Battery Charging - Triton PRA001 Consignes D'utilisation Et De Sécurité

The Triton Powered Respirator air filter unit uses rechargeable Nickel Cadmium
(NiCad) batteries. With proper use and care the battery life should be several years
and/or 1,000 recharging cycles.
On a full charge, with batteries in good condition, the Triton Powered Respirator should
operate for a minimum of 4 hours before the air flow rate falls away.
For best battery life and performance:
• Recharge the air filter unit as soon as the airflow falls. Refer "Flow Testing". Do not
allow it to run until the fan completely stops - this can damage the batteries.
• Avoid repeated recharging of partially discharged batteries - it can lead to NiCad
"memory" which reduces run time. "Memory" effect can in some cases be reduced
or eliminated by several full charge and discharge cycles.
• Do not leave batteries permanently connected to charge as this will reduce battery
life. Charging for periods as long as 72 hours will not damage the batteries.
• Long periods of storage, particularly in a discharged state, can reduce battery life. It
is recommended that approximately once per month the Triton Powered Respirator
is fully recharged, then run until the flow drops below normal (see Flow Testing),
then again fully charge to minimise both memory and storage effects.
Initial Charging
1. With the air filter unit switched "off", plug the AC adaptor jack into its' socket next to
the on/off switch on the underside of the air filter unit.
2. Connect the AC adaptor to mains power and switch on. The red LED on the filter
will illuminate when properly connected.
3. Charge for at least 15 hours prior to use. Note: It is normal for both the charger and
the batteries to heat up during charging.
Recharging
• Once the airflow begins to fall, recharge the batteries as outlined above. NiCad
batteries provide an almost constant performance until they are almost fully
discharged - at this point performance will fall rapidly. Although obvious to the user,
it can be confirmed using the flow meter supplied (see "Flow Testing").
Warning: Use only the AC adaptor supplied with this product. Do not "fast charge".
Battery Replacement
• If battery life has expired a
replacement Power Module
(part no. PRA008 - Fig. 1)
can be ordered through
your local Triton outlet
Note: Individual batteries
cannot be replaced.
For high continuous use a
spare complete Air Filter
Unit (part no. PRA030 -
Fig. 2) is recommended.
