optrel SWISS AIR Manual De Usuario página 11

• Do not use this respirator if it has been exposed in a contaminated environment, as
contaminants will build up inside the mask and may be inhaled when the mask is on.
• Routinely used breathing apparatus must be checked before and after each use.
• Failure to heed all warnings could result in serious injury, serious illness, or death.
If you have any questions about the specific application, use, or suitability of the swiss
air system, please contact optrel Customer Service.
• Do not work with the device in the rain! The device is only protected against splash
water�

Scope of application
The respiratory protection system is a blower filter system (PAPR) to protect against
dust and particles. This system is TH3P certified according to the European standard
EN 12941 and TH3P certified according to the Australian standard
AS / NZS 1716. The respiratory protection system is used to support the breathing
process. This makes it easier to breathe in and users don't get tired as quickly as
with a passive filtering system. The electronic flow control system monitors the fan
and ensures a constant air flow of at least 100 L / min. The effective operating time
of the respiratory protection system with a fully charged battery depends on the filter
condition and environmental factors (see table "Technical specifications").
Before putting into service
• Carefully remove the packaging.
• Charge the battery fully before using it for the first time.
Inspection table: Check whether the device corresponds to the scope of delivery and
is not damaged. If damage is found or a part is missing, contact your optrel dealer
immediately. Never use a damaged or incomplete respiratory protection system.

Installation
Before each use, make sure that the respiratory protection system is in perfect
working order and proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the spark arrestor as well as the main and prefilter are properly
inserted and that the filter release lever is firmly engaged (the cover must click into
place when closed) (p. III / c8). Note: When used in the medical field, the spark
protection grille and the pre-filter may be omitted for reasons of hygiene.
2. Check the air hose and the air connection for damage (holes, cracks, cuts, etc.).
Connect the mask to the air tube by pressing the tube onto the counterpart until it
clicks into place.
3. Switch on the respiratory protection system by pressing the On / Off button for
approx. 2 seconds (p. III / c1). During the switch-on phase, all LEDs on the control
panel (if connected) light up (4 LEDs for the battery indicator and 10 LEDs for the filter
level indicator) and an acoustic alarm (3 beeps) sounds. The respiratory protection
system is then ready for use (p. IV).
4. In addition, the respiratory protection system carries out a self-test during the
switch-on phase to ensure that the device generates a sufficient air flow over 100 L
/ min. When the red filter LED goes out after the approx. 3 second switch-on phase,
an air flow of at least 100 L / min is achieved. With the help of a built-in flow meter, the
respiratory protection system constantly monitors the air flow throughout operation
and keeps it above 100 L / min.
5. If a signal tone sounds with 5 short beeps, please check the setting on the control
panel: switch off the system on the control unit and then switch it on again.
6. If no swiss air control panel is connected, the air volume can be changed by briefly
pressing (less than a second) the main switch. Each short press changes the air
volume setting from Flow I to II; changed from II to III and from III to I. The number
of beeps indicates the current setting (level).
7. As described above, the respiratory protection system has a visible and acoustic
alarm for low battery capacity as well as missing, clogged or incorrectly inserted
filters. In the event of an alarm, leave the danger area immediately.
Make sure the low airflow / filter clogging alarm is working by simulating low airflow
as follows.
With the respiratory protection system switched on, remove the hose from the mask
and press the heel of your hand onto the end of the hose. The motor then accelerates
automatically to compensate for the low air flow. Keep pressing the heel of your
hand firmly on the end of the hose to seal it tightly. After a while, the device emits
an acoustic alarm and the red filter LED (if the control panel is connected) lights up.
An alarm in the event of a missing filter is only triggered as long as the device is
not attracted�
8. To stop the alarm, press the On / Off button for approximately 3 seconds and
reconnect the mask to the hose.
9. Make sure that the mask is undamaged, put it on and strap the fresh air system
with the carrying unit to your back.
10. Start the fresh air system and make sure that the air is circulating in the mask.
11. Make sure that the mask is undamaged, put it on and strap the fresh air system
with the carrying unit to your back.
12. Start the fresh air system and make sure that the air is circulating in the mask.
13. When working with flying sparks or sweat spatter, the mask and face must be
additionally protected (e.g. with a clearmaxx for grinding work or optrel welding
helmet for welding work)
Damaged parts (hose, mask, device) must be replaced immediately BEFORE
commissioning.
During operation
Adjusting the carrying unit size: Put the carrying unit on (p. I / a1-a11) and adjust the
size so that the blower unit sits comfortably on your shoulders.
Inserting the battery: The battery must be inserted into the corresponding guide on
the right underside of the fresh air system. Push the battery forwards until it clicks
into place with an audible click (p. III / c11).
Removing and charging the battery: Pull back the release lever on the battery and
slide the battery on the guide completely out of the fan unit (p. III / c9). Then connect
the battery to the charger (p. III / c10). The charging process is indicated by the
yellow LED on the charger. When the charging process is complete, the LED lights
up green and the trickle charge mode is activated. Make sure that the voltage in the
wall socket matches the voltage indicated on the charger.
WARNING
• optrel lithium-ion batteries may only be charged with an optrel charger.
