3 Preparing the OptimAir TL PAPR for Use
3.1 Checkpoints Before Use
(1) Check that all parts of the respirator are complete and undamaged. See the Inspection section for inspection procedures.
(2) Check that the cartridge approval is appropriate and effective against the contaminant in the use environment. Always
use two MSA cartridges of the same type.
3.2 Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack must be fully charged before the respirator is first used. Use only MSA P/N 10076110 battery charger for the
standard battery pack and P/N 10076017 battery charger for the extended life battery pack. Other chargers can damage the
battery due to internal wiring differences or incorrect charging rates.
NOTE: Commercially available power strips may be used with the required battery chargers to charge multiple battery packs
at one time.
The standard battery pack should be stored between -4˚F to 140˚F (-20˚C to 60˚C) and the extended life battery pack should be
stored between -4˚F to 122˚F (-20˚C to 50˚C). Storage temperatures exceeding this range could result in permanent damage to
the battery pack. If the battery pack has been stored fully charged for more than one week, the battery pack should be charged
until a full charge is indicated.
Charge the battery pack at 32°F to 104°F (0ºC to +40ºC). Charging at temperatures below this range will result in incomplete
charge. Charging above the range will result in reduced cycle life.
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.
• DO NOT touch the battery contacts.
• Never place the battery on a metal surface with the contacts facing down.
• DO NOT expose the battery to conditions that can result in electrostatic discharge. Electrostatic discharge may result in
rapid reduction of the available charge on the battery and lead to a corresponding reduction in remaining service time
without an alarm. Conditions that can result in electrostatic discharge include, but are not limited to, touching the battery
contacts or placing the battery on a metal surface with the contacts facing down.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
3.2.1 Standard Battery
(1) Push the plug into the female connector.
(2) Plug the charger into a 115-120 V, 50, 60 Hz (standard AC) outlet. The charger can be used internationally with the
appropriate adapter up to 240 VAC.
(3) Charge the battery pack until a full charge is indicated.
