Moreover, one must immediately leave the work area if: there is an emergency situation, breathing becomes difficult, one
becomes dizzy or feels unwell, one can smell or taste the flavour of the contaminated substance, or one feels any irritation.
-
WARNING: before switching on the filter fan in a contaminated area, one must ensure that the filters are already
connected and suitable for the pollutants which are present. If this is not the case, the inside of the turbine could
become irreversibly contaminated, as it is not possible to decontaminate the internal surface of the ventilator. The
polluting agents could ultimately also damage the internal electronic and mechanical components, thus causing the
apparatus to stop working.

Ensure that the hood/helmet/mask perfectly fits the user's face. The system's protection factor decreases if the
operator wears a beard or long hair which may impede a perfect adjustment to the face.
-
Ensure that the air pipe does not coil, is not squeezed or does not get caught on an object in the work environment.
4. ASSEMBLY/USE
The apparatus provides the desired performance when the following instructions are carried out correctly and in sequence.
The operations should be repeated each time that the apparatus is used.
See Figure 1 for the description of the components.
4.1. Battery recharge
- Remove the protection cap on the battery jack.
- Connect the battery charger.
- Charge the battery completely (the LED on the battery charger changes from red to green to indicate that the charge
is complete).
- The battery may be charged even when it is partially discharged.
WARNING: The protection cap on the battery jack should always be inserted when the apparatus is not recharging.
4.2. Preparation for TURBINE 170 and battery
- Put the device around your waist using its belt, adjusting it using the dedicated clasps.
- Tighten the filters (4) in the dedicated position (8) after having removed any possible caps or seals on the filters and on
the device, and after having ensured that the gaskets (10) are present and in good working condition.
ATTENTION: the TURBINE 170 should always be used with a pair of filters of the same model, which should both be
substituted once they wear out.
- Insert the pipe (3) on the apparatus, screwing it into the suitable connection (9) after having removed any possible
protection caps.
- Connect the pipe (3) to the mask (threaded connection which should be screwed on) or to the helmet/hood (bayonet
connection).
- Switch on the turbo ventilator while holding down the ON button which can be found on the upper part until the LEDs
switch on, while referring to the next paragraph 4.3 "Selection of the air flow rate".
4.3. Selection of the air flow rate
The TURBINE 170 has been designed so that it can function at a flow rate of 130 or 170 l/min per second for connected filters:
130 l/min for combined filters (202 A2B2E2P3 R D and 202 A2B2P3 R D), 170 l/min for the anti‐dust filters (100 P3 R).
The flow rate should be chosen when one is about to switch on the device.
The device can be switched on by pressing the ON button for 5 seconds. Every time that the TURBINE is switched on, it will
give out the same flow as it was emitting during the last use; the value is indicated by the corresponding LED which will
light up accordingly.
To change between different flow values one needs to press on the ON switch while the device is in start‐up phase until
the LED relating to the other flow value lights up. IMPORTANT: do not hold down the ON button for more than 10 seconds
as this may change the system's calibration, which would require a maintenance service by the manufacturer.
4.4. Verification of the air flow rate
To verify that the TURBINE 170 emits the desired flow, switch on the device, place the flow meter on the cylinder from
where the air exits and verify that the air flow measured by the flow meter is the same as that indicated by the LED.
4.5. Flow / insufficient battery alarm
The electric ventilator is equipped with an auditory and visual alarm (red LED) which lights up once the minimum flow rate
falls below 120 l/min.
If the minimum flow rate is not achieved, verify the battery charge or any obstruction within the filters. When the battery
is nearly out of charge, an intermittent light signal with a sound signal will activate.
4.6. Removal / switching OFF
Once the operation is terminated return to the non‐contaminated area after having effectively carried out personal
decontamination, remove the face protector and switch off the TURBINE 170 by holding down the ON/OFF switch for a
few seconds.
5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5.1.
Cleaning
After use, the TURBINE 170 should be cleaned with a damp cloth and then dried.
The breathing tube should be rinsed with water.
For cleaning the face protectors (mask/helmet/hood) refer to the relative instructions.
