1.5
1.5.1 ZP3 FILTER:
The letter "R" marked onto the filter indicates that the dust filter or filtering part of a combined
filter can be used for more than one working shift after exposure to aerosols
asbestos removal work where the filter must be disposed of after
micro porous technical paper finely pleated with normalized EN 148-1 thread ( see filter use
instruction).
1.5.2 ZA2P3 / ZA1P3 FILTER:
It is made of 2 parts - the first of finely pleated submicron technical paper and the other of
activated carbon. Connection: Thread - meets EN 148-1 standard requirements (see use
instructions)
1.6 Signaling of the air flow of an entity lower than the minimum design value.
When the flow falls below 160 l / min there is a visual (orange LED flashing) and acoustic
signal directly on the control unit. The signal is active in the 2 minutes following the switching
on of the control unit.
1.6.1 Flow indicator
It consists of a transparent tube with a sphere inside. The indicator is used to check the correct
functioning of the electronics in the control unit with which it is supplied.
1.7 Battery charge level indicator
The LED changes state / color depending on the battery charge level:
CHARGE LED LED STATUS
LEVEL COLOR
100% < < 25% GREEN ON
25% < < 5% GREEN FLASHING
(*) < 5% RED FLASHING
(*)This signal prevails over that of flow below 160 l / min

3 FUNCTION
Breathable, filtered, air passes through the inhalation valves to the inside of the visor.
The filtered air flows over the visor minimising visor misting then passes through check valves
to the inner mask. Excess and exhaled air is expelled through the exhalation valve.
(See also full face mask use instructions enclosed herewith). The air flow remains constant as
the voltage supplied by the battery varies.

5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 LI-870 battery recharge
The lithium battery must be recharged with Kasco LI-02 charger.( see battery charger use
instructions).
RECHARGE THE BATTERY AFTER EACH USE.
5.2 Battery and blower unit set-up

Slip belt through battery hook.

Connect battery to blower by means of cord and tighten nut to ensure contact.

Slip belt through e-T5 blower hook.

Make sure that the blower is functioning and that the filter seal gasket is properly housed.

Before using the filter for the first time check that seals are unaltered and within the
expiry date and that they fit the respirator. Do not misinterpret the filter labeling according
to other
12942:98+A1/02+A2/08.

Remove covers from the filter, screw it though the EN148-1 thread onto the chosen
respirator and read the filter use instructions.

Connect breathing tube to the face mask and to the T5 or T8 blower unit.

Screw M3 blower unit to the face mask connector.
5.3 Face mask set up
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions enclosed.
5.4 Donning the face mask
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions enclosed.
5.5 Check of the air flow
5.5.1 Checking the functioning of the electronic minimum flow indicator
• Disconnect the control unit-mask delivery pipe (only for e-T5).
• Make sure the battery is fully charged (See charging instructions) and that the filters are
screwed on correctly.
• Insert the flow indicator in a vertical position on the delivery of the control unit.
• Start the control unit and observe the position of the sphere inside the indicator.
a) If the sphere rises above the horizontal mark, the electronic signaling must be fixed green
the
LED. The equipment is suitable for use.
b) If the sphere remains below the mark, the electronic signal must be flashing orange and the
audible alarm is active. Change the filter and repeat the test. If the ball still remains below the
mark, replace the battery and filter and repeat the test.
c) If the sphere continues to remain under the mark, absolutely do not use the dpi.
d) If the electronic signal is not aligned with that of the indicator, do not use the control unit.
Note: the electronic alarm checks must be carried out within 2 minutes of switching on the
control unit.
• If the test has been passed, remove the flow indicator and connect the control unit to the
breathing tube (for e-T5) or to the mask (for e-M3).
5.5.2
3000
• Put on the respirator and start the control unit.
• After one minute of operation, check the status of the LED. If it flashes ORANGE with an
1500
acoustic alarm, it is necessary to change the filter.
• When the FLASHING RED LED signal is activated accompanied by an acoustic alarm, the
operator must immediately leave the contaminated place: the minimum flow is still guaranteed
Approx.
for 5-10 minutes from the moment of activation.
6 MAINTENANCE
6.1 Full face mask
See full face mask Use and Maintenance instructions enclosed).
6.2 Blower units

The motor does not require servicing.

Clean blower with organic solvent free detergents or better still with a cloth dipped into a
50% water ethyl alcohol solution.
6.3 LITHIUM Battery

The battery does not require servicing or tipping up.
Clean battery with organic solvent free detergents or better still with a cloth dipped into a 50%
water ethyl alcohol solution.
RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER EVERY USE FOR LONGER LIFE. THE BATTERIES
CANNOT BE KEPT DISCHARGED. In case of default check the tension . the batteries are
equipped with a protection circuit that cuts the alimentation off in case of current overload
* RECHARGE THE BATTERY EVERY 3 MONTHS IF NOT USED.
* The control unit monitors the battery charge level according to the procedures described
in point 1.7.
6.4 FILTERS

If sealed, the filters remain unaltered until the expiry date shown on them.

Unsealed filters have to be replaced every three months, regardless of the amount of
hours worked. It is thus advisable to write the date on which the filter was opened on the
filter itself.

Filters cannot be washed, blown out or restored. When exhausted they must be disposed
of.

Replace both filters simultaneously.
6.5 The respirator is to be serviced once a year by KASCO or Kasco authorized service
centre.
6.6 After asbestos removal work, decontaminate as follows:

take a shower while wearing all PPEs including the respirator switched ON.

remove the filter/filters and dispose of them in the appropriate containers. Note: The
filter is not to be reused for asbestos removal activities.

allow the respirator to dry

fit plugs on the blower unit and store the respirator.
7 WARNING
7.1 Do not use the respirator under the conditions listed at point 4.2
- Do not use the respirator unless the airflow check indicated at point 5.5 has been
carried out.
7.2 Do not immerse unit in water for cleaning without appropriate caps
7.3 DO NOT KEEP DISCHARGED, RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE

Do not place battery near any heat source.

Do not place battery on or near equipment which vibrates excessively.

In case of battery breakage wash immediately the parts which have in contact

Do not expose battery to infrared or ultraviolet rays excessively.

Do not puncture, crush, disassemble, or open the battery as this may cause the leakage
of hazardous material which could ignite or burst.
