Instructions for use of the AVEX P3 R antiparticle filter, intended for use with
quarter-masks, half-masks, full face masks and filter ventilation units.
FILTER TYPE: P3 R/ TH3 P R SL / TM3 P R SL
Before using the filter, carry out a visual inspection and ensure that the filter is
not damaged or used. Check that the connection thread of the protective device
matches the thread of the filter and remove the filter from the packaging.
Remove the covers from the filter thread and inlet, screw the filter onto the
connective chamber of the protective face unit or filter ventilation unit. Save the
covers as they will be used to close the filter after use. Before and during use,
the type and concentration of the harmful substances must be known. Oxygen
concentration in the surrounding atmosphere must be at least 17% vol. The
duration of effective use of the filter depends on the type and concentration of
the harmful substances, relative air humidity, the amount and the size of the
particles. If the breathing resistance increases due to clogging, the filter must
always be replaced. When used against common, non-toxic particles, the filter
can be used repeatedly (R). After use, close the filter inlet and outlet with the
covers. The used filter is treated as hazardous waste according to the
categorisation of the (harmful) substance against which the filter had been used.
The filter may be disposed of by incineration in a chemical waste incinerator or
deposited in a suitable chemical waste landfill.
Restrictions:
The filter must not be long-
term exposed to direct radiant heat above 100°C.
During use, do not subject the filter to open fire. Failure to follow the conditions
of use may result in irreversible damage and filter malfunction. When used
against dangerous microorganisms, highly toxic or radioactive particles, the filter
is intended for single used only. The maximum air flow per filter is 95 litres/min.
Use:
The filter, in conjunction with a suitable type of protective equipment, ensured
protection against solid and liquid aerosols, fibro-plastic particles
(e.g. asbestos), dust, smoke and dangerous microorganisms (bacteria, viruses,
fungal spores, rickettsias, etc.)
If the breathing resistance increases due to clogging, the filter must always be
replaced. When used against common, non-toxic particles, the filter can be used
repeatedly (R). After use, close the filter inlet and outlet with the covers.
