12 volt problems

Post by Chainfall » Mon Apr 08, 2024 3:02 pm

Using my Air sense10 on usb plug in rv with the 12 to 24 adapter.
I turn off the humidifier and tube warmer for power usage.

The machine just turns on and off constantly. Mask is just as I use it at home
Any thoughts?

With the info given I have to guess low voltage.

Are you saying you are trying to power the CPAP machine with USB? That can't supply enough power. The machine would reset when the motor starts. If you are in an rv, you should be able to get 12 volts.
