During use
3.3.1
Adjusting the flow rate
If necessary (e.g. during increased physical exertion), the flow
rate must be adjusted during operation using the
and
buttons.
3.3.2
Warnings and alarms
If a warning appears, leave the working area promptly in view
of the potentially hazardous situation.
Lower the flow rate to increase the period of service if a warn-
ing appears. (Only possible if the lowest level has not already
been chosen.) By lowering the flow rate you can e.g. extend
the battery runtime.
If an alarm is triggered, leave the working area immediately
without any delay.
Check the function of the device after a warning or alarm has
been triggered (see section 4 on page 20).
3.4
After use
Do the following:
1. Leave the hazardous area.
2. Remove the facepiece (see Instructions for Use of the cor-
responding facepiece).
3. Switch off the fan unit by pushing
the
button on the con-
trol panel for approx. 2 seconds.
4. Open the carrying system belt and take off the device.
5. Clean and disinfect the device (see section 5.2 on page
21).

Warnings
The type of warning is indicated optically by yellow flashing of
the corresponding indicator. In addition, an acoustic warning
signal and the vibration alarm are triggered.
WARNING
Health hazard!
Leave the danger zone immediately in case of:
z
Decreasing or interrupted air supply (e.g. after fan
failure)
In the hood/helmet/protective visor facepiece type,
carbon dioxide can quickly build up or lack of oxy-
gen may occur. Noxious ambient air may also pen-
etrate the hood.
z
Odour or taste developing in the facepiece (filter
break). The residual capacity of the gas filter or the
gas filter components of the combination filter are
exhausted.
z
Drowsiness, dizziness, or other complaints
z
Damage to the equipment
z
Other indicated alarms (see section 4 on page 20)
Breathing hoses or other components involve the risk
of getting caught. This may damage the device and in-
terrupt the air supply!
Handle the device with care.
Breathing in during heavy work while wearing the
hood/helmet/protective visor facepiece type may result
in negative pressure and the penetration of unfiltered
ambient air!
Increase the flow rate to prevent this from happening.

.
The residual run-
time of the re-
chargeable battery

Recharge the bat-
tery soon or re-
place with fully
charged battery
(see section 5.3.3
on page 22).
A segment of the

ual capacity indica-
tor is flashing

The particle filter
residual capacity is
low (< 20 %).
Change particle or
combination filter
soon (see section
5.3.4 on page 22).
A segment of the
flow rate indicator
is flashing
yellow
.
Malfunction during
switch-on (e.g.
caused by missing
hose or filter).
Verify device func-
