Mountain High EDS With In–Line Regulator
Manufacturer Part Number: 00EDS–1050–XX
General Description
Mountain High EDS With In–Line Regulator for built–in O2. Many factory built–in systems operate with regulated pressures that are not compatible (to high) with Mountain Highs EDS–Pulse Demand™ System. Our system requires approximately 20psi of regulated pressure.
The Mountain High In–line Stabilizing Regulator allows you to operate Our EDS units from an oxygen source with pressure up to 150psi, such as an Aircraft with a built–in oxygen system.
The EDS Pulse Demand™ systems can be ordered with the most common OEM type connectors for direct “Plug–n–Fly” operations.
BNC Oxygen connectors to work with almost any type of built–in aircraft oxygen systems.

The patented MH Pulse–Demand™ Electronic Delivery System (EDS) is designed to deliver aviation oxygen in the most efficient and convenient manner possible. With its user–selectable settings, APNEA Alarm and small size, the EDS is the most flexible portable digital electronic oxygen delivery system in the world.
How Pulse Demand Works
The patented MH EDS (Electronic Delivery System) is a one (O2D1–2G) or two–user (O2D2–2G) aviation oxygen delivery device. It is designed to deliver aviation oxygen in the most efficient, comfortable and convenient way possible. With its user-selectable settings, apnea alarm and small size, the MH EDS is the most portable and flexible electronic digital oxygen delivery system in the world. By providing a measured pulse of oxygen every time you breathe in, the MH EDS supplies the oxygen you need to stay alert and comfortable while flying. In contrast to constant flow systems that waste oxygen by supplying more than your body can use, the MH EDS provides a short pulse of oxygen as you inhale, ensuring that your oxygen is used most efficiently. Efficient oxygen delivery means you can fly further on a single oxygen refill or save space and weight with a smaller tank. It also makes it more feasible to enjoy the advantages of oxygen while flying below the altitudes where oxygen is mandated – that can mean fewer headaches, increased alertness, and feeling less exhausted when you reach your destination. Your actual oxygen usage will be determined by your breathing rate and physiological needs at altitude. The programmability of the MH EDS means that, unlike constant–flow oxygen systems, you can “set it and forget it”. By automatically detecting your pressure altitude, the MH EDS can be set to start providing oxygen immediately or at a specified altitude and will automatically adjust the oxygen flow as your altitude changes. When you're flying, don't you have more important things to do than adjust your oxygen flow during altitude changes?
The EDS–O2D1–2G System enables the general aviation pilot to fly at pressure altitudes up to 25,000′ with safety and comfort. The EDS–O2D1–2G digital Pulse– Demand™ system reduces Oxygen consumption dramatically. Different from the “standard” constant flow systems, the EDS–O2D1–2G Pulse–Demand™ system wastes no Oxygen during the breathing cycle when oxygen is is not being delivered to the lungs. The average user will enjoy a duration increase of two to three times compared to the constant flow systems.
The built in Barometer adjusts for Altitude increase while reducing the pilots work load.
Abandoned unit auto shut off: If you should forget to turn your EDS off after use, it will now go into auto shut–down (drawing very little power) after 3 hours of detecting no use in an attempt to save the batteries for another flight.
Why Must We Use Extra Oxygen When We Ascend In Altitude?
The blanket of air which surrounds our planet is several hundred miles thick, compressible, and has weight. The air closest to the earth is supporting the weight of the air above it and, therefore, is more dense; its molecules are packed closer together. As we ascend in altitude, the air is less dense. For example, at 10,000 feet, the atmospheric pressure is only two–thirds of that at ground level. Consequently, the air is less dense, and each lungful of air contains only two thirds as many molecules of oxygen as it did at ground level. At 18,000 feet the atmospheric pressure is only one–half of that at ground level. Although the percentage of oxygen is still the same as at ground level, the number of molecules of oxygen in each lungful is reduced by one-half. As we ascend, there is a progressive reduction in the amount of oxygen taken into the lungs with each breath, and a corresponding decrease in the amount of oxygen available for the bloodstream to pick up and transport to every cell in the body. To compensate for this progressive oxygen deficiency, we must add pure oxygen to the air we breathe in order to maintain enough oxygen molecules to supply the metabolic needs of the body.
At What Altitude Should Oxygen Be Used?
In general, it can be assumed that the normal, healthy individual is unlikely to need supplementary oxygen at altitudes below 8,000 feet. One exception is night flying. Because the retina of the eye is affected by even extremely mild hypoxia, deterioration of night vision becomes significant above 5,000 feet. Between 8,000 and 12,000 feet, hypoxia may cause the first signs of fatigue, drowsiness, sluggishness, headache, and slower reaction time. At 15,000 feet, the hypoxic effect becomes increasingly apparent in terms of impaired efficiency, increased drowsiness, errors in judgment, and difficulty with simple tasks requiring mental alertness or muscular coordination. These symptoms become more intensified with progressively higher ascent or with prolonged exposure. At 20,000 feet, a pilot may scarcely be able to see, much less read, the instruments. His or her hearing, perception, judgment, comprehension, and general mental and physical faculties are practically useless. The pilot may be on the verge of complete collapse. Therefore, the availability and use of supplemental oxygen is recommended on night flights where altitudes above 5,000 feet are contemplated, and for altitudes above 8,000 feet on daytime flights.
