1.4 BATTERY ASSEMBLIES:
1.4.1-LI-870: the pack consists of rechargeable lithium batteries in a sealed ABS housing
with non reversible plug; a circuit protection against short-circuits and over-discharge.
1.4.2 NM300 / 8 battery ass.y (built into T9R blower): It is composed of 8 NI-MH 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 blower unit for
the powered respirators with K80E helmets.
1.6.2 SPHERE TYPE INDICATOR : for the powered respirators with K80 and K80S
helmets.

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.
4.
USE
4.1
The powered respirators are designed for the protection of the respiratory tract
of the wearer and not for other risks such as the protection of the face or eyes.
a)Some uses
for
which the AIR SYSTEM kit in combination with the K80S / K80 / K80E
helmet for the protection of the respiratory system against
solid and liquid aerosols
(ZP3
filter
)
are designed
• Agriculture: Cleaning stables, pens and coops.
Handling and processing grains and fodder
• Chemical and: pharmaceutica, Chemical dusts, formulations and pastes; Biohazardous
operations and infectious diseases.
• Construction, building and renovation: Cutting / polishing / grinding / drilling of
concrete, stone, masonry; Plaster; Painting and surface coating; Masonry work and
renovations; Controlled demolition

• Wood working, Cutting / bending / drilling / sanding; Adhesive removal via scraping and
sanding,
• Working with fibreglass and minerals: Mineral mining and marble working.
• Painting: Powder coating and spraying.
b)against solid and liquid aerosols, organic gases and vapors (with ZA2P3 filters):
• Agriculture: Mixing / spraying of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides; Spraying and weeding
using tractor/ service machine; Spraying and weeding using knapsack sprayers; Pesticide
treatments (vineyards, orchards, cereals,nuts, etc.); Pesticide treatments in greenhouses
and nurseries; Disinfestation
•
Construction, building and renovation:
Painting and surface coating.

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.
5.2 PREPARING THE RESPIRATOR:
5.2.1 T8 / T8X BLOWER UNITS:

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.
f)
Remove covers from the filter and screw the EN148-1 threaded connection end onto
the chosen respirator. Read the filter use instructions.

have not expired; check that the seals are intact and that the filters are the proper
ones for the respirator model in use. Take care not to confuse the markings on the
filters with those of other standards which classify this RPD according to EN
12941:98+A1/03+A2/08.
b)
Remove covers and/or seals and screw the EN148-1 threaded end of the filter onto
