Oxygen Concentrator Information
SeQual's Regalia Oxygen Concentrators are quiet, reliable and low maintenance sources of oxygen. The Regalia
is designed and constructed to consistently provide high concentrations of oxygen in a lightweight, compact
cabinet that is easy to maneuver.
Using Oxygen Concentrators
"No Smoking or Naked Flames" The use of oxygen requires that special care be taken to reduce
the risk of fire. Materials that burn in air and even some material that will not burn in air are
easily ignited and burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. For safety concerns, all possible
sources of ignition must be kept away from the oxygen concentrator and preferably out of the
room in which it is being used. Smoking in the proximity of an operating oxygen concentrator is
dangerous, and can permanently damage the device and void the warranty.

version) LPM will tolerate higher temperature/humidity conditions.
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 filter 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 airflow 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 five (5) feet (1.5 m) away from hot,
sparking objects or open sources of flame. Do Not locate the unit near any heat source or heat register.
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. Important: The tube fitting 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 flow and any accessories used between DISS fitting 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.
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 of this manual.
