Testing The Batteries - 3M SCOTT AIR-PAK X3 PRO Operating & Maintenance Instructions

INSPECTING THE RESPIRATOR
TIP
The yellow light is a combination of the red, green, and white lights that appears yellow-orange or amber
from a distance. At close range, the individual lights may be visible.

Testing the Batteries

On respirators equipped with a distress alarm, the battery condition can be tested manually as follows:
1 Make sure the distress alarm is off (i.e., the cylinder valve is closed, and no sensor module lights are flashing).
NOTE
Do not use tools to close the cylinder valve. Over-tightening the cylinder valve may cause damage that
could result in air leaking from the cylinder.
2 Press and hold the manual reset (yellow) button on the console. Observe the final light color (green or red) in the
sequence to determine the battery status.
•
Green lights on the control console and sensor module indicate that sufficient battery power remains.
•
Red lights on the control console and sensor module indicate that the batteries are low and must be replaced
before the respirator is used again. 3M recommends replacing all batteries before the respirator is used again.
See "Chapter 5: Replacing
