• For use by trained qualified personnel only.
• Do not use this respirator if it has been left exposed in a contaminated
environment as contaminants could collect on the inside of the helmet and
be inhaled when the gas mask is donned�
• Routinely used respirators must be inspected before and after each use�
• FAILURE TO OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY, SERIOUS ILLNESS, OR DEATH.
If you have questions about the specific application, use, or suitability of the
e3000X system, please contact Optrel customer service.

Optrel will repair or replace the product as needed if a defect in materials or
workmanship occurs within 24 months of the date of purchase, provided the
product has been used as directed in the instruction manual� The warranty is
void if the serial number has been changed, removed or made illegible, or if
the product has been intentionally damaged, misused, opened or modified.
The warranty and liability also expires in the event of incorrect use, use of
non-original spare parts or lack of maintenance. The warranty only covers
the repair or replacement of defective parts� Under no circumstances shall
Optrel be liable for any general failures or consequential damages�
Expected Lifetime
The e3000X has no expiration date� The product can be used as long as no
visible or invisible damage or malfunctions occurs�
Field of application
The e3000X is a blower filter unit (PAPR) for protection against dust and
particles. This system is TH3P certified according to European Standard
EN 12941:1998 and TH3P certified according to Australian Standard AS/
NZS 1716:2012. The e3000X is used to support the ventilation process.
This reduces the effort of inhaling and thus the fatigue. The electronic flow
control system monitors the blower to ensure a constant air flow of at least
170 L/min�
The effective operating time of the e3000X with a fully charged battery
depends on the battery type and filter condition (see table "Technical data").
Before you start up
• Carefully remove the packaging of the various parts�
• Charge battery completely before first usage
Inspection table:
Check whether the unit is complete in accordance with the scope of
delivery and nothing has been damaged� If any damage is found or a part is
missing, contact the sales department immediately. Never use a damaged
or incomplete unit. Please have a specific look at the following components:
COMPONENT
LOOK FOR

Battery
2� Loose battery case lid or damaged connector�
1. Holes, cuts or abrasions.
Hose
2� Damaged spirals�
1. Cuts, nicks, tears or broken stitching.
Belt / Shoulder
2� Damaged buckle�
Harness
3� Loose hardware�
Testing before commissioning
Before each use, make sure that the e3000X is in perfect condition and
proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that spark protection, the main filter and prefilter are correctly
installed and that the release lever firmly fixes the cover (the cover must
snap into place with an audible click when closed) (Fig. 1). Note: When
used in the medical field, the spark protection and the prefilter may be
omitted for hygienic reasons�
2. Check the air hose and the air connection for damage (holes, cracks,
cuts, etc.). Connect the air hose to the helmet and blower by pressing the
hose on to the mating part until it snaps into place with an audible click
(Fig� 2)�
3. Switch on the e3000X by pressing the On/Off button for about 0.5
seconds (Fig. 3). During the 3-second start-up phase, all 5 LEDs light
up (3 LEDs for setting the air flow level in green and 2 LEDs in red, one
indicating the battery status and the other the filter status - Fig. 4) and
an audible alarm (3 beeps) is output� The e3000X is then ready for
operation�
4. In addition, the e3000X performs a self-test during the start-up phase
to ensure that the unit is generating a sufficient air flow of above 170 L/
min. If the red filter LED goes out after the 3-second switch-on phase,
an air flow of at least 170 L/min is maintained. Using a built-in flow meter,
the e3000X constantly monitors the air flow throughout operation and
maintains it above 170 L/min�
5. As described above, the e3000X has a visible and audible alarm (Fig.
5) for low battery capacity and missing, clogged or incorrectly inserted
filters. In the event of an alarm, leave the danger zone immediately!
Make sure that the low air flow/filter clogging alarm works by simulating
a low airflow as follows:
While the e3000X is switched on, remove the hose from the helmet and
press your hand against the end of the hose� The motor then accelerates
automatically to compensate for the low airflow. Continue to press
your hand firmly against the end of the hose to seal it tightly. The unit
eventually emits an audible alarm and the red filter LED lights up.
6. To stop the alarm, press the On/Off button for about 3 seconds and
connect the hose to the helmet�
7. Make sure the helmet is undamaged, put it on and fasten the PAPR
around your hips�
8� Start the blower and make sure that the air in the helmet is circulating�
In case of damage, the defective parts must be replaced before continuing
to use the PAPR�
Operating mode
Adjusting the belt size: Put on the belt (Fig. 6) and adjust the size so that the
blower unit sits comfortably on your hips�
Removing the air hose: Push in the hose connection on both sides and pull
it off the mating part (Fig. 7).
Inserting the rechargeable battery: The battery must be inserted into the
appropriate guide on the right underside of the e3000X� Push the battery
forward until it audibly snaps into place (Fig� 8)�
Removing and charging the battery: Pull the battery release lever back and
slide the battery along the guide and completely out of the blower unit (Fig�
9)� Then connect the battery to the charger (Fig� 10)� The charging process
is indicated by the red LED on the charger. When charging is complete,
the LED shows green and trickle charge mode is activated� Check that the
voltage in the socket matches the voltage indicated on the charger�
WARNING
• Optrel P/N 4553�020 Lithium Ion batteries can only be charged with
a Optrel charger (P/N 4551�070)� Using other chargers could cause
explosions resulting in injury or death�
• Optrel chargers (P/N 4551�070) are for indoor use only and must not be
exposed to outdoor elements. Do not charge battery below 0°C or above
45°C. Do not charge battery near flammable materials such as boxes, paper
and furniture�
• Battery charging must be done in a safe, non-hazardous location. Do
not charge or store the battery in proximity to the welding apparatus�
• Do not expose the lithium ion cells to water or allow them to get wet�
Incidental exposure of the battery pack to water is acceptable provided the
lithium ion cells remain dry�
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery� The battery contain safety and
protective devices, which, if damaged, may cause the batteries to generate
heat, explode or ignite.
WARNING
• Do not place the battery in direct sunlight or use or store the battery near
a source of heat or electric arc�
• Failure to observe these warnings may result in serious personal injury,
serious illness, or death.
CAUTION
• Optrel recommends that the battery is charged and stored at
temperatures between 4.5°C and 26.7°C. Charging at higher temperatures
causes a reduction in capacity and reduces battery life�
• Use caution to prevent puncturing or rupture of cells�
• If the lithium battery is damaged, appears to swell, leaks electrolytes or
gets abnormally hot during charging, discontinue its use immediately and
store in a fireproof container until it can be recycled.
• Do not leave the battery attached to the charger for more than 70 hours�
Check battery status: Press the On/Off Button shortly and the LED will blink.
Check the battery charge status on the lower scale�
