Functional description

The powered air purifying respirator is a respiratory protective
device depending on circulating air.
It filters the ambient air and makes it available as breathable
air. The device continuously takes in ambient air through the fil-
ter. The filter absorbs harmful substances depending on the fil-
ter type. In this way, the ambient air is recycled and finally
reaches the facepiece. There it is available as breathable air.
A continuous overpressure in the facepiece prevents ambient
air from penetrating.

Warning devices

Malfunctions during operation are indicated by warning devic-
es.
The warning devices include:
optical alarm (display on control panel)
acoustic alarm
vibration alarm
NOTICE
i i
The vibration alarm is triggered in addition to the
acoustic alarm. Depending on the thickness and mate-
rial of the clothing, the vibration alarm might not be per-
ceived.
The fan unit always delivers the same default flow rate.
If in the foreseeable future the fan unit will no longer be able to
deliver the default flow rate (e.g. due to increasing saturation
of the particle filter), a warning or alarm is triggered.
