AIR FLOW INFORMATION AND WARNING DEVICES
MAGNUM 1000 POWER UNIT
The Power unit is designed to exceed the requirements of EN 146 in that it will provide a flow rate of at least 140 litres/min for at least 4 hours
under all conditions, assuming a fully charged battery at start (MMDD = 4Hr). Typical Battery Life with M23P2/4B compact battery when fully
charged and run with Magnum 1000 Power Unit and appropriate filter and head piece is 8 Hrs (this will depend on various factors such as
condition of the filter, age of the battery etc.).
Once the battery has been charged and the correctly selected filter has been fitted the airflow should be checked before use.
AIR FLOW TEST
Principle of operation
The Airflow indicator is designed to be situated in the centre of the filtered air stream and as the air stream passes over the indicator, it causes it
to rise proportionally.
Indicated Airflow then can be read by means of a graduated scale situated on the body of the indicator.
Warnings and precautions
To ensure that your air flow indicator is maintained to give its optimum accuracy, the following precautions must be adopted: -
•
When not in use, the indicator must be stored in conditions to prevent physical damage.
•
When not in use, the indicator must be stored in cond5 to 35 degrees C @Rh<90%.
•
When not in use, the indicator must be stored away from direct sunlight.
•
The indicator must be kept clean and free from any contamination.
•
No adjustments, alterations or additional markings must be made.
Method of use
Prior to use
•
Visually inspect the Airflow indicator for any damage, contamination or distortion.
•

•
Position Vertically the Magnum unit for testing. (See diagram I).
•
Unlock the outlet ring (See diagram I) and remove Air hose (if attached) ensure that the outlet ring is in the
UNLOCKED
position at all
times during the air flow test.
•
Switch unit on and allow to run for a minimum of 10secs.
•
Locate Airflow indicator in the outlet ring with the letters of the graduated scale in the vertical and facing the front of the unit.
