Let's walk you through the steps of using and assembling your TECMEN FreFlow PAPR Respirator Unit. From understanding the components to effortless operation, we've got you covered.

 

Components of the TECMEN PAPR System

A complete TECMEN PAPR system comprises the blower, filtration unit, breathing tube assembly, battery, and a welding helmet or face shield. Notably, the FreFlow blower unit is versatile and compatible with any TECMEN respirator helmet or face shield.

 

PAPR System Operation

The PAPR system works by drawing surrounding air through filters to supply purified, cool air to the facial area through the breathing tube.

 

User-Friendly Operation

Using the unit is straightforward. To power on, press and hold the button for 3 seconds. To power off, press and hold until the bleeping sounds finish. The same button controls airflow levels, allowing you to switch between low and high speed, indicated by the airflow indicator light.

 

Filter and Battery Status

Monitor filter status with the display, where light spots indicate filter dirtiness. Flashing lights and vibrations signal the need for a filter change. The battery indicator keeps you informed of the battery status.

 

Assembly Process

Start by ensuring the right filters are in place—spark screen, pre-filter, and P3 particulate filter are standard. Optional ABEK gas and odour filters cater to specific needs. If replacing filters, ensure the unit is off before opening the cover.

 

Filter Replacement

Install the spark screen, pre-filter, and P3 filter, followed by the optional gas or odour filter if needed. Place the filter cover assembly into the blower unit, ensuring a secure click.

 

Battery Attachment

Attach the battery to the blower unit, choosing the fast-charging standard battery or the extended battery for gas filter use. Slot the battery into the unit until it clicks. To remove for charging, push the button at the front and separate it.

 

Breathing Tube Assembly

Assemble the breathing tube by inserting the prongs into the blower unit and helmet air duct, giving it a ¼ twist to lock. Clip the breathing tube into the holder on the back cover of the headgear to secure it in place.

 

Shoulder Strap Adjustment

Hook the shoulder straps to the belt and adjust for a comfortable fit. Once set up, experience the benefits of the FreFlow respirator, enjoying fresh, cool air during your work.
