tervals of two seconds.

The battery symbol will flash continuously, whereas the
other signals are repeated at intervals of 30 seconds un-
til about one minute remains before the battery would be
fully discharged. The sound signal then changes to an
intermittent signal.
Action: Immediately interrupt the work, leave the area
and change/charge the battery.
3.7 Performance check
The performance check should be checked on every
occasion before the fan unit is used.
Check of the minimum flow - MMDF
• Check that the fan unit is complete, correctly moun-
ted, thoroughly cleaned and undamaged.
• Start the fan unit.
• Place the head-top in the flow-meter.
o SR 550 PU and SR 951 PU breathing hose:
Grip the lower part of the bag to seal around the
breathing hose.
o SR 551 Rubber and SR 952 PU breathing hose:
Grip the lower part of the bag to seal around the
upper attachment of the breathing hose. Fig. 29.
Note! You must not grip around the rubber hose
itself as this would either obstruct the air flow or
cause failure to achieve a proper seal.
• Grip the flow meter tube with the other hand so that
the tube points vertically upwards from the bag.
Fig. 30.
• Read the position of the ball in the tube. This should
hover at a level with or slightly above the upper
marking on the tube, (175 l/min). Fig. 31.
If minimum flow is not achieved, check that
- the flow meter is held upright,
- the ball moves freely,
- the bag seals well around the hose.
Checking the alarms
The equipment is designed to provide a warning if the air
flow is obstructed.
• Provoke an air flow stoppage by gripping the top part
of the bag or by shutting off the flow meter outlet.
Fig. 32.
• The fan unit should then initiate alarms by sound, light
signals and vibrations.
• If the air is again allowed to flow, the alarm signals will
automatically cease after 10-15 seconds.

3.8 Putting the equipment on

After the filters have been fitted, a performance check
has been carried out and the head top has been con-
nected, the equipment can be put on. Before putting it
on, read the user instructions for the head top.
• Take the fan unit on and adjust the belt so that the fan
unit is firmly and comfortably secured at the back of
your waist. Fig. 33.
• Start the fan unit.
• Put the head top on.
• Make sure that the breathing hose runs along your
back and is not twisted. Fig. 33.
Note that when a full face mask is used, the hose should
run along your waist and up along the chest. Fig. 34.
When a half mask is used, the hose should run along
your back and over your shoulders. Hose SR 951, see
fig. 35. Hose SR 952, see fig. 36.
