The rechargeable Li-ion batteries are specially designed for
use with the powered air purifying respirator. A rechargeable
high-capacity battery is also available in addition to the
rechargeable standard battery.
Rechargeable batteries for the different X-plore 8500 and
X-plore 8700 device types cannot be interchanged.
The battery status indicator shows the battery capacity while
you charge the unit with the standard charger or when you
push the button. The segments of the battery status indicator
are flashing while you charge the unit.
The battery status indicator is identical to the one on the
blower unit control panel (see chapter 3.2.1 Blower unit).
The rechargeable batteries reach their full capacity after
5 charge and discharge cycles. The standard charging time
takes approx. 3 hours.
In cases where the rechargeable battery has been completely
drained, charging may take up to 4 hours. During this time the
battery status indicator is not supported.
To prevent damage to or explosion of the rechargeable
battery, charging is limited to a temperature range of +32 to
+122 °F (0 to +50 °C). If this temperature range is
transgressed, the charging process will stop automatically
and continue once the temperature range is reached once
again.

3.3 Feature description
The powered air purifying respirator is a respiratory protective
device depending on circulating air. It filters the ambient air
and makes it available as breathable air. The device
continuously takes in ambient air through the respiratory filter.
The respiratory filter absorbs harmful substances depending
on the respiratory filter type. In this way, the ambient air is
recycled and finally reaches the facepiece. There it is
available as breathable air.
A continuous overpressure in the facepiece prevents ambient
air from penetrating.
3.4 Intended use
Depending on the employed respiratory filter type, the device
protects against particles, gases and vapors or combinations
hereof.
Only powered air purifying respirator X-plore 8700 is intended
for use in explosion-hazard areas.
For an overview of the device combinations and the
corresponding protection, refer to the Approval Label on the
separate supplement 9031316.
The listed components are designated for use with the X-
plore 8500 and X-plore 8700 blower units and the
corresponding rechargeable batteries.
Use only Dräger LBT 04** Li-ion battery pack (part numbers
R59575 or R59595) with X-plore 8700.
Dräger would be happy to answer any questions you may
have regarding device configuration.
