Maintenance And Inspection - Honeywell COMPACT AIR Bedienungsanleitung

•
Do not use the COMPACT AIR in circumstances where hazardous gases and/or vapours are present that cannot be detected by
taste or smell and which are an immediate danger to health or life.
•
The carbon content of gas filter canisters is sensitive to the effects of moisture. In the case of aerosols or droplets occurring, the
use of a combined filter canister is to be recommended.
•
Used filter canisters cannot be cleaned.
•
Always replace all filter canisters with new ones at the same time.
The apparatus can be used only in combination with the facepieces and filters listed in the attached Declaration of Conformity.
4.2. The universal charger
4.2.1. Important notes on the use of the supplied universal charger
•
The supplied universal charger is for indoor use only and should be stored in a dry place!
•
To avoid electrical shock, never use the charger in a humid environment!
•
To avoid explosion and fire hazard, never charge batteries in a potentially explosive atmosphere!
•
The micro-controller inside the charger prevents damage to the batteries when the charging time is exceeded.
•
The charger will then automatically switch to trickle charge.
•
A defective charger cannot be repaired but should be replaced by a new one.
4.2.2. Indicator lights on the charger
Green indicator (1)
Lights continuously:
•
Battery pack fully charged.
Red indicator (2)
Flashing continuously:
•
Battery pack is defective
•
Poles are not connected correctly.
•
Battery discharge function is activated.
Flashing for approx. 10 seconds:
•
Shows during test that the battery pack is connected correctly.
Lights continuously:
•
Battery is being charged.
4.2.3. Charging batteries (with the supplied universal charger)
Important notes:
After the battery is completely charged the charger will switch over to trickle charging. Always have a fully charged spare battery at hand
when working with a power-assisted filtering device. New batteries are always supplied in an uncharged state. Recharge only fully
discharged batteries! This will ensure that the battery can be charged and discharged up to approximately 500 times under normal
circumstances. It will take approximately 6-10 hours to charge a new or fully discharged battery.
•
Choose the required country-specific mains adapter.
•
Press the button to release the country-specific mains adapter (if applicable).
•
Attach the mains adapter specific for your country until it clicks into place.
•
Connect the charger to the mains power supply (100-240 V AC).
•
Connect the battery pack to the charger. The red indicator will light up to indicate that the battery is being charged.
•
If the red indicator is flashing, there is a problem with the battery pack. Solve the problem accordingly.
4.2.4. Discharging batteries
Important notes
If partially-discharged batteries are repeatedly charged, their life cycle will be considerably shortened. To prevent this, discharge the
battery once every two months.
•
Place the battery in the charger and press the yellow button for about two seconds to start discharging the battery pack.
After the battery is fully discharged, the battery will be automatically recharged.
4.3. During use
A sudden or completely reduction in the air supply is considered as an abnormal situation; leave the work area immediately. A build-up
of carbon dioxide or shortage of oxygen can occur inside the facepiece.
If the breathing hose is not correctly fitted or becomes trapped, this is abnormal; leave the work area immediately.
Warning: If the wearer of the breathing apparatus feels dizzy, uncomfortable or can smell/taste something, he should immediately
evacuate the contaminated area.
4.4. After use
Remove the filters and disconnect the facepiece and the blower unit. Seal the filters with the previously-removed plugs.
4.5. Cleaning and disinfecting
After each session, clean the COMPACT AIR using a mixture of water and soap or Honeywell EPI U-S 19a cleaning and disinfecting
agent part number 1779065. Subsequently, rinse thoroughly with clean water (Do not use any solvents). During cleaning ensure that no
water is allowed to enter the blower unit. The apparatus must not be immersed in fluid. Dry the COMPACT AIR with a cloth and/or leave
it to dry in the open air.
Advice: For reasons of hygiene, facepieces should preferably be used by the same person.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Prior to use: Functional checks for the user.
After use: Cleaning and disinfecting the facepiece; cleaning, functional checking of the complete system.
Every 12 months: Visually inspect all components. Clean and disinfect the facepieces. Functionally check the complete system.
As a result of intensive use and natural ageing, the condition of the sealing rings between filter canister and blower unit socket can
deteriorate. When in doubt, replace the sealing rings. Check the hose for leakage and inspect the connector and thread for damage.
6. STORAGE
Before storing the COMPACT AIR in the carrying case, it should be thoroughly dry. Do not keep soiled filter canisters together with the
COMPACT AIR and the facepieces in the same enclosed storage space. Remove the filters from the COMPACT AIR and seal them with
the previously-removed plugs.
