Safety instructions

read these operating instructions through carefully before using the equipment.
incorrect use could endanger life and limb, and may invalidate any warranty claims
against Optrel.
Warnings & and safety limitations
Only wear the protective helmet if it is connected to the blower and the blower is in
operation. the blower must only be used in connection with breathing apparatus
which corresponds to the requirements of the European and Australian standards.
this PAPr does not provide protection against gaseous substances. Put the unit on
and switch it on before starting work; only then it is safe to enter the danger zone. if
the blower malfunctions, leave the danger zone immediately. As soon as the battery
warning is triggered (yellow LED illuminates and audible signal is heard), you must
leave the danger zone immediately. Either recharge the battery or replace it. As soon
as the air flow warning is triggered (red LED illuminates and audible signal is heard),
leave the danger zone immediately and change the filter.
A strong wind from the side or from behind may affect the protection provided by
the helmet. in the case of very high operational loading, very low pressure may be
caused in the helmet by breathing in. this could reduce the protection. in this case,
do not remove the helmet or switch off the blower until you have left the danger
zone. when removing the helmet, take all necessary precautionary measures to
prevent breathing in dust or contaminated material that may have collected on the
outside of the helmet. never immerse the blower or the battery in water; this could
damage the unit. Ensure that no water enters the unit when cleaning it. used filters
cannot be cleaned or recycled. Attempts to clean filters could damage them. never
short-circuit the battery; this could cause fatal damage.
the PAPr may not be used,
– in a flammable or explosive atmosphere,
– if the inhaled air is lacking in oxygen (Europe: <17 %, Australia: <19%) or the
concentration of toxins is so high that a protection class in excess of th2P
(Europe) or th3P (Australia) is required,
– in temperatures below -5 °c or above +55 °c,
– in surroundings where there is immediate danger to life and limb.
if you have any questions on the specific application, use or suitability of the e1100
system, please contact the Optrel sales department.

Area of application
the e1100 is a powered air purifying respirator (PAPr) for protection against
dust and particles. this system is th2P certified in accordance with European
standard En 12941: 1998 and th3P certified in accordance with Australian standard
As/nzs 1716: 2003.
the e1100 is used to support the ventilation process, reducing the effort required
to breathe and thus reducing tiredness. the electronic system for controlling the
airflow monitors the blower, in order to ensure a constant flow of min. 150 l/min.
the effective operating time of the e1100 with a fully charged battery depends on
the battery type (see technical specifications table).
Prior to initial operation
carefully remove the packaging of the various parts.
●
check whether the unit is complete in accordance with the scope of delivery and
●
nothing has been damaged. if any damage is found or a part is missing, contact
the sales department immediately. never use a damaged or incomplete unit.
Initial operation & use (see cover)
Before every use, ensure that the e1100 is in faultless condition and proceed as
follows:
1. Ensure that the protective filter caps are removed and the filter is screwed
correctly in place.
2. check the air hose and air connector for damage (holes, tears, cuts). connect
the air hose to the helmet/blower by pressing the hose onto the corresponding
part on the unit until it clicks into place (2).
3. switch on the PAPr by pressing the on/off button for at least 5 seconds (4).
(A brief warning sounds during the switch-on sequence.)
4. Firmly press the flow meter into the outlet of the connected air hose so that it
forms a seal, ensuring that the holes of the flow meter are not blocked (5). hold
the hose so that the flow meter is vertical and the ball moves freely.
5. check the position of the ball in the flow meter; it must lie above 150 l/min (5).
if a warning is triggered during this test, it is not relevant, as no safety helmet is
connected.
6. the blower system has a visible and audible warning (6) for low battery and
missing, clogged or incorrectly fitted filter. If a warning is triggered the danger
zone must be left immediately! Ensure that the audible and visible air flow
warning is triggered if you cover the outlet of the hose with a hand.
7. stop the blower by pressing the on button for at least 5 seconds, and connect
the hose to the safety helmet.
8. Ensure that the safety helmet is undamaged, put it on and strap the PAPr to
your hips.
9. start the blower and ensure that the air in the safety helmet is circulating
normally.
if there is any damage you must replace any defective parts before using the
PAPr.
Adjusting the belt size: put the belt on (1) and adjust the size so that the blower
unit sits comfortably on your hips.
Removing the air hose: push the hose connection on both sides and remove it
from the corresponding part (3).
Fitting the battery: the battery must be fitted straight (7). Press the battery until
a click is heard (8).
Removing and charging the battery: press on the battery clip and remove the
battery from the blower (9). then connect it to the charger and charge (10).
Replacing the filter: the filter must be replaced when the filter warning is triggered.
switch the unit off (4) and open the filter cover (11). screw out the old filter (12) and
replace it with a new filter (13).
Storage
the e1100 system and its accessories must be stored in a dry place. Protect from
sunlight, high temperatures and from hydrocarbons and solvent vapours.
