Limitation on use
The device is not suitable for use:
– when there is a suspicion of contaminants with low
warning properties (smell, taste, irritation of eyes and
airways)
– in unventilated tanks, pits, canals etc.
– when there is suspicion of contaminant concentrations
that represent an immediate danger to life or health - IDLH
concentrations
In explosion-hazard areas, the X-plore 8700 blower unit
must not be used with the welding protective visor
(component list pos. 19), the standard hood, long (pos. 10
and 11) and the hose cover, disposable (pos. 41).
If the X-plore 8700 blower unit is used with the helmet with
visor (3710775, 3710780, 3710785, 3710790, 3710795) and
the protective foil (3710779), equipment group IIA applies in
relation to areas with potentially explosive gas atmospheres.
Without the protective foil (3710779), equipment group IIB
applies.
If the system with the helmet/hood combination or the bump
cap/hood combination without protective foil is used,
equipment group IIA applies in relation to areas with
potentially explosive gas atmospheres. In combination with
the protective foil (3710778), equipment group IIB applies.

Preconditions for use
WARNING
Fire hazard due to sparks or liquid metal splashes
► Always use powered air purifying respirators with a
particle or combination filter with additional prefilter if
sparks or liquid metal splashes may occur during use.
► Replace the prefilter at regular intervals; at least once per
shift, but in case of visible contamination at the very latest.
► Replace particle and combination filters as soon as they
are visibly contaminated with dust even if the residual
capacity indicator of the powered air purifying respirator
indicates that the residual capacity is still sufficient.
► Avoid direct contact of sparks and liquid metal splashes
with the powered air purifying respirator: Contact of a
heavily contaminated prefilter, particle or combination filter
with sparks or liquid metal splashes can cause damage to
the filter or ignite the collected particles.
– The ambient conditions (in particular type and
concentration of the contaminants) must be known.
– The oxygen content of the ambient air must not drop
below the following limit values:
– at least 17 Vol% oxygen in all European countries
except for the Netherlands, Belgium and Great Britain
– at least 19 Vol% oxygen in the Netherlands, Belgium,
the UK, Australia and New Zealand
– at least 19.5 Vol% oxygen in the USA
Observe the national guidelines in other countries.

Preparation for use
WARNING
Ambient air penetration
Incorrect assembly of the components can impair the device
function.
► For the rechargeable battery, carrying system, splash
guard cover, and gas filter or combination filter, ensure
that:
– Both connection points engage into the intended
sockets when inserted
– Do not jam the respective components when they are
snapped into place
Perform the following activities outside the danger zone:
1. Select components of the powered air purifying respirator
according to the required protection class and task (see
Configuration Matrix at the end of these instructions for
use).
2. Carry out a visual inspection (see chapter 6.3.1 Visual
inspection).
3. Checking the rechargeable battery capacity:
a. Press the button to display the battery capacity on the
rechargeable battery.
b. Read the battery status indicator.
c. If the battery capacity is insufficient for the planned
period of service: replace or charge the rechargeable
battery (see chapter 6.3.2 Replacing or charging the
rechargeable battery).
