buzzer. The alarm system
will activate in the event of an internal fault or power outage. The
red and/or yellow light may stay on for up to ten (10) minutes after
start-up, OM models only. This is a normal condition during the
initial warm-up period.

SeQual Regalia Instruction Manual 13
AirSep Corporation
If the oxygen concentrator is equipped with an oxygen concentration monitor (OM
model), this monitor indicates if the oxygen concentrator is performing to the correct
specifications. At normal oxygen concentration levels, the green light is activated.
At lower than normal oxygen levels, the yellow light is activated. The red light
activates and the unit alarms if the system malfunctions or when service is needed.
The oxygen concentrator will continue to run at lower levels of oxygen but may
shut down under other system malfunctions. If the red light turns on, you should
discontinue use of the oxygen concentrator and refer to the troubleshooting section
