Check if the ADF switches in to the dark mode in front of a bright light source before starting the welding process
Use the automatic filter at temperature between- 5°C – +55°C.
Do not disassemble the filter. Any problems arising, please contact your local Kemppi dealer.

Storage and maintenance

When not in use, the filter should be stored in a dry place within the temperature range of -10°C – +60°C. Prolonged exposure at temperatures above 45°C may decrease the battery lifetime of the filter. lt is recommended to keep the solar cells of the filter in the dark or not exposed to light during storage in order to maintain the powerdown mode. This can be achieved by simply placing the filter face down on the storage shelf. Both inner and outer protection plates (polycarbonate), must be used in conjunction with the auto-darkening filter in order to protect it against permanent damage.
lt is always necessary to keep the solar cells and the light sensors of the filter free of dust and spatters: cleaning can be done with a soft tissue or a cloth soaked in mild detergent.
Never use aggressive solvents such as acetone.

Introduction
The S1065 respiratory protection system is a combined face and respiratory protection device for increased safety and comfort during welding. Please read these instructions carefully before unpacking.
The fresh air system must not be used:

In a dangerous environment for the user’s health and safety, an environment with an oxygen level below 17% or containing unknown substances.
In confined or non-ventilated environments.
Near flames or projections.
In an explosion risk zone.
If the filter is not installed.

Approvals
The system complies with the requirements of PPE Regulation 2016/425 and European Standard EN 12941: 1998+A1:2003+A2:2008 TH3 R SL. The Respiratory System is designed to provide a supply of filtered air via an air hose to a welding helmet. The equipment can be used in environment that requires a class TH3 P breathing protection device. It protects against particulate contamination.

All components used in fresh air system must be manufacturer approved parts, and must be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
The approval is not valid if the product is incorrectly used together with non-approved parts or components.
Only the particle filter and pre-filter can be used together with this system. Filters from other manufacturers should under no circumstances be used.

Warnings and limitations to use
Before each use, inspect the fresh air system for damage and verify that it operates properly. Before using the fresh air system, test air flow to verify it is providing an adequate volume of air. Always wear the fresh air system and do not remove the helmet or turn off the air filter unit until outside the contaminated area. Otherwise, there is a risk of high concentration of CO2 and oxygen level in the helmet will fall, thus little or no protection is given.
If you are not sure about the concentration of pollution, or about equipment performance, ask the industrial safety engineer.
The manufacturer is not responsible for injury due to the following incorrect use or incorrect choice of equip-ment.

Warning

Respiratory protection devices should be used by well-trained and qualified persons only.
Before using the devices ensure you have understood that at very high work rates the pressure in the device may become negative at peak inhalation flow.
Before and during the use of the devices, attention should be paid to possible incorrect use and, if necessary, to the possibility of hoses and/or cables getting looped or stuck.
If the devices are in a power-off state before or during use, little to no respiratory protection should be expected. This condition is considered abnormal.
Please leave the work place and remove the welding helmet, when the devices are in the power-off state a rapid build-up of carbon dioxide and depletion of oxygen within the hood occur.
The user should not confuse the markings on a filter relating to any standard other than EN 12941 with the classification of this device when used with this filter.
DO NOT use with the blower unit switched off.
DO NOT use in an atmosphere that is immediately hazardous to user hygiene or health and/or has oxygen content of less than 19.5% or contains unknown substances.
DO NOT use in an explosive atmosphere.
DO NOT use in confined spaces or areas of poor ventilation
DO NOT use in high winds.
