INTRODUCTION
The RPB
®
PX4 AIR
®
is approved in the
following configurations, 03-911 to EN 12941:
1998 + A1: 2003 + A2: 2008 as a Powered
Air Purifying Respirator Fan Unit only when
used in conjunction with the following
Respirators:
Nova 3
®
Respirator - (EN 12941: 1998 +
A1: 2003 + A2: 2008 TH3 P R SL)
Z3
®
Welding Respirator - (EN 12941: 1998
+ A1: 2003 + A2: 2008 TH2 P R SL)
Z-LINK
®
Respirator - (EN 12941: 1998 + A1:
2003 + A2: 2008 TH2 P R SL)
T-LINK
®
Respirator - (EN 12941: 1998 +
A2: 2008 TH2 P R SL)
The RPB
®
PX4 AIR
®
is approved with the
following filter cartridges:
03-985 High Efficiency (HE) Filter
03-995 Organic Vapor/Acid Gas/High
Efficiency (OV/AG/HE) Cartridge
This Respirator System is intended to be
used only in conjunction with an “Organised
Respiratory Protection Program” which
complies with the Requirements of National
and Local Governments.
The RPB
®
PX4 AIR
®
belt mounted assembly
consists of a motor/blower unit, high
efficiency filter, waist belt and lithium ion
battery pack. The motor/blower unit draws
ambient air through its high efficiency
filter and supplies air to the headgear via a
breathing tube. The blower unit is equipped
with automatic flow control; the motor speed
is monitored and regulated during operation
to compensate for the charge state of the
battery pack and the increasing level of
airflow resistance caused by filter blocking.
Should the airflow fall below the minimum
flow rate an audible alarm will sound and the
fan indicator light bar will turn red and flash
on the control panel. The user should leave
the work area immediately should this occur.
In like manner, the Battery indicator bar will
turn red and sound the audible alarm when
the battery has approximately 10 -15 minutes
of charge left, to give sufficient warning to the
wearer that the power will shut off soon.
When selecting a Powered Air Purifying
Respirator (PAPR), the following factors need
to be considered:
1.
Possible occurrence of explosive
atmosphere.
2.
Types of pollutants.
3.
Concentrations.
4.
Intensity of work.
5.
All other protective requirements other
than respiratory.
All risk analysis should be carried out by a
person trained to make suitable decisions on
these matters.
The RPB
®
PX4 AIR
®
has been designed
for use in atmospheres that are NOT
IMMEDIATELY DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR
HEALTH (IDLH).
The RPB
®
PX4 AIR
®
03-911 are approved
to EN 12941: 1998 + A1: 2003 + A2: 2008
TH2/TH3 P R SL for use in environments
where hazards are known and characterized
and oxygen deficiency is not present. It
is only approved in the configurations
indicated on page 4 of the manual. Refer
to the Instruction Manual provided with
the appropriate RPB
®
Respirators for more
information.
