• DO NOT USE THIS COMPRESSOR IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE ANESTHETICS.

• NEVER TRY TO PUT OXYGEN INTO THE COMPRESSOR. THE COMPONENTS ARE NOT APPROVED FOR OXYGEN SERVICE.

• REFER ALL REPAIRS TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

• WARNING: TO HELP PREVENT FIRE / SHOCK HAZARD, REPLACE ONLY WITH FUSE OF EQUAL SIZE AND RATING.

• DO NOT use the PCS-414 with blenders, respirators or other respiratory equipment that requires dry air without an optional air cooler.

• When making attachments to the outlet DO NOT use wrenches or excessive force. This can cause damage to internal fittings and tubing.

• DO NOT lubricate any part of the compressor with oil, grease or petroleum products. If these substances come in contact with the diaphragm, they can adversely affect the service life of the compressor.

• DO NOT substitute parts. Such substitutions can cause premature product failure and may void warranty.

A. Unpack and inspect for shipping damage.

B. Before operating the compressor, remove the (4) shipping bolts from the bottom of the unit. This will allow the compressor to hang freely inside the cabinet. Retain the (4) shipping bolts for future shipping of the PCS-414.

C. Uncoil the power cord and plug the appliance connector into the back of the PCS-414 compressor. You can now plug it into a receptacle marked “Hospital Grade”.

D. Turn the power switch on and verify that the unit functions properly.

1. 0 – 100 pressure gauge displays outlet pressure.

2. Power switch turns the compressor on and off.

3. Oxygen DISS outlet fitting to facilitate attachment of equipment. (provides air only)

4. Pressure regulator to adjust outlet pressure from 0 to 50 PSI.

5. Inlet filter.

NOTE: THE UNIT WILL NOT START UNTIL THE INTERNAL PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELIEVED.

A. Position the PCS-414 so that there is at least three inches of open space on all sides. This ensures proper ventilation, which is vital for overheat prevention.

B. Plug the power cord in and turn the unit on.

C. Block the flow from the outlet and adjust pressure to manufacturer’s recommended pressure.

D. Turn the power off and attach the desired respiratory equipment to the outlet.

NOTE: UNDER LOW FLOW OR NO-FLOW CONDITIONS, THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT START. DISCONNECT OR LOOSEN LOAD TO ALLOW AIR TO FLOW AND COMPRESSOR TO START. CONNECT THE LOAD AFTER THE COMPRESSOR STARTS.

Performed as needed

Clean the exterior of the PCS-414 with a damp cloth.

Weekly Maintenance

Clean the cabinet inlet filter with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling filter.

The following are potential solutions if your ALLIED TIMETER PCS-414 is overheating:

• Move unit to a better ventilated area.

• Clean the cabinet inlet filter.

• Replace the cooling fan.

The following are potential solutions if your ALLIED TIMETER PCS-414 has low pressure while the motor is running:

• Reset the pressure regulator.

• Check outlet for leaks.

• Check internal fittings for leaks.

• Install pump service kit.

The following are potential solutions if your ALLIED TIMETER PCS-414 has low pressure and the motor is not running:

• Plug unit in.

• Replace compressor fuses. Relieve output pressure before starting.

• Wall outlet’s fuse/breaker blown.

• Thermal overload has shut down the pump, see overheating. The pump will restart in 10-15 minutes.

• Internal system failure. Refer to qualified service personnel.
