PHANTOM
3
Battery Charger, Holdall and Waistbelt
options will be supplied with
PHANTOM
if
ordered.
Battery:
To ensure full duration, the battery should
be charged in accordance with the
instructions given under
Maintenance
.
Blower:
Ensure that the O-Ring is lightly
lubricated with MS4 Grease and correctly
positioned in the forward groove on the
outside of the blower (see
Fig. 2
).
Ensure that the filter seal is in position at
the bottom of the threaded port in the
blower assembly (see
Fig. 2
).
Install the blower by feeding the plug and
cable from inside the facemask through
the front opening. Press the blower fully
into its housing at the front of the
facemask and lock in place by firmly
screwing in the filter.

Connect the plug to the battery by
aligning the larger of the two bayonet ears
on the plug, with the larger of the two
slots in the battery socket.
The plug is keyed so that it will only enter
the socket in the battery neck when
correctly aligned.
Push down and turn the plug clockwise
45° to the OFF intermediate position.
The plug is now retained in the socket,
ready to be switched ON.
Flow Test:
WARNING:
The flow indicator is a measuring device.
Check for damage and ensure that it is
clean and dry before flow-test.
Remove the filter cover (if fitted). Connect
the end of the flow indicator to the lip of
the louvred port on the front of the filter.
Hold the facemask such that the flow
indicator is pointing vertically downwards.
The float should fall to the bottom of flow
indicator tube (see
Fig. 3
).
Operate
PHANTOM
by rotating the
battery plug fully clockwise to the ON
position.
Correct functioning is shown by the float
rising to the top of the flow indicator tube.

Fig. 3
If the float does not rise to the top of the
tube a low flow-rate is indicated. To
determine the probable cause carry out
the following fault analysis:
i)
Renew filter and re-test. If the test
now indicates sufficient air flow the
original filter was clogged and
should be discarded.
ii)
If the flow is still insufficient, replace
the battery with one that is freshly
charged. If the test now indicates
sufficient flow the original battery
should be recharged.
