Before Use; After Use - SCOTT HEALTH & SAFETY Proflow Ex Instructions D'utilisation

6.2 Symbol P (green) = power in the blower
• The power needed depends on the filters and facepiece to be used.
• When the display shows P9, the blower device will easily reach the minimum flow rate. When
the display shows P1, the blower device reaches the minimum flow rate only with full motor
power. This makes the battery run down rapidly.
• If the blower device no longer reaches the minimum flow rate, the buzzer will sound and P0 will
flash on the display. This can be caused by clogged filters or for instance a throttled breathing
hose. Check the filters and free air flow to the facepiece.
7 Start-up
