2.0 Safety
2.1 General
Oxygen, the most abundant of the elements, makes up approximately 50
percent of the earth’s crust. In its free state, it forms about one-fifth of our
air by volume. Although oxygen is classified as a non-flammable gas, it
supports combustion. As an active element, it combines directly or
indirectly with all elements except the rare gases. It is an invisible gas that
is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
To ensure your safety, thoroughly read and familiarize yourself with this
section of the manual. AirSep Corporation strongly recommends that you
review this section periodically.
2.2 Potential Hazards
Before you attempt to install, operate or repair the oxygen generator, read
and thoroughly understand this manual. Improper operation can result in
severe bodily injury, damage to the unit, or poor performance.
Oxygen vigorously accelerates the burning of
combustible materials. In an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere, many materials that do not burn in
normal air require only a slight spark or moderate heat
to set them aflame.
To avoid fire or an explosion, keep gasoline,
kerosene, oil, grease, cotton fibers, paint, and any
other combustible material away from any part of the
oxygen generator.
Do not smoke or use an open flame near the oxygen
generator.
Post “NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES” signs in the
area where the oxygen generator is located. AirSep
Corporation STRONGLY recommends that only
individuals trained and experienced in the safe handling
of oxygen operate this unit.
Take extreme care to keep all oxygen piping and
vessels clean. To avoid fire or an explosion, oxygen-
clean all surfaces that can come in contact with
oxygen. Check all oxygen fittings/joints for leaks with
an oxygen-compatible leak-detecting solution.

2-2 Topaz/Topaz+/Topaz Ultra Instruction Manual
Electrical shock hazard. Only trained personnel may
open the oxygen generator. The interior of the
oxygen generator contains electrical parts that can
produce an electrical hazard if not handled properly.
Connect the oxygen generator power cord to a
properly grounded wall outlet on a circuit that cannot
be accidentally turned off. Do not use extension
cords. Do not position the generator in an area that
makes it difficult to disconnect the power.
To prevent fire or electrical shock, locate the oxygen
generator indoors away from rain or any other type of
moisture.
