Functional description
The powered air purifying respirator, T-Air, 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 filters. The filters absorb 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.

Warning devices
Malfunctions during operation are indicated by warning devices. The warning devices include:

• vibration alarm
• optical alarm (display on control panel)
• acoustic alarm

NOTE
The vibration alarm is triggered in addition to the acoustic alarm. Depending on the thickness and material of the clothing, the vibration alarm might not be perceived. The blower unit always delivers the same default flow rate. If in the foreseeable future the blower unit will no longer be able to deliver the default flow rate (e.g. due to increasing saturation of the particle filter), a warning or alarm is triggered.

NOTE
Warnings or alarms are indicated by flashing red LEDs. For an explanation of malfunction indicators, see section 4 Troubleshooting

Intended use
Depending on the connected filter type, the device protects against particles, gases and vapours or combinations hereof.

Limitations on use
The device is not suitable for use:
• in explosion-hazardous areas (Ex-areas)
