Honeywell NORTH PRIMAIR 700 Serie Instrucciones De Uso página 8

It is recommended that the battery be charged in a dry place (indoors only), in a well-ventilated area at or near room temperature. Do not charge the battery in temperatures below 0°C or above 25°C. Always allow the
Do not use the RPD unless the battery is fully charged. Failure to use a fully charged battery can unexpectedly expose the worker to serious injury or illness.
Storage, Shelf-Life and Disposal
When stored in the original packaging, the 700 Series battery packs have a minimum shelf-life of 1 year from the date of manufacture. To prolong the life of your battery pack, always maintain at least 30% charge and store in cool to
room temperatures, approximately 5°C to 20°C.

ALARMS_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Primair 700 Series RPD will alert the user when the battery charge or air-flow level is too low. The table below describes these alarm events in more detail. In the event of any alarm, leave the contaminated area as soon as it is safe
to do so.
ALARM TRIGGER
30 minutes run-time
remaining (min.)
15 minutes run-time
remaining (min.)
Reduced air-flow below
required minimum
The low battery alarm alerts you at estimated remaining run times. The exact time remaining may be less. The battery must be replaced in a clean area away from any contaminants. If you remain in the contaminated
area while changing the battery pack, you risk exposure to hazardous gases or vapors that could result in serious bodily injury, illness or death.
Leave the contaminated area immediately when you hear, feel or see a "low battery" or "low air-flow" alarm. Remaining in the contaminated area will expose the user to risk of serious illness, bodily injury or death.
PUTTING ON THE RPD ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1) Inspect all components and check that the filter is attached to the blower unit. Verify that your RPD is supplying sufficient air (see section "Power on and verify the airflow with the flow indicator")
2) Being in safe and uncontaminated area, don the blower assembly.
3) Put on and position the blower assembly on your back. (Fig. 9a/ 9b)
4) Snap the side-release buckles together at the front of your waist (Fig. 10a) or chest (Fig. 10b).
5) Tighten harness by pulling on the free ends (Fig. 11a/ 11b). Tighten until the RPD unit is snug around your waist. Make sure that the belt is not twisted or caught in any garments. The comfort pad, blower assembly and battery
should be positioned in the middle of your lower back. If you will be sitting, position the assembly slightly higher above your waist in the middle of your back. The belt buckle should be placed on the central portion in front of you.
6) Use the clips on the belt to retain the excess strap material. (Fig. 11a/ 11b)
7) Connect the breathing hose to the air intake by twisting the connector clockwise until it locks. Once installed, pull gently on the hose connector to verify it is secure.
8) To turn on the RPD, press and hold the round power button for 3 seconds until the unit begins its power-on sequence, during which the display LEDs will flash, the unit will vibrate and emit an audible beep.
9) With the blower assembly powered on, don the approved respiratory interface; refer to its user instruction for proper donning techniques.
DURING USE __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Be careful about the following warnings when using the RPD.
Immediately leave the work area and/or replace the RPD if;
1. breathing becomes difficult;
2. dizziness or other distress occurs;
3. the RPD is damaged;
4. the air flow into the respiratory interface decreases significantly or stops; or
5. the warning is activated (see section "Alarms").
Should any of these occur, and you remain in the contaminated work area, you risk exposure to hazardous quantities of the air contaminant which can result in serious injury, illness or death.
MANUAL FLOW ADJUSTMENT ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As a default upon startup, the Primair 700 Series RPD will automatically maintain the required minimum air-flow rate for safe operation. However, if desired, users can manually increase the air-flow rate.
1) While the unit is powered on, momentarily press the square air-flow button. The RPD will emit a series of beeps and the air-flow display will change according to the level selected.
2) If the RPD is operating in high-flow mode, pressing the air-flow button will return the unit back to default (low-flow) mode.
AIR-FLOW LEVEL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Doffing of your RPD
To turn the RPD off, press and hold the round power button until the unit emits an audible beep and powers down. For removing the respiratory interface refer to the instruction manual.
Before removing your respiratory interface, you must leave the contaminated area. Failure to follow this instruction may result in bodily injury, illness or death.
Cleaning
Clean the Primair 700 using a mild cleaning solution [e.g. dish washing liquid soap or the EPI-US product (P/N 1779065)] and a lint-free cloth or sponge agent. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly with clean water (do not use any solvents).
During cleaning, ensure that no water is allowed to enter the air pump unit. If liquid gets inside the breathing hose, make sure it is thoroughly cleaned and dried before using it with the RPD. Take extra care not to get cleaning solutions or
water near the air-inlet, the battery connector contacts or the gasket. The apparatus must not be immersed in fluid.
Dry all components and the exterior of the breathing hose with a clean, lint-free cloth and/or leave to air dry in a clean environment free of dust and particulates. Make sure all components are completely dry before putting the breathing
device back into service.

WARNING
WARNING
During operation, the blower unit is programmed to adequately maintain a safe, minimum air flow rate, regardless of
the air-flow mode selected. If the selected air-flow mode cannot be achieved due to filter clogging, a lower, but safe
air-flow rate will automatically be selected.
Increasing the air-flow rate above the default setting will not necessarily increase the protection factor of
the RPD. Adjustment of the flow-rate is solely intended to provide comfort for the user.
Operating the RPD system at an increased air-flow rate will reduce the service life of the battery and filters.
Battery charging and filter change-out schedules should be reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
