Battery
General
Charge the battery before use. The recharging time of an empty battery is about 7 hours. The
temperature of the battery to be recharged must be +10 °C...+ 30 °C.
Recharging should always take place at a room temperature of about +20 °C, in a dry place
shielded from dust and direct sunlight.
Always use the Proflow's own recharging device (it is delivered with the blower unit). The
recharger performs a battery test at start of each charging to detect defective batteries.
Optimum performance with new battery packs is achieved only after they have completed three
charge-cycles.
Note!
A new battery or a battery stored for a longer period or an over-discharged battery may not
function stably, which will terminate the recharging prematurely. Monitor the red signal light
(=charging in operation) after e.g. 30 or 60 minutes and initiate the recharging several times
if needed.
In too cold/warm an environment the battery will not be charged.
Never recharge in a potentially explosive environment!
When not in use, prevent over-discharge of battery by keeping the blower device always on
recharge. Overcharging of battery is automatically prevented.
Recharging
Connect the recharging device to the main power supply (100-240 V/ 50 Hz). When not
connected to the blower device, the signal light will not start burning.
Open the protective lid of the blower's charging connector.
Push the recharging plug into the charging connector and turn the plug slightly clockwise until it
sits fast, otherwise the battery will not be charged. The charging will start automatically.
Throughout the recharging, the recharger's red signal light remains on. The time needed depends
on the battery status.
Recharging is complete when the red signal light goes out, and the green signal light starts
burning and stays on (standby level).
The recharging plug will come off when you pull the locking and simultaneously turn the plug
counter-clockwise. Then close the protective lid.

Display and buzzer
The blower device contains a display which indicates the battery status and the
fan motor power. The device will provide full protection in the range A9-A0 and
P9-P0 as long as the alarm does not go off.
Symbol A (green) = battery status
The display shows A8-A9 when the battery is fully charged, and A0 when the battery is empty.
For low battery the device gives a warning sound and A0 will start blinking on the display. After
the warning the blower device will operate normally another 5–10 minutes, after which the air
flow will deminish under the minimum flow rate.
Symbol P (green) = power indicator
The power needed is very much dependent on the filters and facepiece used. A low P-range
does not itself indicate any defect on the blower. When the display shows P9, the blower device
will easily reach the minimum flow rate. When the display shows P0, the blower device reaches
the minimum flow rate only with full motor power. This makes the battery run down rapidly.
