Step 0 -- Let s talk about Safety During the setup process, as well as during daily operation of your HVO system, be aware that you will be working with oxygen under pressure, which, when combined with a fuel, is potentially explosive. To avoid injury or death, follow these safety precautions: Wear safety glasses. Work in a clean, dust-free, flame-free (during setup), well-ventilated environment. Ensure that you have proper power. Leave all electrical work to a professional. Do not use extension cords or power strips. Never use parts that have been treated with oil. Do not use replacement compressors from a third-party as they may not be oxygen rated or otherwise compatible with the HVO system. Be advised that tanks not specifically designed to contain oxygen and which have not been treated for oxygen use may be extremely hazardous. For example, propane tanks should never under any circumstances be used as oxygen storage tanks. HVO tanks are designed to store oxygen generated by PSA (oxygen concentrator) systems only. The pressure in these tanks should not exceed 150 psi. HVO tanks are equipped with a 200 psi blow-off valve. Do not tamper with or replace the blow-off valve. Never fill HVO storage tanks with liquid oxygen, as this may cause an explosion. Never fill HVO storage tanks using homefill compressors as these compressors create extremely high pressure and may explode the tank. Do not attempt to transport the HVO system when the tank is pressurized. Follow the recommended procedure for emptying the oxygen storage tank before transporting. Use only oxygen-rated tubing and fittings. Use only HVO approved replacement parts. Call us if you have questions. We are happy to help! (402) 476-0555 3
Step 1: Choose the System Location Choose an indoor location that is Clean, Dust-Free, dry, & well-ventilated ambient room temperature must be 45-90 If you plan to build shelving or cabinets for your HVO system: Make sure the enclosure is well-ventilated Locate the oxygen concentrators low to the ground, where it is coolest, and where oxygen density is highest. Keep in mind that you ll need to look in on your system from time-to-time.. It should be easy to access. 4
Step 2: Get the Power Ready Work with a certified electrician to determine power requirements Based on your configuration Click here for more information about HVO Power. NOTE We recommend against the use of extension cords and power strips. Ensure that your power connections are located within 5 feet of your HVO system. Master 5 amps Drone (naked or dressed) 5 amps 3-Outlet Relay Box 20 amps 5-Outlet Relay Box 30 amps 5
Step 3: Get an Approved Oxygen Regulator Use an oxygen regulator with a flow rate That matches your usage. If you have questions about the right Regulator for your setup, give us a Call. Nut size is about 1.25 (CGA standard). 6
Step 4: Get the Tools You ll Need Electric Drill with Phillips-Head Bit (to open the crate) Socket Set (To remove tank from crate base) Two 18 adjustable wrenches (To gently connect O2 regulator) Dish Soap Solution in a Spray Bottle (to bubble-test for leaks) Zip-ties (to secure power cords and oxygen lines) 7
Step 5: Unpack the crate Place the crate on a level surface Unscrew and remove the lid (#1) Unscrew and Remove the front panel (#2) Using the proper socket size, remove the Bolts from the base of the tank Lift the tank off the base and place on the floor Carefully remove the remaining contents 2. 1. 8
Step 6: Prepare the Master NOTE Don t plug the system in until the last step. No power is needed yet! The master is the head box and tank combo. Place the master in its permanent location. Ensure that the ball valve is in the open position. the tank MUST NOT be under pressure. remove the hex nut cap and install a bushing in the opening. The bushing will be used to connect the braided steel line that runs between The master and Drone tanks. Remove hex nut cap side view 9
Step 7: Prepare the Drone The naked drone is the tank with the exposed compressor on top. Position the drone so that the braided steel line can reach between the two tanks, leaving at least 2-3 inches of slack. connect the braided steel line to the two tanks: The steel line is shipped with teflon tape on both ends. Do not install without teflon tape or the fitting will leak oxygen. Ensure that the opening in each tank has a bushing into which you can thread the ends of the steel line. Use two adjustable wrenches to tighten each End of the steel line -- One to stabilize the bushing and the other to tighten the fitting.. master drone 10
Step 8: Prepare the Oxygen Concentrators The oxygen concentrators (oxycons) will be split into two sets (A&B), with at least 2 per set. Watch a video to learn how to remove batteries from M10 oxycons Connect ¼ oxygen manifold lines (shown in green below) from set A (hand tighten the brass fittings) to a push-to-connect manifold (black plastic block) that terminates with a 3/8 line. Repeat for set B. Position two relay boxes (A&B) near the tanks. Plug in the oxycon power cords from set A to relay box A. Repeat for set B. Box A Set A Set B Box B 11
Step 9A: Connect the Components Firmly push the 3/8 oxygen line from oxycon set A into the push-to-connect in the back of the master. Repeat for set B into the naked drone s push-to-connect. Use an adjustable wrench to Connect the oxygen regulator to the master ball valve assembly. Do not over-tighten! Double-check all connected components. Close the ball valve in preparation to pressurize your system. 12
Step 9B: Connect the Components Ensure that the master switch is in the 0 (Off) position. Attach a power cord to the master and plug into household power. Attach power to the relay boxes. plug each relay box into a separate dedicated circuit. Plug the naked drone power into one of the relay boxes. Attach a coaxial cable from master to relay A. Connect a second coaxial cable from relay A to relay B. Connect a third coaxial cable from relay box B to the drone. 13
Your system should look like this* Box A Set A Set B Box B O 2 Master Drone Key Rear View Power Oxygen Coaxial 20 AMP 30 AMP *Assumes 6 oxycons. Your power requirements may differ. 14
Step 10: Power Up! Turn all of the oxycon power switches on, and leave them on at all times. At this point, the oxycons will not power up until the master is turned on. Turn the master power switch on. Now the system should come to life. You should see the lights on the oxycons turn on, and you ll hear the compressors running in both the master and the drone. Watch the analog pressure gauge. In a few minutes you should see pressure building up. Once there is visible pressure, begin testing all fittings for leaks using a sprayer with soapy water. If you find a leak, turn the system off, Drain the tanks, fix the leak, and try again. 15
Congratulations! Your system should build pressure until it reaches the maximum for the model you re using (100 psi for the Standard, 150 psi for the Mighty Mite and MAX). When the pressure falls below the lower threshold (30 psi or 100 psi, depending on the model), the system will automatically turn on and begin recharging your tanks with oxygen. You can leave your system on 24x7. Switch off and close the ball valve when the system will be unused for a period of days. Please Remember to mail in your warranty card.
