Voltage Converter?

I am interested to by Respironics M-Series Plus with C-Flex from US web site (cpap.com). I just want to ask those of you in US does the unit comes with a voltage converter? So that I can use it no matter 220-240V/50Hz(Australia) or 110-127V/60Hz(US)? I am in Australia.

It works fine on Australia mains. I've used my M Series Auto here heaps.

In fact the power cords it uses are standard "appliance cords". When I moved here from the US I just went down to Paddy's Markets and bought a few of these for 4 dollars each. Now I don't even need a plug adapter with it.

You can get these cords at Jaycar or Dick Smith as well.

The technical answer is that the unit will accept 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz.

Which means that for > 95% of the world (if not the full 100%) if you have power coming out of the wall, the CPAP will work on it. all you have to do is adapt the plug.

This is true for both the M-Series and the M-Series humidifier. As for the other units, they are probably the same.

I personally will be testing mine in Indonesia next week (240V 50 Hz.)

240V 50hz is merely the most common mains voltage in Indonesia, but its by no means standardised, even across Java. Most of the cities and big towns do have 240V 50Hz power and it is mostly reliable, but after that......

if you have power coming out of the wall

Which is indeed a problem in many parts of Indonesia even, when the sockets are there.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I just got my A-Flex today and it works perfectly, Australian Custom did not cause any problem. Thanks so much to everyone for all your helps
