CAIRE Eclipse 5 - Typical Battery Recharge Time; Typical Power Cartridge Operating Times at 80% Charge

PN 2118245 C | User Manual 17 - ENG
Eclipse 5
* Batteries are recyclable. *
In the event of an AC or DC power interruption,
the Eclipse 5 will beep and automatically switch to
Battery operation, as long as the Battery is present
and charged. When AC power is restored, the
Eclipse 5 will beep and the Battery will auto-
matically start recharging, if not fully charged or
too warm. If the Battery is not present, or fully
discharged, during an AC power interruption, the
Eclipse 5 will shut down and alarm. The Battery is
fully discharged when the Power Cartridge Status
Gauge on the control panel is no longer illumi-
nated. The device will display a yellow light and
sound a beep for 120 seconds. The yellow light will
remain on and the beep will repeat after 20 seconds
until the device completely shuts down.
Note: Press and hold the Eclipse 5 ON/OFF button
for a minimum of 5 seconds, to silence the Loss
of Power alarm. Connecting the Eclipse 5 to an
external AC power supply for 2 minutes will also
eliminate this alarm.

Note: Operating the Oxygen Concentrator outside
of its normal operating temperature range can
affect performance and decrease battery run time
and/or increase battery charge time. (Refer to the
Specifications section in this manual.) You will
achieve longer operating time on the Battery if you
operate your Eclipse 5 in the Pulse Mode (Physician
approved mode).
Typical Battery Recharge Time
The typical time to recharge your Battery to
achieve 80% capacity from a fully discharged
Battery is between 2 and 5 hours, depending upon
the device ow setting. When the battery is fully
charged, the battery gauge will cease cascading.
The battery can be charged in the unit when the
Eclipse 5 is turned off and plugged in.
If the Battery becomes too warm during discharg-
ing, recharging will not begin until the Battery suf-
ciently cools. Removing the Battery and allowing
it to cool may expedite this cooling process.
When operating the Eclipse 5 on DC power, the
battery will recharge while the unit is running at
2.0LPM or less if sufcient power is available.
