TABLE 1.1
This table lists air pressure ranges needed to provide the RPB
®
NOVA 1
®
with the volume of
air that falls within the required range of 160 - 425lpm (7 - 15cfm) according to government
regulations. Maximum working pressure of the compressed air supply tube is 20.7 BAR.
BREATHING AIR PRESSURE TABLE
Make sure you understand the Breathing Air Pressure table before using
this respirator.
1.
Use the correct air source. Do not use an ambient air pump, as it does not supply enough
pressure (column 1).
2.
Confirm the part number of the air supply hose you are using (column 2) and the flow control
device (column 3) you are using.
3.
Check your RPB
®
Safety Air Supply Hose is within the correct length (column 4) and the
correct number of hose sections (column 5).
4.
Set the air pressure at the point of attachment within the range specified (column 6).
Make sure air is flowing through your respirator when setting the air pressure.
ALWAYS WEAR EAR PLUGS WHEN WEARING THIS APPARATUS.
RECOMMENDATION:
Check that the air supply system can sufficiently supply every apparatus
connected to the system according to the user instructions.
Failure to supply the minimum required air pressure at the point of attachment for the length
of air supply hose will decrease the level of protection provided. Check that the capacity of the
air supply systems can provide sufficient air to all users, with a maximum of 5 users connected
simultaneously per air supply unit. In addition, could result in contaminants being inhaled as
the pressure in the helmet may become negative due to peak inhalation flow when working at
very high work rates. Low airflow will decrease the level of protection provided.
