Warning devices
Malfunctions during operation are indicated by warning devices.
The warning devices include:
•
vibration alarm
•
optical alarm (display on control panel)
•
acoustic alarm
NOTE
The vibration alarm is triggered in addition to the acoustic alarm. Depending on the
thickness and material of the clothing, the vibration alarm might not be perceived. The
blower unit always delivers the same default flow rate. If in the foreseeable future the
blower 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.
NOTE
Warnings or alarms are indicated by flashing red LEDs. For an explanation of malfunction
indicators, see section 4 Troubleshooting
