Check that at least one of the green battery LEDs on the keypad is on and flashing.
If none of the LEDs
are flashing, the unit is not charging.
Check the charger is connected securely to the power unit and the
power source. If the power unit is still not charging, contact CleanSpace Customer Service
sales@cleanspacetechnology.com or visit our website: www.cleanspacehealth.com.
•
Charging is complete when the power unit shows three (3) green solid lights.
If the third green LED is
flashing rapidly, charging is 95% complete.
•
When the power unit is fully charged, disconnect the charger cable from the charging port.
•
IMPORTANT: The power unit should NOT be worn when on charge.
Do not charge the battery in electro-magnetic environments (such as near welding machines) as it may damage
the electronics.
LOW BATTERY ALARM
CleanSpace respirators have a Low Battery Alarm that is both audible (3 beeps, repeated every second) and visual
(green LEDs) that triggers when the battery has low charge. At moderate work rates, this may be 5 – 15 minutes run
time (depending on filter loading). Unlike the filter alarm, the Low Battery Alarm cannot be muted. The Low Battery
Alarm will turn off when the power unit is charging or when it is in Off Mode (see Section 9). When the battery
charge is extremely low, the motor and airflow will stop.
WARNING
If the battery alarm sounds (3 beeps, repeated every second), leave the contaminated area
immediately and re-charge the battery. Operating the respirator after the low battery alarm has
sounded can cause the flow to fall below the manufacturer’s minimum designed flow, which
may result in overexposure to contaminants and lead to sickness or death.
GENERAL BATTERY INFORMATION
CleanSpace respirators have an internal lithium ion (Li-ion) polymer battery. Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries have the
highest energy density of all battery types and are widely used in portable electronic devices. The commonly
available Li-ion polymer batteries are packaged in a soft polymer film. The soft packaging allows the cells to expand
under extreme heat, making the battery 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 full capacity.
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) 18°C to 28°C, 30% - 50% RH
Short term storage (< 30 days) -10°C to 35°C, 30% - 50% RH
The following precautions must be followed during use:
•
Avoid mechanical shocks or impacts from any sharp or hard objects.
•
Do not charge or use the respirator if there are any signs of severe mechanical damage.
•
The respirator will stop functioning if its internal temperature rises above 60°C or falls below -10°C.
•
Do not dispose of the respirator in a fire.
•
Do not use the respirator in heavy rain, or allow it to get wet or immersed in liquid.
•
Do not disassemble the power unit case. Disassembly will void the Manufacturer’s Warranty. There are
no user serviceable parts inside.
WARNING
In the extremely rare circumstance that the battery is damaged and electrolyte comes in
contact with eyes, flush with water immediately and seek urgent medical attention.
