At the end of the hose near where the mask connects there is a 'thermistor' (temperature sensitive resistor) or similar component that monitors the temperature to prevent hose condensation. On a AS10 Climateline hose (three pin connection) at room temperature the resistance of the sensor is approxim...

If Resmed were to release a new model every 5 years I can only speculate it likely may drive the cost of the machine upwards due to engineering, design, tooling, and regulatory approval costs incurred more frequently to put a new model out. One way to offset costs related to production of frequent n...

The 12mm hose I used for my DS2 was about the best hose I ever used and I now have a Resmed AS10 and wish they made a similar super flexible hose. What I did for the Resmed hose was add a section of flexible hose to the end that attaches to the mask which helps a lot. If truly discontinued I would g...

It may not help where you presently use the AS10, but try placing the unit by a window and see if it can show a received signal there. On my cell phone the signal is weak inside the house, but if I try it near a window I can generally get a few more bars to show. One of the numbers on your AS10 indi...

Also using baby wipes to clean the mask parts.

The S10 Climate Line hoses have 3 pins at the electrical connector, and the newer S11 hoses have 4 pins. I'd like to know how many users even own a DVM, much less how to use it. That said, on A11 the outer 2 pins are the thermistor contacts, inner 2 the heater (they now have separate grounds). I th...

The definitive manual for troubleshooting ResMed Climateline tubing and similar devices is covered extensively in Electrical Testing And Maintenance Handbook, Vol. 11, AKA "The Electrician's Bible". Referring to Chapter 5, page 86, it is noted that evaluation of heated tubing can be classified into...

I should have mentioned that on the Resmed hose I have an extension on it which makes the end more flexible and closer to the 12mm hose. It doesn't appear to be available presently on Amazon (was about $10US), but possibly might be found on a CPAP supply retailer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GKBX88...

I used a DS2 for about 4 years using the 12mm heated tubing. It was extremely flexible and I hardly knew it was attached to the face mask. They held up really well and the hoses lasted for a long time. I do use a hanger that keeps the hose overhead which I think helps keep the hose from being rolled...

Where does that money come from? :wink: Taxes..... :lol: :lol: Unless the OP doesn't pay any taxes for any reason then I guess he pays for it .....just in a different not in your face way. There's a reason the UK has one of the highest tax rates of all the other countries. Kinda like someone here i...

Glad we have the NHS in the UK... as we don't pay for CPAP machines etc

Someone pays for the CPAP machines. Where does that money come from?

For those that may be relatively new to this board, LSAT has been selling CPAP/APAP machines here for a while. I bought an AS10 several years ago from him and I was very satisfied with the machine I bought and the transaction. Don't hesitate to message him if you might have any questions.

FWIW and if it helps anyone else I ohm'ed out the connections on two hoses and they were comparable, so likely not an issue with the hose. The sensor in the hose appears inversely temperature sensitive (temp goes up, resistance decreases. temp goes down, resistance increases). Measurement shown is a...

Heated hose as noted set at 82-84 deg. No hose cover. No gurgling in the hose as 'rainout', so the hose seems to be doing what it should and does feel slightly warm to the touch. The condensation is occurring in the mask. I've kinda wondered if the humidifier heat is not being regulated by the dial ...
