9. If you want to disinfect the mask, after carry-
ing out the aforementioned cleaning and washing
operations, immerse the clean mask in a diluted
solution of common disinfectant. Dry with a soft
and clean cloth or blow with a light jet of fresh air;
10. Charge the electric fan if necessary;
11. Replace the filter after each decontamination
shower.
RECHARGE
BLS 2600next electric fan must always be fully re-
charged before use. The charger requires a power
supply of 100-240 Volt, 50HZ and is optimized to
guarantee maximum battery life (min. 500 cycles/
recharge), if properly used. The battery charger
features a connection cable equipped with a po-
larized plug, used to connect to the electric fan.
Connect the battery charger to the electric fan
by means of the charging socket located on the
electric fan. A recharge generally takes 6 hours;
a longer time does not damage the battery as the
battery charger is equipped with a charge current
control device and timer. At the end of the recharg-
ing operation it is necessary to disconnect the re-
charging system and reposition the rubber cap on
the electric fan’s charging socket. This protection
keeps the water out during the decontamination
shower; the protection also keeps the contaminant
out during use.
DISCONNECTED BATTERY INDICATIONS
Battery disconnected alarm is indicated by
GREEN FLASHES. In this mode, the charger will
apply short pulses attempting to restore fully dis-
charged batteries.
STANDBY MODE INDICATIONS
Yellow with 1 red flash: the battery temperature is
too low (<0 °C)
Yellow with 2 red flashes: the battery temperature
is too high (>45 °C)
ERROR INDICATIONS
2 red flashes: the battery is connected to the char-
ger with the wrong polarity!
3 red flashes: the charger output is shorted. Check
the connection of the output cable!
4 red flashes: the battery voltage is low. Check the
battery status or voltage.
5 red flashes: the safety timer has expired. Check
the battery status or capacity.
LED off: the battery voltage is too high. Check the
battery voltage.
At the end of the recharging operation it is nec-
essary to disconnect the recharging system and
reposition the rubber cap on the electric fan’s
charging socket. This protection keeps the water
out during the decontamination shower; the pro-
tection also keeps the contaminant out during use.
STORAGE AND USEFUL LIFE OF THE PPE
If the BLS 2600next electric fan is not used, it must
be stored in a clean and dry place (maximum hu-
midity 75%), away from heat sources (tempera-
tures between -10 °C and +50 °C). Keep in mind
that the battery could be damaged during long
storage periods, therefore in order to keep it effi-
cient it is recommended to carry out a discharge/
charge cycle every two/three months of inactivity.
The battery can be discharged by switching on the
fan for a number of hours sufficient to enable the
red low battery LED. It may be useful to remove
the battery from the fan for long periods of inactiv-
ity (over six months).
INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Depending on the work to which the BLS 2600next
electric fan is subjected, it is necessary to check
the following parts periodically:
1. Mask: see use and maintenance instructions
attached to the relevant mask models.
2. Corrugated flexible hose: check its integrity; it
must not be cut, perforated or deformed.
3. Electric fan body: check the integrity of the filter
edge; it must not be scratched or crushed in order
to compromise the seal.
4. Belt: check its integrity; it must not have cuts or
scratches, and the closing buckle must be func-
tional and well connected to the belt.
In the event of a significant decrease in the air flow
rate during use, this may depend on:
1. Excessively clogged filter;
2. Cut or perforated hose;
3. Low battery;
4. Faulty battery;
5. Faulty battery charger;
6. Faulty motor/fan.
These troubles must be checked in the aforemen-
tioned sequence, after leaving the work area.
IMPORTANT
Any maintenance intervention must be authorized
and carried out at centers appointed by BLS Srl.
In the event of faults regarding the electric fan’s
motor or internal parts, the BLS 2600next electric
fan must be sent perfectly DECONTAMINATED,
accompanied by a note indicating the fault and a
self-certification of decontamination. This is to en-
sure prompt repairs and checks carried out with
the appropriate tools and in total safety. For further
information, please contact [email protected].
