GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This service manual was designed to provide DeVilbiss Healthcare qualied
service technicians and homecare providers with the proper maintenance,
service, safety, and repair procedures for the Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen
Concentrator.
Read and understand all the information contained in this service manual before
attempting to operate or perform any maintenance on the concentrator.
An oxygen concentrator is a device that delivers highly concentrated oxygen for
therapeutic applications.
Room air is a mixture of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% argon and other gases.
The concentrator draws in room air, separates the nitrogen from the oxygen, and
delivers concentrated oxygen to the patient through an oxygen port.
For more in-depth classroom type training, contact the Respiratory Technical
Service Department at 1-800-338-1988 (814-443-4881).

MAINTENANCE
PATIENT ALERT SYSTEM
The Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator patient alert system will detect unit
component failure. This system is comprised of both visible and audible alerts
which signal the patient if a malfunction should occur.
DeVilbiss OSD®Operation
The OSD is a device within Drive DeVilbiss concentrators that monitors the
oxygen produced by the unit. The OSD operates as follows:
• Normal Oxygen (green light) - oxygen purity normal
• Low Oxygen (yellow light) - oxygen purity low–requires servicing
NOTE– If the oxygen purity continues to fall, an audible signal will sound
intermittently. If the oxygen purity continues to fall to a low enough level, the
yellow “Low Oxygen” light will turn off and the red “Service” light will turn on.
NOTE– Refer to the Alerts section below for specic alert settings.
NOTE– After power on, the electronics continuously monitors the oxygen
sensor. If a fault is detected, the green "Normal Oxygen" light will turn off and
the beeping audible alert and blinking red "Service Required" light will activate.
The rst 15 minutes, the unit will be in “Start Up” mode. The oxygen purity is
continuously monitored and the green "Normal Oxygen" light will turn on as
soon as the therapeutic oxygen levels are obtained. Should a system fault
cause low oxygen levels, the yellow "Low Oxygen" light will remain "On" and
after 15 minutes if the oxygen levels are low enough, a beeping audible alarm
and blinking "Service Required" light will turn on.
Alerts:
There are two visible service alerts located on the front panel.
Low O2%Service
The audible alert system is internally powered; no batteries are required. If the
indicator lights illuminate or the audible alert sounds other than during start-up,
a problem has occurred
• Power Failure (Pulsing audible alert)
• Low Flow (Below 2 lpm) (Continuous red “Service” light and audible alert)
Below normal O2:
• The yellow Low Oxygen light will illuminate at <86%.
• The yellow Low Oxygen light will illuminate with an audible alarm at
approximately 85%.
• The yellow Low Oxygen and red Service Required lights will illuminate with
an audible alarm at <60%.
The audible alert will activate for a minimum of two minutes in a no power
situation. There is no visual indicator for this alarm. If the unit is turned “On”
without power or power is removed later, the alert will sound within 10 seconds.
After that time, the alert will produce an audible pulse every few seconds. Power
for this alert is provided by a capacitor on the PC board.
NOTE– If the concentrator has been unused for an extended period, the unit
must run several minutes before the power fail alert will activate.
The PC (printed circuit) board is responsible for controlling the system and
alerts.
NOTE– A high pressure condition is indicated by the audible (a “popping”
sound) release of pressure from a pressure relief valve located on the
compressor head.
NOTE– Settings below 2 LPM may activate the low ow alarm. Do not use a
low-output ow meter with this concentrator.

The device patient connection may unintentionally become contaminated with
expired gases if a hose internal to the device becomes disconnected. This
condition will cause no ow out of the device and/or an alarm condition. Should
this occur, remove the front cabinet in order to determine where the
disconnection occurred.
Replace all components from the free end of the disconnect through the outlet
port. Reference the pneumatic diagram and replacement part numbers/
instructions.
PROVIDER’S NOTES - Cleaning and
Disinfection When There is a Patient
Change
DeVilbiss Healthcare recommends that at least the following procedures be
carried out by the manufacturer or a qualied third party between uses by
different patients.
NOTE – If the following described complete processing of the concentrator by
an appropriately trained individual is not possible, the device should not be used
by another patient.
NOTE – If preventive maintenance is due at this time, these procedures
should be carried out in addition to the servicing procedures.
1. Use disinfectants safely. Always read the label and product information
before use.
2. Always wear personal protective equipment when performing this
procedure. Use suitable gloves and safety glasses. Cover exposed skin on
arms to prevent accidental contact with bleach solution that has been
applied to the concentrator.
3. Dispose of all accessories that are not suitable for reuse. This includes but
may not be limited to the oxygen tubing, tubing connectors, nasal cannula
and/or mask, oxygen outlet connector, and humidier bottle.
4. The concentrator must be disconnected from the power supply for this step:
Open the concentrator and remove all dust deposits inside the cabinet with
an appropriate vacuum cleaner.
5. Clean the exterior of the concentrator with a clean lint-free cloth. Heavy soil
should be removed with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with water. A soft
bristled brush dampened with water can be used to remove stubborn soil.
Dry the concentrator using a clean lint-free cloth if water was used to
remove soil.
6. Use 5.25% chlorine bleach (Clorox Regular Liquid Bleach or equivalent).
Mix one (1) part bleach with four (4) parts water in an appropriate clean
container. This ratio produces a one (1) part bleach to ve (5) total parts
solution (1:5). The total volume (amount) of solution required is determined
by the number of concentrators in need of disinfection. NOTE – An
alternate suitable disinfecting agent (e.g. Mikrobac® forte or Terralin®
Protect) may also be used. Follow disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Apply the bleach solution in an even manner to all parts of the cabinet
inside and outside and the power cord using a clean lint-free cloth. The
cloth should be dampened only and not dripping of solution. Do not use a
spray bottle to apply the solution. Do not saturate the device with the
solution. Take care that no solution enters the vent areas on the
concentrator base or the Auxiliary O2 tting area on the back of the unit.
Avoid over-saturating the cabinet seams so that no solution residue builds
up in these areas. Avoid the caster wells located on the bottom of the unit.
8. Exposure time of the disinfectant solution should be 10 minutes minimum
to 15 minutes maximum.
9. After the recommended exposure time, all exterior surfaces of the
concentrator should be wiped with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with
drinking quality water no warmer than room temperature. Dry the unit with a
dry, clean lint-free cloth. This is to remove residue that may stain or leave a
lm on the unit, especially after repeated disinfections.
10. Check the cord, the plug on the back of the device, the power switch, the
fuse holder, and the indicator lights for possible damage. Replace all
damaged or worn components.
11. Replace the cabinet air lter on the back of the device.
12. Check the oxygen concentration. If the device is within specication, the
extended life intake bacteria lter does not need to be replaced between
patients. If the oxygen concentration is not within specication, the provider
should refer to the service manual section on Troubleshooting.
NOTE – There is no portion of the gas pathways through the concentrator
that could be contaminated with body uids under normal conditions.
The device patient connection may unintentionally become contaminated with
expired gases for a single fault condition i.e., a hose internal to the device
becomes disconnected. This condition will cause no ow out of the device and/or
an alarm condition. Should this occur, refer to the service manual for additional
instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYSTEM OPERATION
The Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator uses a pressure swing adsorption
system. The air is drawn into the unit through air lters and into a double-head
compressor.
A pneumatic diagram of the system is shown on Page 26.
The compressed air passes through a rotary valve, which is cycled at a pre-
determined rate, and is directed into one of two sieve beds. The sieve beds
contain molecular sieve material which is a synthetically-produced inorganic
silicate. It is very porous and has the unique ability to selectively adsorb nitrogen
from the air as it passes through the sieve bed.
As one bed is being pressurized, the other bed is quickly depressurized. This
allows the nitrogen that was adsorbed during its pressurization cycle to be
exhausted from the sieve material.
The nitrogen is released through an exhaust port located on the rotary valve
assembly. The port is connected to the exhaust mufer.
Also during each bed pressurization, a small amount of oxygen ows through an
orice from the pressurized bed into the depressurizing bed. This helps purge the
nitrogen from the depressurizing bed.
The beds will continue to be alternately pressurized and depressurized as the
unit operates.
Oxygen leaving the sieve beds is directed through a check valve to the
accumulator tank. A pressure regulator on the tank controls the oxygen pressure
as it leaves the accumulator and enters the ow meter. The ow meter allows the
oxygen ow to be controlled and adjusted to the level prescribed by the patient’s
physician. From the ow meter the oxygen passes through the nal bacteria lter
and nally the oxygen outlet port to the patient.
The Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator operates on a timed cycle (2.5 sec. @
ows > 4.5 LPM) that is controlled by the PC board. The PC board will send
voltage to the valve causing it to shift and alternately pressurize the sieve beds.
The PC board also activates the electronic alert system. Low ow, system
abnormality, and power failure are indicated by audible and visible alerts. A high
pressure condition will be indicated with a “popping” type sound produced by
release of pressure from a pressure relief valve on the compressor head.
The 1025 operating system incorporates “turn-down” technology. The PC board
constantly monitors the ow rate and will decrease the cycle time whenever the
ow rate is equal to or less than 4.5 LPM. Therefore it “turns-down” the cycle
based on lower oxygen demand. As a result, the unit runs cooler and less power
is consumed.
NORMAL OPERATING SEQUENCE
When the concentrator is turned “On,” the following cycling sequence can be
observed by attaching a pressure gauge to the accumulator tank test point.
1. The rotary valve is quickly cycled several times to relieve residual bed
pressure preventing a static condition in the compressor. This rapid cycling
only happens on start-up and is clearly heard as pressure is being quickly
exhausted several times. The pressure exhausts through an exhaust
mufer that is connected to the valve.
2. The PC board applies a short DC voltage signal to the valve. The valve will
stop for several seconds causing the right bed to pressurize rst while the
left bed depressurizes.
3. Voltage is again applied to the valve for a short time. The valve will stop for
approximately a second. During this time the sieve bed pressures are
equalized.
4. A short DC voltage signal is again applied to the valve. The valve will stop
for several seconds causing the left bed to pressurize while the right bed
depressurizes.
5. A short DC voltage signal is again applied to the valve. The valve will stop
for approximately a second. During this time, the sieve bed pressures are
equalized.
6. The cycle then repeats with step 2.
NOTE– In the “turn-down” mode, the xed cycle time is decreased to less than 2
seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SIMPLIFIED TROUBLESHOOTING
The key to simple troubleshooting is to recognize which type of problem exists
and select the most effective approach to solving the problem. The different
types of problems and the approaches for solutions are as follows:
Type I— Purity Issues (Low Purity Indicator Light
is activated and the audible alert may also sound.)
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Extra care should be taken if it is necessary to
operate the unit with the cabinet removed.
WARNING
Mechanical Hazard. Keep ngers, loose clothing, etc. away when working
on compressor.
Observe the pressure cycle at the oxygen tank.
1. Connect a calibrated pressure gauge to the unit’s oxygen tank test point.
2. Set the unit’s ow meter to 10 LPM.
3. Power the unit and allow it to operate for a minimum of 5 minutes before
observing the pressure cycle.
4. Compare the high pressures and low pressures to those expected for the
current elevation and use the following chart to nd the appropriate action.
All consecutive high pressures should be within 2 psi of each other and all
consecutive low pressures should be within 2 psi of each other.
NOTE– For normal system pressures refer to Specications.
NOTE– Check for leaks using a certied leak detection solution such as Snoop®
or equivalent (must not contain ethylene glycol). Apply leak test solution to all
ttings and hose connections with unit running. If an air leak is present, the
solution will bubble. All leaks should be repaired before putting the unit back in
service.
CAUTION– Do not apply leak test solution to any part of the rotary valve or the
main PC Board assembly.

WARNING
When servicing the Drive DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator, be absolutely
certain that the correct tools are used and that the parts are free of oil and
grease or any material not compatible with oxygen. Teon®tape is
recommended and must be applied to the male threads omitting the rst
thread to eliminate the possibility of tape particles entering the oxygen
system.
Electric shock hazard. Do not remove cabinet. The cabinet should only be
removed by a qualied Drive DeVilbiss homecare provider.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before attempting repairs
on the unit. Extra care should be taken if it is necessary to operate the unit
with the cabinet removed.
NOTE– Be sure to read all of the steps involved before beginning any of the
procedures in this manual.
NOTE– After repairing or replacing a component, run the unit for 20 minutes,
check the oxygen concentration and test for leaks.
The DeVilbiss Oxygen Concentrator is designed for ease of service. To aid
service personnel a Service Kit (part #444-501) is available which contains the
necessary gauges, tools, and testing instruments to properly service the oxygen
concentrator. See list below.

CABINET REMOVAL
The majority of all the servicing and repairs can be done without removing the
front cabinet completely. However, it may be loosened or removed to gain access
to the components behind it.
To remove back cabinet:
1. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the six screws that secure the back cabinet – 2 behind handle, 2
near the bottom, and 1 on each side.
NOTE– All six screws are the same size.
3. Remove the back cabinet by sliding it toward the rear until clear.
4. To reassemble, reverse steps 2-3.
To loosen the front cabinet:
5. Remove the two screws (located directly above the intake bacteria lter)
that hold the front cabinet to the unit’s internal structure.
6. Remove the screw located near the bottom of the recessed humidier
compartment on the front of the unit. The top of the front cabinet can now
be tilted forward to allow access to the components behind it.
To remove the front cabinet completely:
7. Tilt cabinet forward.
8. Before disconnecting the wires from the power switch and circuit breaker
note their positions in order to reconnect them properly; then disconnect
the wires.
9. Disconnect the hose at the bottom of the ow meter and remove cabinet.
10. To reassemble reverse steps 5 – 9 making sure bottom of cabinet is
inserted securely in base of unit.
NOTE– All 1025 models are built using Plastite cabinet screws. These are
special thread forming screws; so do not over tighten. They should be torqued to
18 – 20 in-lbs.

COMPONENT TESTING, REPAIR AND REPLACMENT
accumulator will rise and fall. The high pressures should be consistent and
the low pressures should be consistent. The pressure swing will be
approximately 4-5 psi.
NOTE– Expected normal pressures observed depend on altitude and ow rate.
See the Typical Peak Accumulator Tank Pressure Range chart below.
• Increases in altitude and ow rate will slightly decrease accumulator
pressures.
• Lower altitudes and ow rates will slightly increase accumulator pressures.
NOTE– A defective check valve in the purge harness may cause a rapid drop in
accumulator pressure below the minimum value.

914 to 1524 m
3000 to 5000 ft. 21-30 145-207
6. Refer to the Type 1 – Purity Issues, found under Simplied Troubleshooting,
to determine the appropriate action to take in resolving abnormal pressure
cycles.
NOTE– A defective compressor will be indicated by slowly rising pressure.
Pressure may only reach a certain level and then stop.
Low oxygen concentration levels and accumulator pressures higher than normal
may indicate defective sieve beds. Severely contaminated beds may also cause
the pressure relief valve on the compressor to open.
NOTE– A malfunctioning rotary valve may also cause high accumulator tank
pressure and activation of the pressure relief valve. In this case it should be
determined whether the problem is with the sieve beds, valve, or both.
AUXILIARY OXYGEN PORT
All 1025 series concentrators are manufactured with an auxiliary oxygen port
located on the back of the unit.
To ll oxygen cylinders:
This external port can be used to ll oxygen cylinders with an FDA-cleared
cylinder lling device that is designed to use oxygen from a concentrator to ll a
cylinder. The port is only for use with FDA-cleared lling devices with compatible
oxygen input specications.The ow meter should be set at 6 LPM or less when
the concentrator is being used during cylinder ll. The port does not affect
concentrator performance if properly used. See gures below.
Auxiliary Port Output Specications:
Outlet Pressure ........................................ <15 psi
Outlet Flow ............................................. 2.0 LPM
Outlet Oxygen ..............................................>90%
Operation Time ...................................Continuous
Refer to the cylinder lling device instruction guide for the oxygent input/output
specications, connection and operating instructions.

WARNING
When using the Transller Caddy with a Transll device, always keep the
system on a at surface. Disassemble the system prior to moving.
CAPACITOR
The capacitor enables the compressor to start and run by supplying voltage to
the windings of the compressor motor. A defective capacitor will result in the
compressor running slower or not starting.
CAUTION– The 1025DS concentrators use a GSE compressor with a 60 mfd
capacitor. If replacement is necessary, be sure the correct capacitor is installed.
CAUTION– The 1025KS/1025UK concentrators use a GSE compressor with a
17.5/15 mfd capacitor respectively. If replacement is necessary, be sure the
correct capacitor is installed.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. When replacing the capacitor, do not touch the
terminals or allow metal objects to come in contact with the terminals on
the capacitor. The capacitor may hold a charge for several days after the
unit is turned off.
If a defective capacitor is suspected, a new one must be installed. The capacitor
is located beside the intake lter or next to the cooling fan in the base of the unit.
To replace the capacitor:
1. Make sure the unit is unplugged from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the back cabinet and also loosen the front cabinet and tilt it
forward. Use the cabinet removal instructions listed previously.
3. Disconnect the two wires from the terminals on the capacitor.
4. Cut the nylon cable tie holding the capacitor in place and remove the
capacitor.
5. Install the new capacitor and secure with a new cable tie.
6. Reconnect the wires to the new capacitor.
7. Replace both cabinets and secure with screws.
CHECK VALVES
Sieve Bed Check Valves
The sieve bed check valves, located in the purge harness between the outlet of
each sieve bed and the accumulator tank, allow oxygen to pass from the sieve
beds to the accumulator tank when the bed pressure is greater than the
accumulator tank pressure. These valves also prevent reverse ow of oxygen
from the accumulator tank to the sieve beds.
The purge harness includes a xed orice that directs a small amount of
pressurized oxygen into the discharging sieve bed to aid the nitrogen exhaust
process.
A defective sieve bed check valve will result in lower oxygen concentrations and
accumulator pressures.
Use the Accumulator Pressure Test listed previously to troubleshoot sieve bed
check valves.
• To replace a defective sieve bed check valve, remove the tubing on either
side of it and install a new valve making sure the outlet end is toward the
accumulator tank.

overheated. This protects the compressor from damage caused by heat build-up.
(Some models have an auxiliary thermostat mounted within the compressor
compartment.) Should this condition occur, the compressor will require several
minutes for the thermo-protective device to reset.
NOTE– A pressure relief (PR) valve is located on the pressure head to prevent
high pressure build up in the system should a component malfunction occur.
To test the compressor operating voltage:
The compressor requires line voltage to operate. If the compressor does not start
when the unit is turned on, the voltage input must be tested:
1. This voltage can be checked at the compressor connector using an AC
voltmeter or test light connected to the brown and blue wires. The voltmeter
is the best way to test.
Testing Compressor Voltage
Voltmeter Leads
2. If no voltage is detected, disconnect power and check for loose or broken
wires between the compressor connector and switch or wire harness.
3. If there is voltage at the compressor connector, then either the capacitor or
the compressor itself is defective.
To test the compressor for proper output:
NOTE– If the compressor is not providing a high enough output the patient alert
system may be activated.
1. Use the Cabinet Removal instructions listed previously to open the unit for
testing.
2. Use the Accumulator Pressure Test listed previously to observe the high
pressures, low pressures and the pressure drop.
3. Refer to the Type 1 – Purity Issues, found under Simplied Troubleshooting,
to determine the appropriate action to take in resolving abnormal pressure
cycles.
NOTE– A compressor, which slowly builds pressure that remains below 25 psi,
indicates worn cup seals and/ or reed valves.
If these conditions are observed then:
• The unit lter(s) may be occluded—check the air lter, compressor lter,
and intake lter for occlusions.
• There may be a severe leak in the system—check for air leaks using a leak
detection solution such as Snoop®or equivalent (must not contain ethylene
glycol).

MOLECULAR SIEVE BEDS
The build and release of pressure in the sieve beds indicates the health of the
sieve material and the operation of contributing components. Determine ‘good’ or
expected pressures for your altitude by testing bed pressures on multiple oxygen
concentrators that are producing at least 93% purity.
Check sieve bed pressures at the accumulator tank using the accumulator tank
test point. See Figure below.
Accumulator
"T" Fitting
NOTE– The pressure will rise and fall as it cycles through the rotary valve. The
pressure swing will be approximately 4-5 psi.
Also consider the acceptable pressure range for various altitudes as shown
below.
TYPICAL PEAK ACCUMULATOR TANK PRESSURE RANGE @ 10LPM
Altitude Psi kPa
0 to 457 m
0 to 1500 ft. 25-36 172-248
457 to 914 m
1500 to 3000 ft. 21-33 145-228
914 to 1524 m
3000 to 5000 ft. 21-30 145.207
To test sieve bed pressures:
1. Remove the plugged piece of 1/16" tubing from the accumulator tank.
2. Connect the pressure gauge to the test point and observe the cycling of
pressures. Refer to the section on Normal Operating Sequence and also
Accumulator Pressure Test.
a. If it is determined that the valve is not cycling the pressure, refer to
the section on Rotary Valve testing.
b. If the unit is cycling properly, allow it to operate for 20 minutes.
3. After 20 minutes of operation, observe the high and low pressures and
check the oxygen concentration level.
a. If the pressures are within the expected range and the oxygen
concentration is within specication, the sieve material is effective.
b. If pressures are not within the expected range and/or the oxygen
concentration is not within specication, refer to the Simplied
Troubleshooting Table in this manual to determine the proper
corrective action.
NOTE– If the molecular sieve material is found to be no longer effective, rst
search for the source of a malfunction in the system; then, for a cause for
contamination (such as leaks) and take corrective action.
To replace the molecular sieve beds:
NOTE– Make sure that the sealing caps remain on the new sieve beds until just
prior to connecting hoses and tubing.
1. Ensure any contamination problem has been corrected.
2. Ensure the unit is unplugged from the wall outlet.
3. Cut the plastic cable ties that secure the sieve beds to the internal structure
of the unit.
4. Remove the tubing from the ttings at the top of each sieve bed.
5. Remove the hose clamps and hose from the bottom of the sieve beds.
6. Install new sieve beds in reverse order using new plastic cable ties.
Position the new beds so that the bed serial number label is at the top of
the unit.
7. Leak test all connections with a certied leak detection solution such as
Snoop® or equivalent (must not contain ethylene glycol). Apply leak test
solution to all ttings and hose connections with unit running. If an air leak
is present, the solution will bubble. All leaks should be repaired before
putting the unit back in service.
CAUTION– Do not apply leak test solution to any part of the rotary valve or the
main PC Board assembly.
