1.2 About FA Flow Control system
FA Flow Control is a battery powered air purifying respirator unit for Kemppi's respiratory protective system, which is based on the principle of circulated pressurized air in the hood. The belt-mounted blower unit delivers air through a lter and via an air hose into a headpiece. The supply of ltered air creates positive pressure inside the headpiece, which prevents the external contaminated air from entering the user’s breathing zone.
FA Flow Control unit meets the European standard EN 12941, when used with Delta 90/Delta+ 90 SFA and XFA helmets.
FA Flow Control respiratory system can be used for protection against solid and liquid particles in breathing air in welding and similar processes. It is not to be used for protection against toxic gases and vapours.
2. Preconditions for use
Before you can use the system correctly and safely, you must fully understand all of the following precautions.
• Oxygen concentration in the surrounding area must not drop under 17%.
• Type and concentration of the contaminants in the working place must be known to the user.
• The FA respiratory system must not be used in unventilated areas such as tanks, pipes, channels etc.
• The FA respiratory system must not be used in areas with danger of explosion.
• The respiratory system must only be used with the blower unit switched on.
• The air ow must be checked before use.
• If the blower unit stops working for any reason, the user must leave the contaminated area immediately.
• If the blower unit is switched o, the respiratory system gives little or no respiratory protection. There is also a risk of high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and of oxygen reduction inside the headpiece.
During a period of really hard work when user’s breathing becomes very intense, pressure may decrease inside the hood and thus the protective eect can decrease.
• The headpiece must t the user´s face perfectly, only then the eciency of the system is sucient. The protective eect of the complete system is reduced, if the seal of the headpiece is not tted properly, for example, due to beards or long hair breaking the seal.
• It must be ensured that the air hose does not make a loop and does not get caught or trapped in the surroundings.
• Respiratory system FA Flow Control is restricted for protection against solid and liquid particles only. Do not use it against toxic gases and vapours.
• The unit does not protect the user against gases.
• It is essential to choose the correct type of lter according to the type of contamination.
• Immediately replace the lter(s) as soon as the contaminant can be smelt.
• When using lters protecting against contaminants, which are dicult to identify by smell or other senses, special rules depending on the current conditions must be followed.
• Use only original lters certied for the particular respiratory system.

3. Unpacking and assembly
3.1 Unpacking
Check that the package is complete and that no part has been damaged in transit or for other reasons.
A package with the complete system including accessories contains:
1. Blower unit including battery 1 pc
2. Belt 1 pc
3. Flexi hose 1 pc
4. Air ow indicator 1 pc
5. Battery charger 1 pc
6. Operating manual 1 pc
The FA Flow Control is supplied with P R SL lter.
3.2 Assembly
1. Connect the battery to the blower unit.
2. Attach the unit onto the belt. Make sure that the lter or lters are tted properly.
3. Connect the air hose to the blower unit.
4. Connect the air hose to the headpiece and hand tighten.
4. Usage
4.1 Inspection before every use
Do the following checks always before you start using the equipment:
• Check that all components are in good condition with no visible damage. Replace any damaged or worn parts. Carefully examine the air hose, seals and the facepiece.
• Check that there is a good connection between the air hose and the headpiece as well as the blower unit
• Ensure that there is sucient air ow as explained in section "Air ow test".
• Check that the air is supplied through the whole respiratory system from the blower to the hood.
Fully charge the battery before rst use.
4.2 Air ow test
Before every use, you should conduct an air ow test on the equipment as follows:
1. Disconnect the air hose from the blower unit.
2. Connect the air ow indicator to the unit.
3. Turn the unit on and check the air ow using the bottom air ow level.
If the pointer on the air ow indicator goes into the red zone, the air ow is insucient and the lter(s) must be replaced.
4.3 Using the FA Flow Control
1 Switch on the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button on
the control panel.
2 The airow can be adjusted with the plus and minus
buttons (+ and –) from 170 l/min up to 240 l/min. The number of lit green LED diodes indicates the airow level.
The unit ensures a constant supply of air. The microprocessor inside the unit automatically regulates the motor speed to compensate the lter clogging and the battery state.
If the microprocessor cannot maintain the adjusted airow, an acoustic alarm signal can be heard and the LED diodes display RED in colour. If possible, the microprocessor automatically reduces the airow to the next lower level.
3 When the airow falls below the minimum level, the
alarm intensies. Then the user must stop working at once and change the lter or recharge/change the battery.
To check the alarm function, perform the air ow test as follows:
1. Disconnect the air hose from the headpiece.
2. Cover the disconnected end of the air hose with your hand. The blower starts to run faster after about 20 seconds, the audible alarm activates and the LED diodes on the control panel start blinking.
3. Remove your hand . The blower speed should decrease.
If the blower speed does not change, it is necessary to check the unit.
4.4 Checking the battery state
4 Press and hold the left button (–) for more than 1
second. The more red coloured LED diodes come on, the higher the remaining battery capacity is.
4.5 Checking the lter
5 Press and hold the right button (+) for more than 1
second. The more yellow LED diodes come on, the more clogged the lter is.
After releasing the buttons, the LED diodes return to the green light state indicating the current airow.
