Preparations For Use - Dräger Panorama Nova S - ESA Instructions For Use Manual

It must be ensured that the ambient atmosphere cannot change to

the worse.
Do not use filtering devices if there is suspicion of contaminants

with low warning properties (low-odour, tasteless, no irritation of
eyes and airways). A decreasing protective effect of the filtering
device cannot be determined in this case.
Do not use filtering devices for entering unventilated tanks, mines,

canals, etc.
Do not use filtering devices in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.

The oxygen content of the ambient air must not fall below the

following limit values:
at least 17 Vol% oxygen in all European countries except the

Netherlands, Belgium and the UK
at least 19 Vol% oxygen in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK,

Australia and New Zealand
In other countries, observe the applicable national regulations.

Preparations for use

 Use mask spectacles, if necessary.
3.4 Donning the mask/helmet combination and
checking the functional integrity
1. Adjust the adapter slot and the internal helmet components.
WARNING
!
To ensure the leak tightness of the full face mask, the adapter
slots and internal helmet components must be precisely
adjusted.
Extreme head shapes can lead to incompatibilities or
leakages.

2. Stroke any hair back off of your forehead. Your forehead must be
kept clear to ensure a tight fit of the full face mask.
3. Don the protective headgear, leave the chin strap open.
4. Place the carrying strap around your neck.
5. Take hold of both mask/helmet adapters, then slide the upper edge
of the full face mask against your forehead under the protective
headgear.
6. Pull both mask/helmet adapters backwards simultaneously to
tighten and clip them into the adapter slots in the protective
headgear.
7. Adjust the full face mask and loosely close the chin strap of the
protective headgear under your chin.
8. Ask an assistant to check the fit of the
full face
elements
otherwise adjust the hairnet in the
protective headgear.
9. Seal the connector and inhale until a negative pressure is
generated. Hold your breath for a moment.
The negative pressure should be retained. No air may enter the full
face mask from the outside. Repeat the leak test twice.
10. Check the exhalation valve: Seal the connector and exhale
vigorously.
The exhaled air must be able to escape without obstruction
through the exhalation valve. If not, replace the exhalation valve.
11. Grease the seal of the ESA plug-in connector with silicone grease
(e.g. Molykote 111), if necessary. The lung demand valve is then
easy to connect.
12. Connect the self-contained breathing apparatus, airline equipment
or respiratory filter.
13. Check the proper fit by turning and pulling the lung demand valve
vigorously.
Have a second person check the tightness and correct connection.
