The rechargeable batteries reach their full capacity after
5 charge and discharge cycles. The standard charging time
takes approx. 3 hours.

Feature description
The powered air purifying respirator is a respiratory protective
device depending on circulating air. It filters the ambient air
and makes it available as breathable air. The device
continuously takes in ambient air through the filter. The filter
absorbs harmful substances depending on the filter type. In
this way, the ambient air is recycled and finally reaches the
facepiece. There it is available as breathable air.
A continuous overpressure in the facepiece prevents ambient
air from penetrating.
3.4
Intended use
Depending on the employed filter type, the device protects
against particles, gases and vapours or combinations hereof.
Only powered air purifying respirator X-plore 8700 is intended
for use in explosion-hazard areas.
