Here are the most common issues with powered air respirators and practical steps to resolve them.

No Airflow from the Blower Unit

  • The blower unit is not on - long press the ON button
  • The battery has no power - charge the battery
  • The battery is not installed properly - check and reassemble the battery
  • Tube blocked/air leakage - inspect the breathing tube for blockages or leaks and remove any obstructions.

Airflow Test Failed

  • The hose may be blocked or there is an air leakage - check the tube status
  • The filter is clogged and dirty - replace the filter

The battery is not lasting as long as it should, even when fully charged

  • Incorrect charging - try fully charging the battery again Blocked/dirty filter - replace the filter
  • Charger may be damaged - test the battery with a different charger to confirm if the issue lies with the charger or battery.
  • Battery could be faulty - if none of the above have worked, replace with a new battery

Increased noise level

  • The filter is getting clogged - replace filter and pre-filter as required

Warning indicator is ON and the blower is vibrating with the alarm sound beeping

  • Damaged filter - check the filter status and replace if needed
  • Hose has a leak - check how the tube is assembled as well as the status
  • Filter component not complete - check and equip both filters
