USER INSTRUCTIONS: 

ConceptAir POWERED RESPIRATOR UNIT (R23/2000PLUS)

Available systems: 

 

Helmet/Visor System - Visor System – ADF Welding Helmet System

WARNINGS

 

• 

If these instructions are not followed or the unit is used incorrectly the system may not offer protection to EN 12941+A2    

  2008.

 

• 

Power units offer NO protection unless a main filter is fitted.

 

• 

 In the abnormal situation where the power unit is switched off whilst being worn, the headpiece offers no respiratory 

 

 

protection and rapid CO2 build-up and oxygen depletion may also result. 

 

• 

At high work rates the pressure inside the headpiece may become negative at peak inhalation.

 

• 

The system should not be used in oxygen deficient or oxygen enriched atmospheres.

 

• 

The user must ensure that the nature of the hazard is identified and that the system offers an adequate level of protection.

 

• 

This unit should not be used where the nature of the hazard is unknown.

 

• 

This unit is NOT intrinsically safe and therefore should not be used in explosive atmospheres

 

• 

Be aware that the hose protrudes from the back of the headpiece and take care to avoid snagging. 

 

• 

In high wind velocities, the assumed protection levels may not be achieved.

 

• 

Respiratory protection will be reduced unless the headpiece is correctly fitted and properly maintained. 

 

• 

 Do not confuse the markings on any filter which relate to a certification other than EN 12941. The classification of filters used 

with an EN 12941 system will begin with “TH”.

 

• 

Filters should only be fitted to the power unit, do not attempt to fit them directly to a hood or helmet.

 

• 

At higher altitudes above 500 metres the “Blocked filter alarm” may sound prematurely (contact Centurion for further 

  information).

The Nominal Protection Factor (NPF) is derived from the laboratory tests undertaken in EN 12941. The Assigned Protection Factor (APF) is the 

expected level of protection when an effective respiratory protection programme is in place. For country specific Assigned Protection Factors, please 

refer to European Standard EN 529:2005.

APPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS

The ConceptAir respirator system provides protection against dusts, particles, fumes and aerosols (solid and liquid based) to the levels detailed. 

 

No protection is given against gases or vapours.

The ConceptAir system should not be used where airborne concentration of contaminant exceeds the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) x the 

Occupational exposure limit (OEL) or Workplace Exposure Limit (WEL).

The system is recommended for use in the temperature range +5°C to +35°C and in conditions where relative humidity does not exceed 90%.

For further information regarding protection factors please contact Centurion customer services.
