USING DC POWER TO RUN THE AUTOSET CS2
The AUTOSET CS2 can be run on DC current in case of power failure or for portable use. ResMed supplies a convertor that allows a 12V battery to be connected to the DC input of the AUTOSET CS2. The converter can also be plugged in to a power source in a car or plane. When using DC current, power is turned on and off via the switch on the connector to the power source, not the power switch at the back of the AUTOSET CS2. The DC converter is a separate accessory that can be purchased through your ResMed distributor.
The humidifer heater will be automatically disabled when the AUTOSET CS2 is operating from the DC supply.
Power consumption of the AUTOSET CS2 varies with treatment settings. A typical current of between 2.5A and 3.0A will be drawn from a 12V battery during use. Adequate battery type and sizing is required before operation on DC, and it is recommended that ResMed’s Technical Services division be contacted for information on your specific application.
CAUTION
! The AUTOSET CS2 uses 30V DC power. Only connect the AUTOSET CS2 to DC power using the ResMed
