SLEEPCUBE DC OPERATION
Battery Power
Your SleepCube can be operated from a 12V DC power source in a motor home, boat or other recreational vehicle using
the 12V DC cable. Alternatively you can power your SleepCube using a 12V DC stand-alone (deep-cycle marine) battery
with a DC battery clamp on adapter and 12V DC cable. All cables are available from your equipment provider (refer to
Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part numbers). The stand-alone battery connection uses clamps that attach
to the terminal connections of the battery.

Approximate Run
Time
NOTE–Run times are at a breath rate of 20 breaths per minute, standard mask leak, and with heater setting of 8 where
applicable.
NOTE–The heater for the SleepCube's humidification system will not operate directly from a 12V DC power source. If you
need humidification, non-heated humidification is still available. Alternately, instead of connecting12V DC power directly to
the SleepCube, you can pass the DC power through an inverter that will deliver AC power to the system. This will allow the
heater to function. The power rating of the inverter must be at least 200 watts @ 110V~ / 400 watts @ 220V~.
NOTE–The SleepCube will automatically switch power sources between AC and 12V DC if both sources are available. If
your unit is connected to both AC and 12V DC power sources, it will operate on AC power as long as AC power is present
and automatically switch to 12V DC power if AC power is lost. When AC power is restored, it will return to the AC source.
You do not need to reset or adjust any settings when the power source switches, but remember that your heater will not
operate on 12V DC.
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN
WARNING-OXYGEN USE
•
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not smoke while using this device with
supplemental oxygen. Do not use this device near hot objects, volatile substances or sources of open flames.
•
Always turn on the SleepCube before turning on the oxygen source. Turn off the oxygen source before turning off the
SleepCube.
•
This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
•
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary depending on the pressure
setting, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP devices.
•
Never allow the oxygen source to run continuously while connected to the SleepCube if the device is not in use. If
the SleepCube is not being used, turn off the oxygen flow.
CAUTION
•
Oxygen is prescribed gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.
•
The flow setting of the oxygen source must be specified by a physician.
