JSP POWERCAP ACTIVE Series - Unpacking, Storage, and Pre-Use Checks; Unpacking and Inspection; Storage Guidelines; Pre-Use Battery Charging

1. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION: The following items should all be within the carton:
2. STORAGE: When not in use or during transportation, PowerCap
®
Active™ should be stored in the packaging in which it was supplied. PowerCap
®
Active™ should be stored
away from direct sunlight, not in contact with solvents and in such a manner that it cannot be damaged by physical contact with hard surfaces. Storage temperature should be
between 5°C and 40°C and relative humidity not greater than 75%. During storage, the PowerCable should be disconnected from the PowerBox™ battery pack.
Fitting the visor - PowerCap
®
Active™ Lite:
1. Remove the old visor by peeling it away from the Velcro
®
sections on the inside of the brim.
2. Align the Velcro
®
sections on the visor with the Velcro
®
sections on the inside of the brim, ensuring that the visor is central. Press the Velcro
®
sections together making certain
that the visor is rm against the underside of the brim.
Battery and Airow Check: PowerCap
®
Active™ has a Minimum Design Flow rate of 140 l/min. To check
battery charge and airow the lters must be tted and the visor removed. Removal of visor for airow check is
only relevant to Non-Impact Powercap (see ‘removing/tting the visor’).
a. Having removed the visor insert the male connector at the end of the PowerCap
®
Active™ “PowerCable” into
the female connector on the PowerBox™ battery compartment.
b. Switch the unit on using the switch located on the PowerBox™ battery unit. Airow will now commence. It is
now necessary to check that the airow is sufcient, and the following checks should be carried out on a regular
basis with the lters tted and always before use of PowerCap
®
Active™:-
4. USING PowerCap
®
: Unit: The PowerCap
®
meets the TH1P requirements of EN12941 this offers protection against ne non-toxic bres, fumes and dusts. Operating
temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C and relative humidity not greater than 75%.
Filters: The lters provided are high efciency sub-micron particulate types supplied in pairs. They will lter most particulate matter such as dust, spores, mist and fumes, but like
all lters cannot lter out all particulate matter present in the air. They will not lter gases, vapours or toxic substances.
• The duration of lter life will depend mainly on the amount and size of the contamination in the area where they are used, and the time used in that area. Inspect the lters
regularly. Ensure that they are located correctly and carefully remove any visible large surface contamination to prolong their life. The lters must not be washed or allowed to
get wet. A low airow reading (red section of indicator) usually indicates that new lters are required.
Fitting and replacing the lters: Only replace with a pair of genuine
replacement lters supplied in pairs from JSP Ltd or its distributors.
Filters are marked as per this example image:
Charging the batteries: On receipt of the unit, run the battery at and charge for 16 hours to reach
maximum capacity. Follow on charging cycles should then take 8 hours. If the unit is run completely at
or the unit has not been used for a long period it would be advisable to repeat the 8-16hr charge cycle. A
reduced charging time will reduce the time that PowerCap
®
will operate at its intended ow rate. The charger
transformer has an LED on it and the LED will show red while charging and green when fully charged. The
battery has over-charge protection and will not be damaged by being on charge for longer than 8 hours.
3. BEFORE USE: PowerCap
®
Active™ uses JSP’s PowerBox™ battery system. The batteries will come
supplied with some residual charge present. The unit should be run until the batteries are fully exhausted.
The battery has over discharge protection and will cut out when exhausted and then a full 16 hour charge
should be applied. An 8 hour (overnight) charge will produce 8 hours of run time from PowerCap
®
Active™.
The charger socket is located on rear of the PowerStation™ charging dock.
• The The Battery can be charged whilst still attached to the Cap.
• The Battery can be charged whilst separated from the Cap.
• Spare PowerBox™ batteries are available from JSP Ltd or its distributors.
Note: PowerCap
®
Active™ also provides protection to EN 812, the BumpCap standard.
It should be noted that the special liner for this protection forms an integral part of the cap structure. Ensure that the “HardCap A1+” liner is tted into the Cap before use.

Simply twist anticlockwise, with lter towards you, and lift away from
motor housing. Replacement is the reverse procedure. Ensure that
the lter and motor housing mating faces are clean; do not allow
any dust or foreign objects to fall into the motor housing.Push and
twist the replacements rmly into place. Recheck airow when the
new lters have been tted before use. If the lters are not tted
correctly, ltering efciency will be severely reduced.

b.1. Invert (turn upside down) the PowerCap
®
Active™ and t the Airow Indicator supplied over the air outlet
inside the rim of the Visor Carrier ensuring a good seal. Avoid placing hands or other possible obstructions over
the two lter inlets.
b.2. The “ap” indicator within the airow device should move into the “green section” which means that there is
adequate airow for PowerCap
®
to be used.
b.3. In the event of no ow or low ow indicated by a move of the ap into the “red section”, rst recheck that
battery tting or charging condition. In the event that there is still no or low airow, do not use the PowerCap
®
,
but contact JSP Ltd for further advice.
