BEFORE USE
Charge the battery pack/packs before use.
Ensure the respirator is correctly assembled with
pre-filter, main filter and either one or two fully
charged battery packs fitted.
Battery Pack Charging
Battery pack must be initially charged
for 24 hours.
The Powered Respirator is supplied with one
rechargeable battery pack for four hours duration.
For eight hours duration an additional rechargeable
battery pack and battery charger is required.
Check that the voltage shown on the charger is
suitable for the mains supply. A thermal fuse
protects the charger against short circuiting and
overloading.
Push the battery pack connector into the charger
socket and plug the charger into the AC supply
socket. The light on the charger confirms that the
battery pack is charging.
Battery packs should be initially charged for 24
hours and 14 hours thereafter when fully
discharged. A 3.5 hour charge will enable 1 hour of
usage. Full working capacity of the battery will not
be achieved until the battery has been through 3 or
4 complete charging cycles. Please note the light
will not extinguish when a full charge has been
achieved.
The charger must be
disconnected from the mains supply
when not in use.
After the charging period, withdraw the charger
from the AC supply socket and disconnect the
battery pack from the charger.
