1. DESCRIPTION.
1.1 HELMET: is composed of a fibre shell covered with 3 coats of paint, the last one of
which, the most external one, is polyurethane; a polycarbonate visor;
for KOMPAT88 and PROF88 series a reinforced and padded plastic device is supplied
for weight balance on the operator’s shoulders; a polyamide collar which closes
efficiently and comfortably round the operator's neck; a head-band adjustable from 53
to 63 cm (6-5/8 to 7-7/8 hat size).
1.2 BLOWER UNITS: They are composed of an ABS case with socket and ON/OFF
switch; a fan unit actuated by an electric micro motor and an electronic air flow
indicator with alarm for the T8X and T8X-IS systems.

connected in series.
1.4.3 PROF88 and KOMPAT88 battery ass.y: consists of 9 rechargeable NI-CD batteries
connected in series and, ALTERNATIVELY, for PROF88-LI and KOMPAT88-LI, 3
rechargeable lithium batteries connected in series.
1.5 FILTERS
1.5.1 ZP3 FILTER: The letter “R” marked on the filter shows that the dust filter or filtering
part of a combined filter can be used for more than one working shift after exposure to
aerosols; the letters ”NR” indicate that the use is strictly limited to one working shift.
The filter is made of micro porous technical paper finely pleated with normalized EN
148-1 thread ( see filter use instruction).
1.5.2 ZA2P3 FILTER: it is made of 2 parts - the first of finely pleated submicron technical
paper and the other of activated carbon.
Connection: Thread - meets EN 148-1 standard requirements (see use instructions)
1.6 AIRFLOW INDICATORS:
1.6.1 ELECTRONIC INDICATOR - with audible alarm : mounted on the T8X / T8X-IS
blower units for the powered respirators with K80E helmets.
1.6.2 SPHERE TYPE INDICATOR : for the powered respirators with K80 and K80S
helmets.
1.7
MD1 MANUAL EMERGENCY DEVICE: composed of a plastic pump with non return

3. OPERATION
3.1 The blower unit, powered by rechargeable battery, takes in air through the filters and
sends it, via hose, to the inside of the helmet. The helmet goes into slight positive
over pressure and the wearer breathes filtered air only. Expired air is expelled
through the diaphragm valves.
3.2 Manual device operation(possible only with MD1 device): use MD1 device only to
leave the contaminated area in case of respirator dysfunction. Do not use during
normal working operation. Release the fasteners near the valves and while holding
the rigid plastic support, pump air.
4.

filters.
For respiratory protection against particles, and organic vapours gas and organic
vapors, mist and solid and liquid aerosols if fitted with ZA2P3 combined filters.

USE INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 BATTERY CHARGING:
5.1.1 LI-300 e LI-870 BATTERIES:
Charging of the rechargeable Lithium battery must be done exclusively with the
KASCO LI-02 battery charger (see use instructions packed with the respirator).
Recharge time: LI-300 – about 4 hours ; LI-870 – about 11 hours
RECHARGE THE BATTERY AFTER EACH USE.
5.1.2 LITHIUM BATTERIES 3S1P:
Charging of rechargeable lithium batteries 3S1P must be carried out with Kasco LI-
3S1 charger only (see instructions).
Recharge time: 3 hours
5.1.3 NM-300/8 BATTERY:
The built-in battery can be recharged with the KASCO Z15/220 battery charger .
The built-in battery recharge can be done in the following ways:
a) with blower Off and tractor not running (about 14 hours to charge)
b) with tractor running and blower unit switched either ON or OFF indifferently
c) with Z15/220 battery charger and blower unit in the OFF position
Recharge time: about 14 hours
STORE THE BATTERIES ALMOST COMPLETELY DISCHARGED WITH BLOWER
UNIT SWITCHED OFF AND THE CORD UNPLUGGED FROM THE BLOWER.
5.1.4 NC 220/9 BATTERY:
The recharge of the 9 NI-CD batteries connected in series must be done with KASCO
NC9 chargers ( see use instructions packed with the respirator).
Recharge time: about 6 hours.
IF THE NI-CD BATTERIES DO NOT SUPPLY THE DECLARED CAPACITY, REPEAT
THE CHARGE-DISCHARGE CYCLE 5 TIMES AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER
TO OBTAIN MAXIMUM CAPACITY PERFORMANCE.
STORE BATTERIES ALMOST COMPLETELY DISCHARGED WITH THE HELMET
SWITCHED OFF.
5.2 PREPARING THE RESPIRATOR:
5.2.1 T8 / T8X / T8X-IS BLOWER UNITS:
a)
Slip the belt through the battery and blower hook .
b)
Connect the battery to the blower with the cord and screw tight to make contact.
c)
Make sure that the unit is ON and running properly.
d)
Make sure that the filter gasket is properly inserted into the filter housing.
e)
Before using the filter for the first time check the expiry date to make sure the filters
have not expired; make sure that seals have not been broken and that the filters are
the correct ones for the respirator model in use.
