English
The Charging Port is located on the underside of
the Power Unit as shown in the figure on the right.
It is protected by a flexible polymer charging port
cover which should always be replaced when
charging is complete.
CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
WARNING: The battery shall only be charged in non-hazardous areas.
Move out of the hazardous area before charging CleanSpace Respirators.
•
Charging must not be performed in an explosive atmosphere.
•
To charge the internal battery, turn the Power Unit upside down, and locate the charging port. See figure above.
•
Lift off the flexible polymer charging port cover. Insert the charger cable connector into the charging port. Ensure
the charger is plugged into a power socket.
•
Charging is complete when the Power Unit displays three (3) green solid lights. If two (2) Battery Indicator Lights
are solid, and the third light is flashing rapidly, the battery is greater than 95% charged.
•
When charging is complete, disconnect the charger cable from the Power Unit charging port. IMPORTANT: Ensure
the charging port cover is replaced to prevent dirt and contaminants getting into the port.
•
Note: The CleanSpace Respirator battery can only be charged at temperatures between 0°C and 35°C. Outside this
temperature the battery will not charge.
Do not charge the battery in electromagnetically noisy environments, such as near welding machines. Doing so may damage
the CleanSpace Respirator electronics.
Do not leave Power Unit plugged into its charger for more than one week at a time. Doing so may shorten the battery life.
LOW BATTERY ALARM
For information on the Low Battery Alarm, refer to Section 7. Controls and Indicators.
GENERAL BATTERY INFORMATION
CleanSpace Respirators have an internal lithium ion (Li-ion) polymer battery. Li-ion batteries have the highest energy density of
all battery types and are widely used in portable electronic devices. Li-ion polymer batteries are similar to Li-ion batteries, with
the difference of being packaged in a soft polymer film instead of a metal case. The soft packaging allows the cells to expand
slightly under extreme heat, making them safer in fault conditions. CleanSpace Respirators use quality Li-ion polymer batteries
and are designed to be viable over a minimum of 500 complete charge and discharge cycles while still maintaining at least 70%
of their specified capacity.
BATTERY LIFE INFORMATION
The CleanSpace Respirator will operate with one (1) or two (2) Battery Indicator Lights illuminated. If two (2) Battery Indicator
Lights are illuminated, the battery charge is between 50% and 80%, typically providing between four (4) and six (6) hours of
operation. If one (1) Battery Indicator Light is illuminated, the battery charge is between 20% and 50%, typically providing
between one (1) and four (4) hours of operation. When all Battery Indicator lights extinguish, the Power Unit has less than one
(1) hour of operation remaining, and it is recommended that the CleanSpace Respirator be charged before use.
POWER UNIT STORAGE
To maintain the integrity of the internal battery, the Power Unit must be stored under the following conditions when not being
used:
Long term storage (> 30 days) 30% - 50% RH, 18°C to 28°C
Short term storage (< 30 days) 30% - 50% RH, -10°C to 35°C
