Assembling the compressor
The compressor is a rocking piston compressor, that has the inside part on the strings and it is moving (you can read a thorough article about compressors and what is important about them from here). In order to protect it through long transportation, we have had to use padding on the inside of the compressor and it has to be removed before usage.
NB! you have to remove the padding from inside before using the compressor!
Here is a video about how to do that. The package includes right size screwdriver for assembling the chassis.
It is a bit inconvenient but at the current moment it was the best way to protect the inside of the compressor from making dents on the outside chassis. We are working on finding better solution and apologize for the inconvenience of assembling the compressor before the first use.
Here is a video how to remove the padding and put the compressor together:
Assembling the chamber
Here is the series of instructions of how to assemble everything. It is best to view the videos in the same order.
Checking what is in the box
The box includes:
- Chamber body with manual relief valve, 1,5 ata automatic relief valves and 2 plugs attached to it
- 3 hoses attached together
- Spare compressor filter (if you have ordered it)
- Other automatic relief valves - 1,1 ata and 1,3 ata
- User manual
- Silencer/muffler + adaptor
- Spare air inlet
- Tape
- Strings for zipper
- Tool for opening manual valve if needed
- External pressure gauge
- Internal pressure gauge
Attaching external pressure gauge
In this video there is also instruction how to use the tape.
Attaching internal pressure gauge
Attaching silencer/muffler
Attaching or changing the relief valves
You always have to have the same relief valves on both sides.
Attaching the hose
Checking if you have everything you need on the chamber
Here is a final video that does a check if everything is attached and assembled and ready for use.
Here is a checklist what the chamber has to have:
- Manual valve (already attached)
- External pressure gauge
- Internal pressure gauge
- Automatic relief valves (same on both sides)
- Air inlet and hose connected to it
- 2 plugs (already attached)
- Hose connected to the compressor
- Compressor cable plugged in
And you are ready to go!
Changing the filter on the compressor
This is for future, when you need to change the filter. It is recommended to exchange the filter after 800 working hours or once a year.
How to use the hyperbaric chamber
Here is an instruction how to use the chamber. You are also always welcome to ask additional questions from us and we can also make a video call!
Useful tip: use Barometer Plus app
You can use Barometer Plus app to measure the exact pressure with your phone.
This app helps to measure the pressure more precisely and is easy to use. It works on all the newer phones that have pressure sensories.
- Download the app
- Change the measurement unit to ATM (it´s basically same as ATA)
Keep in mind that the the chamber actually raises pressure relative to the air pressure. So when the starting air pressure is lower than 1 ATM then the end pressure with 1,3 ATA relief valves is also lower than 1,3 ATA. Also the relief valves have +/- 0,02 ATA range of preciseness.
