AIR SOURCE, FITTINGS, AND PRESSURE

AIR SOURCE

Supplied Air

Locate the air source in a clean air environment, always use a ﬁlter on the inlet of your air

source. Make sure the air source is somewhere that vehicles, forklifts, and other machinery

are not running near the air inlet, as this will cause carbon monoxide to be drawn into your

air supply. Always use suitable after coolers/dryers with ﬁlters and carbon monoxide alarms

to ensure clean breathable air is supplied at all times. A Radex®Airline Filter (04-900) and

a GX4®Gas Monitor (08-400) are recommended. The air should be regularly sampled to

ensure that it meets Grade D requirements.

AIR QUALITY

This respirator must be supplied with clean breathable air at all times. Breathable air must at least

meet the requirements for EN 12021 and AS/NZS 1715. The RPB®NOVA 2000®does not purify

air or ﬁlter contaminants. A carbon monoxide monitor must be used at all times.

Do not connect the respirator’s air supply hose to nitrogen, toxic gases,

inert gases or other non-breathable air sources. Check the air source

before using the respirator. This apparatus is not designed for use with mobile air supply systems

i.e. cylinders. Connecting the supply hose to a non-breathable air source will result in serious

injury or death.

BREATHING AIR SUPPLY HOSES AND FITTINGS

RPB®breathing air supply hoses and ﬁttings must be used between the point of attachment

and the respirator breathing air connection at the wearer’s belt. The hose sections must be

within the correct length and the amount of sections must be within the number speciﬁed in

the breathing air pressure table on pages 13.

BREATHING AIR PRESSURE

The air pressure must be continually monitored at the point of attachment. Air pressure must

be read from a reliable pressure gauge whilst the respirator has air ﬂowing through it.

part of this product.

Inspect all components daily for signs of damage or wear and tear that may reduce the level

of protection originally provided. Remove any damaged component or product, including any

helmet or visor that has been subject to impact, from service until repaired or replaced. Scratched

or damaged safety lenses or other components should be replaced with genuine RPB®brand

replacement parts. When safety and impact lenses are replaced, make sure to remove any

additional protective ﬁlm from both sides of the lens. If the ﬁlm is left in place, it could affect the

optical clarity of the lens and cause eye strain. Inspect the inside of the respirator for respirable

dust or other foreign objects. Keep the inside of the respirator clean at all times.

Make sure that the helmet is correctly assembled in the conﬁguration that suits your application.

Never use the respirator without all lenses in place. This includes the Inner and Outer Lenses.
