3 Charging the Battery Pack
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
The OptimAir Mask-Mounted PAPR kit consists of the following components:
• motor-blower
• battery pack
• support belt
• charger
• cable
• facepiece
• storage plug
• filter
WARNING!
• Thoroughly inspect all components of the respirator before the device is used. Read and observe all NIOSH approval
limitations as they apply to using the OptimAir MM PAPR.
• Do not use the storage plug while working in a contaminated atmosphere. Doing so will compromise respirator performance
and void NIOSH approval. Use plug only during decontamination and storage to help prevent debris from coming out of
cartridge.
• Do not drop the OptimAir MM PAPR. The battery pack can be damaged by impact. The case can be cracked and could
allow water into the pack. If the unit is dropped, inspect the case for cracks. If the motor blower no longer operates from the
compromised battery pack, the battery pack must be replaced.
• The motor-blower housing can be damaged by impact. The blower impeller can be loosened or the motor shaft can be bent.
If the unit is dropped, check the case for cracks. Listen closely to the sound of the motor. If the impeller binds or rattles, or if
air output is reduced, the entire motor-blower must be replaced.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
3.2 Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack must be fully charged before the respirator is first used. Use only the P/N 10090981 battery charger from
MSA. Other chargers can damage the battery due to internal wiring differences or incorrect charging rates.
The battery pack should be stored at a temperature range of 50°F to 85°F. If the battery pack has been stored in a “fully
charged” condition for more than one week, the battery pack should be charged until a full charge is indicated.
WARNING!
Do not charge the battery pack where there are explosive concentrations of combustible gases, vapors, or mists. An explosion
or fire can result. Replace the charger if the cord is damaged or worn, or if the case is cracked or distorted. Do not use a
damaged charger. Doing so can result in serious personal injury or death, or create a fire hazard.
Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death.
