2) INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
1) Place the air pump unit on a flat, clean surface with the filter chamber facing up.
2) Take the battery pack in your hand with the latch facing down.
3) Slide the battery into the side of the blower housing until the battery clicks and locks in place. (Fig. 4)
4) To remove the battery, grip it while pressing the latch until the battery disengages. Pull the battery out of the blower assembly.
3) CONNECT THE FILTER TO THE BLOWER UNIT
Select the filters following their classification in accordance with the categories of faced hazard (see filter's manual). The approved filters are designed to be used only with the powered filtering RPD.
1) Verify you have the correct filter by reviewing the information on the face label or approval label included in the package.
2) Verify that the filter has a gasket installed and that the gasket is not damaged.
3) Insert the filter evenly into the filter pocket of the blower unit. (Fig. 5)
4) Lock the filter by turning it clockwise approximately 90 degrees until you hear an audible "click" and the filter icons are aligned. (Fig. 6)
5) When properly installed, the filter should be placed in level and even with the top of the blower unit. Note, it is not possible to overtighten the filter.
6) If additional tightening torque is required for filter installation, it is recommended to grip and rotate the filter.
Safe use of the RPD requires that the filter is fully installed. Confirm that the filter is not loose after installation. The icons on the filter should be aligned with the mating icons on the blower unit.
The functional service life of the filters will depend on many factors such as the type and concentration of the contaminants, flow rate and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. The filters need to
4) INSTALL THE OPTIONAL FILTER COVER
1) With the filter installed, align the filter cover with the blower unit. With the battery on the left side, the Honeywell North logo on the cover should be on top and legible.
2) Engage the right side of the cover with the blower unit latches first.
3) Push down on the left side of the cover. Make sure all 4 latches are fully engaged. Note, the cover can only be installed one way. (Fig. 7)
5) CONNECT THE BREATHING HOSE TO THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY
Select the appropriate breathing hose for loose fitting or tight-fitting application.
For loose-fitting interfaces (hoods/ helmets), use the PA031, PA031L, PA033 or PA036 breathing hoses. Verify that the o-rings are installed on both end connectors (red - respiratory interface, black - blower unit). Insert the breathing
hose blower-side connector into the red port on the top of the blower unit by lining up the posts on the connector with the notches in the port. Lock the breathing hose by rotating the connector clockwise until it locks in place. Once
installed, pull gently on the hose connector to verify it is secure. Do not use the RPD if the breathing hose o-rings are missing or damaged.
For tight-fitting interfaces (full and half masks), use the PA035 breathing hose. Verify that the magnet is installed into the blower-side connector. Do not use a breathing hose if the magnet is missing or damaged.
6) POWER ON AND VERIFY THE AIRFLOW WITH THE FLOW INDICATOR
1) Make sure that the filter is installed.
2) Attach the desired breathing hose to the blower unit, but do not attach the respiratory interface.
3) With the blower powered on, firmly insert the flow meter into the free end of the breathing hose. You may need to use your hands to hold the flow meter and hose together.
4) While keeping the flow meter level, evaluate the position of the float. Note, it may take a few moments for the float to settle in place.
5) For the loose-fitting interfaces, the entire float must be above number 8 line if the altitude is up to 1524 m [Fig. 8(A)]. For the tight-fitting interfaces, the entire float must be above number 4 line if the altitude is up to 1524 m
[Fig. 8 (B)]. Please contact our Customer service representative for more information about the precise target line of float for your working altitude /temperature range or the altitude above 1524m. If the float is not above the
target line, confirm the target line once more or refer to the "Troubleshooting guide" section.
7) CONNECT THE BREATHING HOSE TO RESPIRATORY INTERFACE
Refer to the user instructions of your respiratory interface for all particular instructions on its assembly and inspection.
Loose-fitting respiratory interfaces
Connect the breathing hose to the air duct located inside the respiratory interface by pushing the hose connector
into the air duct connector and twisting the ring clockwise until it locks. Once installed, pull gently on the hose
connector to verify it is secure.
BATTERY ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The battery charge state can be evaluated by pressing the "TEST" button on the bottom of the battery pack. The number of illuminated bars corresponds with the approximate charge remaining in the pack, from less than 25% to 100%.
Push the "TEST" button on the back of the battery pack to evaluate the charge state.
Actual run-time is affected by many variables including operating temperature, altitude, contaminate concentration, flow-rate and the type of respiratory interface, see the section "Technical specifications" for more details. Therefore, it
is important to check the battery charge level periodically during use and always have a backup battery available.
Li-Ion batteries have a limited number of charge/discharge cycles before their capacity begins to decline. The Primair 700 Series battery packs are engineered to deliver a minimum of 500 charge/discharge cycles while maintaining at
least 70-80% of their original capacity. If left off the charger, Li-Ion battery packs will begin to loose charge capacity over time, even after just a few months. Therefore, it is recommended that battery packs remain in the charger when
not in use.
Failure to inspect, use and maintain the 700 Series lithium-ion battery pack and charger system correctly may result in reduced performance of your respirator, in a fire or explosion. Carefully read and understand
these instructions before use. The 700 Series lithium-ion battery packs are not serviceable. Do not disassemble or attempt to alter the battery pack in any manner. If a battery pack is damaged, remove it from service
immediately. Unless otherwise noted, the 700 Series Lithium Ion battery pack is not suitable for potentially explosive atmospheres.
Charging the battery
The Primair 700 Series battery packs should only be charged with the approved charging system. Charge the battery pack on a level surface in a cool, dry location.
1) Connect the power adapter to the charger base. Plug the power adapter into power source. The LED light on the AC adapter and the "Power" indicator on the charger base should illuminate.
2) Insert the battery pack into the charger base until the battery latch engages and locks the battery into place. The battery pack can only be inserted one way. Do not force the battery pack into the charger.
3) The charger base has an LED display that communicates the charging status and battery health. The various display states are described in the table below.
4) When the battery pack is fully charged, squeeze the latch button and remove the battery pack from the charger. The battery can be left connected to the charger once fully charged. The charger is an "Intelligent" charging system
will not over-charge the battery. The battery can be left connected to the charger for a long period to assure that you have a fully charged battery when it is time to use the RPD.
5) To confirm the battery pack is charged, conduct a battery charge state check.
Do not pull or force the battery out of the air pump unit without disengaging the latch. The unit should slide out smoothly.
be replaced when you hear, feel and/or see the "low flow" alarm (read section „Alarms"), or when you smell an unusual odor.
Do not use the RPD if you are unable to obtain a sufficient flow of air.
Never stack or bundle chargers, power supplies or battery packs, as they can get warm while charging.
