Cleaning And Maintenance - Spasciani Turbine 170 Breve Manual De Instrucciones

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 and 202 A2B2P3 R), 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.
5.2. Maintenance
The only possible servicing for the TURBINE 170 is the substitution of the battery pack when the batteries are
completely exhausted. The breathing tube does not require any maintenance.
For servicing the face protectors (mask/helmet/hood) please refer to the related instructions.
