Application:
The typical temperature of use should be between -10°C and +45°C.
The APS CL2 SC/APS CL2 FS and APS T CL2 SC/APS T CL2 FS face shields have arc fault protection class 2 and light transmission
class 0 according to GS-ET-29. These face shields provide maximum light transmission and meet the requirements for "improved colour
recognition" according to EN 170. No additional illumination is necessary under normal work conditions. Nevertheless, please check your
own personal colour recognition in the work environment.
The APS 12C SC/APS 12C FS and APS T 12C SC/APS T 12C FS face shields have arc fault protection class 2 and light transmission
class 1 according to GS-ET-29. These face shields by far exceed the arc fault protection requirements for the highest arc fault protection
class of GS-ET-29, whilst still meeting the requirements for "improved colour recognition" of EN 170. According to GS-ET-29, additional
illumination may be required for products of light transmission class 1 to achieve a minimum illumination of 30 lux behind the visor.
The APS T 20C SC/APS T 20C FS face shields have arc fault protection class 2 and light transmission class 2 according to GS-ET-29.
These face shields exceed the arc fault protection requirements for the highest arc fault protection class of GS-ET-29, whilst still meeting
the requirements for "improved colour recognition" of EN 170. According to GS-ET-29, additional illumination may be required for pro-
ducts of light transmission class 2 to achieve a minimum illumination of 30 lux behind the visor.
NOTE: Since work place conditions may differ, please check if additional illumination is required when wearing one of the above-men-
tioned face shields.
Artificial lighting, in particular the light from fluorescent or LED lamps, may affect your ability to distinguish colours due to the tinting of
the face shields. To ensure that you are able to recognise colours sufficiently well under the local illumination conditions, we recommend
proceeding as follows before you start work:
Â
Use colour-coded cable sections like the ones to be found at your work place;
Â
Ensure that you are in a safe and sufficiently illuminated environment (type and intensity);
Â
Clean your face shield and examine it for signs of damage in line with this user information (do not hesitate to replace the face
shield, if necessary);
Â
Put on the face shield according to this user information;
Â
Sort the cables quickly.
If you have problems identifying the colour codes or, when you check the results, the cables have been sorted incorrectly, the work place
is not well enough lit. Working there may result in an accident, e.g. an arc fault accident.
NOTE: The face shield is designed to protect the wearer's eyes and face against the mechanical and thermal dangers presented by an
arc fault. However, it does not replace the goggles, other eye and face protection, respirator masks or other PPE required, according to
a risk assessment and the applicable occupational health and safety regulations, to ensure adequate protection at a specific work place.
Please ensure that the PPE used is compatible.
