Vehicle Safety Tips

These vehicle safety tips are written according to statements from the manufacturer.

• When the device is not in use , the Shielded DC Cord should not be plugged into the vehicle.
• When DC power is being drawn from a vehicle battery, the manufacturer suggests only using when the vehicle’s engine is turned off. Please observe battery capacity to avoid draining the vehicle’s battery.
• The alternator, which runs when the vehicle is in use, can cause voltage spikes that will potentially damage the DC cord.
• The 12 volt is intended to be used with systems that are either “positive hot” or “negative ground” only. If these details are unknown, speak with the manufacturer of the vehicle.

How to Tell the Difference Between a 60 Series and 50 Series Machine

1. Color
   • PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines and Heated Humidifiers are charcoal gray with metallic silver side and instrument panels.
   • Original 50 Series PR System One units are dark gray with ivory colored side and instrument panels.
2. Branding
   • The PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines have the words “System One” in raised or embossed letters stamped in silver on both the machine and humidifier.
   • Original 50 Series PR System One units do not have raised lettering, the branding information is painted onto the unit.
3. Machine and Humidifier Connections
   • PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines and Heated Humidifiers have a 6 pin connection between the machine and humidifier.
   • Original 50 Series PR System One Units have a 4 pin connection between the machine and humidifier
   • PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines and Heated Humidifiers have a mechanical connection between the machine and humidifier
   • Original 50 Series PR System One Units have 2 tabs on the humidifier that fit into 2 slots on the machine.
4. Model Number Reference
   • PR System One REMStar 60 Series Machines label identification example: the label on the bottom of the PR System One REMStar 60 Series Auto CPAP lists: “REMStar Auto”; “REF” of 560P; and Serial Number identified by “SN”. The number 560 references the part number of the machine.
   • Original 50 Series PR System One Machines label identification on the bottom of other versions of System One machines lists: Machine name; “REF” that does not have the number “6” in the second position from the left; and Serial Number identified by “SN”. For example the label on the bottom of a PR System One REMstar Auto CPAP Machine with A-Flex lists “REMStar Auto” and “REF” of 550P. The number 550 references the part number of the machine.

Regarding Heated Humidifiers, Please Note:

The Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines uses an 8 AMP Fuse . It comes packaged with two additional 8 AMP fuses. This same fuse is used when using the machine alone and when the heated humidifier and heated hose are used.

When using the heated humidifier with a machine, the battery run time will be significantly reduced. Assume that the battery run time will be cut in half with the use of a heated humidifier. If the heated tube is also used, assume that the battery run time will be reduce by another quarter of the time.

To get the longest run time out of a battery, it is suggested to use the CPAP without the heated humidifier or heated tube. To add some moisture to the air stream, consider using the humidifier as a passover by connecting the humidifier filled with water, but without the power turned on. In this way a heated humidifier is functioning as a passover humidifier.
