The power button is on the left side of the 
unit as you look at the front of the PX5

®

POWER ON: Press and hold the power button 
(for about 1 second). The unit will vibrate and 
make an audible beep on start-up. Note the 
unit will always start up in the low speed 
setting and should reach nominal flow within 
5-10 seconds.  Allow the unit to warm up for 
5 minutes or until the flow meter (03-819) is 
in the safe range before use, so that there is 
sufficient air flow. (See the Flow Tube section 
for how to read the measurement.)

POWER OFF: Press and hold the power 
button (for about 1 second) and the unit will 
turn off. 

POWER BUTTON AND BATTERY INDICATION

The battery level is indicated by the battery 
shaped LED panels on the side of the PX5

®

3 green LEDs = fully charged, 2 green LEDs 
= 25-75% charged, 1 green LED = less than 
25% charged, 1 red LED blinking = 5% or less 
charge remaining, the battery needs to be 
charged and is about to turn off.

FIGURE 8.2

When the alarm sounds it is recommended that you leave the 

work area immediately. Do not remove the respirator, remove the filter, or disconnect the 
breathing tube while in the work area. Once outside of the work area power the unit down 
and resolve the problem.
