2. Functional description
OXYMAT 3 is a time-controlled appliance, i.e. the changeover time remains constant; only the pressure is
monitored.
Layout
The appliance essentially consists of three components:
•the compressor,
•the O2 system,
•the electronic/pneumatic control.
During operation, the compressor draws in ambient air via a coarse dust filter and a suction filter,
and passes the compressed air (approx. 1.7 bar
overpressure) into containers with molecular sieves
where the actual oxygen enrichment takes place.
The functional principle of molecular sieves is
based on their property of absorbing the nitrogen
contained in the air. The oxygen contained in the
air is then collected in the oxygen tank (further details can be found in the chapter “ The O2 enrichment process” on page 6).
The outlet pressure is regulated by a pressurereducer set to 0.6 bar.
The required quantity (flow) of oxygen is set on the
oxygen dosage control knob 24. Where a flowmeter is used, the flow is controlled via the flow
control knob 27. The flow is read at the top edge
of the flowmeter ball 22.
Every time it is switched on, the appliance control
system performs an internal self-test of the entire O2
system. This test takes about a minute. If the test detects an error in the O2 system that results in a drop
in the oxygen concentration, it activates the yellow
status indicator 19.
After the self-test, OXYMAT 3 switches to normal
operation. During normal operation the sequence
control constantly monitors the electrical and pneumatic circuits of the oxygen system.

Ambient air
In order to allow the process to run continuously, the containers operate alternately, i.e. before one container
is saturated with nitrogen, the system switches to the second container, which then continues with oxygen
enrichment. During this period, the first container is regenerated by a brief reduction in pressure, and at the
same time is flushed by a partial flow of enriched oxygen. This procedure is implemented cyclically at 7second intervals, thereby ensuring continuous oxygen enrichment of the inspiratory air.
Functional description5
The level of oxygen concentration depends on the
set flow and is available within a few minutes.
The waste air is expelled to the rear via a noise
suppressor on the underside of the appliance.
The electronic control with microprocessor consists
of one circuit board. It is housed separately from
the oxygen system on the front panel.
The O2 enrichment process
The compressor draws the ambient air into the
housing via a coarse dust filter. Part of this air is
used to cool the compressor assembly. The other
part enters the compressor via the suction filter,
where it is compressed. A cooler reduces the temperature of the air. The compessed and cooled air
is then passed to the O2 system to enrich the oxygen.
Oxygen concentration
Flow [ l/min ]
Ambient air
The adsorption containers (ADS containers) are
alternately filled with compressed air in fixed
cycles, then regenerated by expanding the
compressed air and flushing with oxygen.
At the end of each enrichment, a pressure of
around 1.7 bar will have built up in the currently
active container.
After 7 seconds, the magnetic valves are alternately triggered by the electronic control and
switch between the two ADS containers.
Of the valves in the two ADS containers, one is
open and the other closed during operation.
Once the changeover time has been reached,
pressure compensation is implemented between
the two ADS containers. During pressure compensation, both valves are open for approximately
1 second.
The actual process of oxygen enrichment takes
place in the ADS containers. A molecular sieve
adsorbs the nitrogen from the air, thereby increasing the proportion of oxygen by volume.
As soon as the pressure in the ADS container has
risen sufficiently, air enriched with oxygen flows
into the oxygen tank at the other end of this container via the non-return valve.

6Functional description
Part of the oxygen flows via the flushing nozzle into
the other ADS container for flushing.
During the oxygen enrichment process, the area
where adsorption of the nitrogen occurs will shift
from the beginning of the ADS container towards
the end. Before reaching the end of the container,
the pressure between the two ADS containers is
compensated via the pressure compensating
valve. Parallel to this, the pressure escapes via the
noise suppressor and the other ADS container is
opened. The same procedure then takes place
there.
Via pressure compensation, the remaining oxygen
passes to the other ADS container, compression
energy is saved, and blow-off noise is reduced.
The nitrogen adsorbed in the first ADS container is
desorbed as a result of the pressure drop when the
valve is opened and is expelled via the noise
suppressor.
Displays and alarms
In order to attain adequate desorption of the molecular sieve, part of the oxygen extracted in one
ADS container is continuously passed to the other
ADS container via the flushing nozzle.
The oxygen stored in the oxygen tank at an overpressure of up to 1.7 bar is reduced to 0.6 bar via
the pressure-reducer.
The pressure sensor monitors this system pressure.
If the pressure falls below 0.5 bar or rises above
2.5 bar, the system activates visual and acoustic
alerts.
At an overpressure of around 0.6 bar, the oxygen
flows towards the outlet of the appliance.
The prescribed flow is set on the dosage monitor
or on the flowmeter. It then flows to the patient via
the nasal cannula.
•If a leak that is likely to cause a drop in the oxy-
gen concentration occurs after the internal self-
test, this situation is indicated immediately by a
visual warning signal (yellow lamp).
•If the compressor output falls off, a visual alarm
signal is displayed (red lamp flashes) and an
acoustic warning (intermittent tone) sounds.
Further information on displays and alarms can be found in Chapter “6.1 Visual and acoustic signals from
OXYMAT 3” on page 19“.
•The green lamp indicates that the system is operational.
•In the event of a power failure, an intermittent
warning signal will sound and the red lamp
will flash. The green lamp is not illuminated.

3. Servicing
3.1 General
•Important!
Enter the operating hours of OXYMAT 3 and the
oxygen concentration in your service record
(see page 78).
•The number of operating hours can be read
from the operating hours meter 4 on the front of
the device.
•As a precautionary measure, we recommend
that the OXYMAT 3 be serviced once a year
or every 5,000 operating hours.
•After each servicing, a functional check should
be carried out (see "5. Functional check" on
page 10).
Note: Dark discoloration of the intake filter 30 does
not mean that its flow characteristics are impaired,
provided its operating hours do not exceed
5,000 h; an exception applies if the device is operated in a very dusty environment.
3.2 Implementation
Servicing the OXYMAT 3 involves changing the coarse dust filter and the suction filter and performing a final
check (see "5. Functional check" on page 10).
The filters are located on the back of the appliance.
1. Detach the coarse dust filter 13 from the
service flap 38.

2. Release the lock on the service flap 38 and
remove the latter from the appliance.
When removing the suction filter, please proceed
with caution, since the connector and tube may be
torn off if the suction filter is handled carelessly.
3. You will find a black clip in the recess to the
left of the suction filter. Use your fingers or an
object to press against this clip to prevent it
from being pulled out as well.
4. Pull the suction filter 30 off the connector 71
without twisting. The suction filter must not be
twisted, as the connector could become

Hygienic Preparation9
5. Functional check
5.1 General
•Should you discover any faults or deviations
from the set values during your functional
check, OXYMAT 3 must not be used again until the faults have been rectified.
•The possible causes underlying the fault and
how to rectify them are outlined in Chapter “6.
Troubleshooting” on page 19.
Please use the following equipment to carry out the functional check:
•Oxygen measuring device,
•Filled oxygen cylinder with adjustable pressure reducer (e.g. HIT,WM 33100),
•Respiratory tubes WM 5726 and WM 5772.
•For environmental reasons a capacitor backup unit has been installed instead of a battery
to serve the power failure alarm function.
As soon as OXYMAT 3 is operational, the capacitor is recharged. Charging takes approximately 5 minutes.
If the device has been out of service for some
time, an alarm cannot be triggered until the device has been operational for at least 5 minutes.
5.2 Intervals
A final check must be performed on the appliance:
•after every service;
•after every repair.
5.3 Implementation
5.3.1 Checking the housing

5.3.8 Checking the operating hours meter
Check that the red minute counter on the operating
hours meter 4 is incremented every 6 minutes.
5.3.9 Checking the O2 concentration
Leave the OXYMAT 3 to run for at least 10 minutes
before starting the measurement.
Before you check the oxygen concentration on the
OXYMAT 3, you must first calibrate the oxygen
measuring device (e.g. OXYcontrol WM 13550).
For this purpose, you will need the respiratory tube
WM 5726 and an oxygen cylinder with an adjustable pressure reducer (e.g. WM 33100).
Caution !
Please observe the instructions for handling oxygen!
Important!
Before calibrating the oxygen sensor for the first
time, the sensor must be stored in ambient air for
at least 15 minutes (refer to instructions for use of
the sensor).
Observe instructions
for use!

How to calibrate the oxygen sensor:
1. Connect the oxygen measuring device to the
pressure reducer of the oxygen cylinder using
the respiratory tube WM 5726.
2. Slowly open the cylinder valve. One revolution
is sufficient!
3. Set a flow of 4 l/min at the pressure reducer.
4. Leave the oxygen measuring device (e.g.
OXYcontrol) flowing for approximately 2 minutes,
until the displayed oxygen level remains steady.
5. Set a value of "100" using the calibration
knob.
6. Close the cylinder valve again.
The oxygen measuring device is now calibrated
and you can check the oxygen concentration on
OXYMAT 3.
Please remember that OXYMAT 3 must have already
been operational for at least 10 minutes.
When operating with a dosage monitor:
Important!
It is vital that you empty the humidifier glass 25 of the
bubble humidifier; otherwise, the oxygen sensor of
the oxygen measuring device will be damaged.
7. Connect the oxygen measuring device:

The system pressure should only be tested if there is a fault in the appliance.
Fitting the test pressure gauge
1. Connect the test pressure gauge inlet directly
to the oxygen outlet 5.
If your pressure gauge also has an outlet, close
it (e.g. with your thumb).
2. Open the appliance housing (see "7.3 Opening the appliance" on page 29).
3. Open the strap system 42 without pulling the
strap out of its buckle.
4. Carefully remove foam section 44.
5. To prevent the ADS containers from slipping
out, lay the strap system 42 over the remaining
foam sections and gently tighten it.

To make fitting easier, the test pressure gauge is
not fitted directly to the inlet of the O2 tank, but
before the 6 mm diameter tube 56 which leads
directly to the O2 tank.
6. At the T-connector 74, push back the sleeve of
the elbow connector and remove the tube 56.
7. Push the tube of the test pressure gauge firmly
into the elbow connector.
8. Push the tube 56 into the free inlet of the test
pressure gauge.

15. Remove the dosage unit 21 or flowmeter 16
from the appliance.
16. Remove the pressure gauge.
17. Attach the tube 56.
18. Slacken the strap system.
19. Carefully insert the foam section 44 and tighten the straps again.
20. Close the appliance (see "7.4 Closing the
appliance" on page 30).
21. Perform a functional check (see "5. Functional
check" on page 10).
General
A check for leaks should only be made if there is a
problem with the appliance.
Method
Soap all connections between the compressor exit,
the pressure equalization system (tubes, exit) and
the shutoff valve after the pressure reducer.

6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Visual and acoustic signals from OXYMAT 3
6.1.1 Alarms
The following appliance states trigger an alarm:
1. Power failure
2. Overheating
3. Memory error
4. Under-pressure
5. Over-pressure
6. Implausible pressure measurement
7. Leak in O2 system
1. Power failure
The energy for a power failure alarm is supplied by
a capacitor back-up unit. If the capacitor back-up
unit is fully discharged, the power failure alarm is
not available for the first minute after switching on
the OXYMAT 3 until the back-up unit has charged
up again.
2. Overheating
A temperature sensor is mounted on the printed circuit board. If the temperature rises above 60 °C
(± 2.5 °C), an alarm is given and at the same time
the compressor is switched off. The compressor remains switched off as long as the temperature
alarm is activated. The cause may for example be
a malfunction of the fan.
3. Memory error
Every time the appliance is switched on, the
EEPROM is first read out. Among other things, this
contains the operating cycles for the valves and the
calibration data for the temperature sensor. A plausibility check is performed on the data read out.
If a memory error occurs:
– default values (basic settings) are read from
the program memory and used to start the
control program;
– the memory error alarm is activated;
– after every alarm cycle a fresh attempt is
made to read the EEPROM;
– after a successful read attempt the alarm is
terminated.
4. Under-pressure
This alarm is activated if the pressure sensor at the
inlet to the O2 system measures a pressure lower
than the required operating pressure.
5. Over-pressure
This alarm is activated if the pressure sensor at the
inlet to the O2 system measures a pressure higher
than the required operating pressure.
6. Implausible pressure measurement
Since the OXYMAT 3 has a time control, there
must be a defined pressure pattern over time. This
pressure pattern is measured by the pressure
sensor and analyzed by the appliance software. If
necessary an alarm is activated.
7. Leak in O2 system
Every time the appliance is switched on, the control system runs a leak test on the entire O2 system.
If a leak is found, the yellow status indicator 19 is
switched on, as sooner or later this leak in the O2
system may result in the oxygen concentration at
the outlet falling below 82 %.
During the leak test the green power indicator 20
flashes.After the leak test the OXYMAT 3 switches to
normal operating mode.
If the leak test is not successfully completed within
one minute, the control system stops the test cycle
and switches on the yellow status indicator 19 to
indicate an operating fault. The cause of the leak
must now be identified.
No further test for leaks is performed during normal
operation.
Troubleshooting19
6.1.2 Signal patterns
The alarm signal patterns are in accordance with EN 475 (see Table of Signal Patterns). To make it possible
to distinguish the alarm sources, this standard assigns specific signal patterns to individual error situations
(see Table of Error Situations).
Since it is possible that two or more errors may occur at the same time, the alarms are weighted by the
software and the appropriate alarm pattern is output. For example: if under-pressure and overheating occur
simultaneously, the alarm pattern for overheating is output (see Table of Alarm Situations).

6.1.3 Deactivating the signal functions
The signal functions can be deactivated by means of the switches S2, S3, S4 and S5 on the printed circuit
board. To see where the switches are located on the PCB, consult the illustrations in Section “10.1 Arrangement of the PCBs” on page 76.
