Unpacking & Battery Charging - 3M Versaflo TR-800 Series User Instructions

UNPACKING & BATTERY CHARGING
Unpacking
Inspect the package contents for shipping damage and ensure all components are present. Package contents will vary
depending on components or kit ordered. The product should be inspected before each use following the procedures in the
"Inspection" section of these User Instructions.
1. The 3M™ Battery Pack TR-830 is intrinsically safe only when mated with a TR-800 Powered Air Purifying Respirator.
To reduce the risk of ignition of a flammable or explosive atmosphere, batteries must be changed only in a
location known to be non-hazardous. Never bring this battery alone into an area which is potentially flammable or
explosive. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
2. The battery chargers for this system are not intrinsically safe. The TR-830 battery pack must not be charged in
an area which is potentially flammable or explosive. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
3. Always correctly use and maintain the Lithium-ion battery packs. Failure to do so may cause fire or explosion or
could adversely affect respirator performance and result in injury, sickness or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in hazardous locations,
or near sources of high heat.
b. Do not immerse without the battery storage and cleaning cover installed.
c. Do not use, charge, or store batteries outside the recommended temperature limits.
d. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored, and outside of the classified intrinsically
safe area.
Battery Charger Setup
There are two battery charging options for 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-800 Batteries. The 3M™
Battery TR-641N kit includes (1) 3M™ Charger Cradle TR-640 and (1) 3M™ Power Supply TR-941N. The 3M™ 4-Station
Battery Charger Kit TR-644N includes (1) 3M™ 4-Station Battery Charger Base/Power Supply TR-944N, and (4) 3M™
Charger Cradles TR-640. Refer to the chargers and battery packs for the 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator
TR-800 Assemblies User Instructions for additional information on proper battery pack use and maintenance.
NOTE: Immediately charge battery packs upon receipt and after each use.
Refer to TR-800 chargers and battery packs User Instructions for additional information on proper battery pack use, charging
and maintenance. The run times for the TR-800 will vary for each configuration and is dependent on headgear,
filter/cartridge, selected airflow, filter loading, battery selected, battery condition, and environmental conditions.
The battery packs do not require a learn cycle to calibrate or re-calibrate the battery pack charge indicator. However, it may
take up to three complete charge/discharge cycles for the battery to reach its maximum capacity and claimed run times.
Charge the battery pack
1. Inspect battery pack. If cracks or damage are noted do not charge the battery pack. Properly dispose of the battery
pack and replace.
2. Place chargers in a cool, well-ventilated location free of particulates or other airborne contamination.
Optimal temperature range: 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
Charging range: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Do not charge outside of this range.
3. Charging cradle setup:
• 3M™ Single Station Battery Charger TR-641N: Insert the DC supply cord from the 3M™ Power Supply TR-941N into
the cradle. (Fig. 1a). Plug the power cord into an AC power source (100-240V), such as a wall outlet.
• 3M™ 4-Station Battery Charger TR-944N: Insert the 3M™ Battery Charger TR-640 into one of the charging ports on
the TR-944N and slide back to lock into place. (Fig. 1b). (NOTE: the TR-941N power cord is not used with the TR-640,
when the 4-station charger is used.) Insert the DC supply cord supplied with the kit into the 4-station base. Plug the
power cord into an AC power source (100-240V), such as a wall outlet. You may charge any combination of up to four
3M™ Battery Packs simultaneously.
NOTE: The 3M™ Battery Charger TR-640 and 3M™ 4-Station Battery Charger TR-944N do not use the same power supply.
Use only the power supply supplied with your charger kit.
