Applications and Uses
This system is designed to operate between -6°C and +50 °C
The turbine unit will provide a minimum of 120 ltrs/min of air to each port (which is the minimum requirement for this system).
This air can be provided to 2 users at a
MAXIMUM
distance of 40 metres each. The airflow can be increased by rotating the
control on the turbine in a clockwise direction. This should be adjusted to the preference of the user. An increase in setting may
be required if any of the following are relevant: Twin users, Long lengths of hose, Very high work rates.
When operating the system as unpowered, the
MAXIMUM
length of hose that should be used is
20 metres.
The system with class 2 hoses offers a Nominal protection factor of 2000 as defined in EN 138. It thus should not be used where
the level of contaminate in the atmosphere is greater than 2000 x Occupational Exposure Limit. It should be noted that EN 529
gives an assigned protection factor of 40 for the UK which may be used as an alternative protection factor limit. Refer to EN 529
for further guidance.
The Full facemask should be fitted, used and maintained in accordance with the instructions supplied with it.
