JSP POWERCAP INFINIY Mode D'emploi page 3

GENERAL USE & WARNING SYSTEM:
• PowerCap Infinity will deliver a minimum 160L/min of filtered air to the user for upwards of 8 hours through a fresh pair of filters.
® ®
• The user may notice changes in motor tone associated with movement, this is a normal operational sound linked to motor construction.
• The array of LEDs at the top of the field of vision is a Head-Up Display (HUD) informing the user of PowerCap
warning scenario table.
• As the battery approaches low remaining charge, the green light will be joined by a flashing red light to inform the user of having
approximately 20 minutes to withdraw from the hazard area to replace/recharge the battery.
• As the battery approaches a fully discharged state, the green light will extinguish and the flashing red light will be joined by a two-tone
buzzer. The user should withdraw from the hazard zone immediately to replace/recharge the battery pack.
• Do not use or store PowerCap
• When the green light is replaced by a blue flashing light and a pulsed buzzer tone, the system is no longer able to deliver sufficient airflow
as the filters have become blocked. The user should withdraw from the hazard zone immediately to check and/or replace both filters.
• PowerCap Infinity is rated as IP54 for protection against water and dust ingress. The unit can be used in dusty environments and
® ®
inclement weather conditions. It should not be immersed in water.
USING POWERCAP INFINITY
®
• Operating temperature should be between +5°C and +40°C and relative humidity not greater than 75%.
• PowerCap Infinity offers respiratory protection against spores, fibres, fumes (very fine metallic droplets/particles) and dusts.
® ®
• The visor offers protection against medium energy impacts, short circuit electric arcs, molten metals and hot solids to EN166.
• The EVO 5 helmet offers protection against falling objects to EN397.
®
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
PowerCap Infinity should be used in situations where the requirements for EN 12941:TH3, EN166:2001 and/or EN 397:2012 protection applies.
® ®
• This apparatus must not be worn in the hazard zone with the drive unit switched off.
• When switched off a build up of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen may occur.
• When switched off no respiratory protection is provided; this is considered to be an abnormal running condition.
• The apparatus should not be used in explosive atmospheres unless it is marked with the
• The apparatus should not be used in oxygen deficient atmospheres.
• The apparatus is NOT suitable for protection against gases and vapours.
• The apparatus should not be used in an atmosphere immediately hazardous to life or health.
• At high work rates the pressure in the device may become negative at peak inhalation flow.
• Using the apparatus in high wind velocities may affect filtering efficiency.
• Only use genuine PowerCap
• Do not lift the visor whilst in the hazard zone.
• Do not expose PowerCap
®
• Do not use PowerCap Infinity
®

ADDITIONAL INDUSTRIAL SAFETY HELMET INSTRUCTIONS:
Fitting and adjustment: Fit the helmet as described in the PowerCap
PowerCap Infinity must fit or be adjusted to the size of the user's head.
® ®
Use: The helmet is made to absorb the energy of an impact by partial destruction or damage to the shell or harness and even though such
damage may not be readily apparent, any helmet subjected to severe impact should be replaced. This helmet has been designed to protect
the wearer against electrical shocks by preventing passage of dangerous current through the body via the head. The helmet must be used with
other insulating protective equipment when working on low voltage installations. The user should check that the electrical limits of the helmets
correspond to the nominal voltage that is likely to be encountered during use. Accessories and/or replacement components are available with
fitting instructions from JSP.
Inspection and care of the helmet: The helmet is a complete system consisting of shell and harness. The helmet's useful life is affected by
many factors including the cold, heat, chemicals, sunlight and misuse. The helmet should be examined daily for obvious signs of cracking,
brittleness or damage to either helmet or harness. The user should be aware that there is potential risk of loss of protection due to ageing
and/or inappropriate cleaning. The effectiveness of the insulating properties of the helmet may be affected by the conditions of use. The date
of manufacture is moulded into the peak of the helmet. While the helmet is free from defects it is suitable for its intended purpose. If in any
doubt destroy the helmet.
Useful life: Under normal circumstances the helmet has a maximum life of 5 years from date of manufacture. Under no circumstances must a
component other than a JSP component be used on a JSP helmet.
