JSP AVENGER N-AF-KIT Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS FOR JSP AVENGER NEW
The Air Fed kit is a compressed air fed respirator which, when supplied with breathable quality compressed air, passes it via a belt-
mounted regulator and flexible tube into a visor. These instructions must be read in full before operating the equipment. Failure to
follow these instructions completely may result in a decrease in protection or no protection at all. This air fed system conforms to
European Standard EN14594:2005. 'Light duty construction compressed air line breathing apparatus incorporating a helmet or hood'.

SELECTION

The appropriate respiratory protection should be selected for the application in hand. Reference should be made to "Selection Use
and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices", available from the HSE.

APPLICATION

The Air Fed system is a class 2A device and will provide protection against airborne dusts, mists, gases and vapours up to a protection
factor of 50, i.e. it can be used in areas where the concentration of contaminant in the workplace air is up to 50 times the Occupational
Exposure Limit (OEL).
• This system should not be used where the level of contaminant exceeds 50 x the OEL or where the contaminant or its level is unknown.
• This system should not be used in oxygen deficient atmospheres.
• This system should not be used below 0°C.

USE

• Air Supply Specification
• Input pressure: 3.3 bar (47 PSI) at input to supply hose.
• System consumption: 150 litres/minute (5.3cfm) minimum.
NOTE: The air supply must be of breathable quality as defined in EN132. The air supply system should be equipped with a
pressure relief safety valve.
AIR SUPPLY HOSE SPECIFICATION
The system should be used with a single 5/16" (8mm) supply hose with maximum working pressure of 15 bar (217 PSI) and maximum
length of 10m.
NOTE: The air supply hose is only suitable for use in areas where risk of damage is low and movements of the wearer are
limited. It has no additional antistatic or heat resistant properties.
• Visor Air Supply Specification and Air Flow Indicator Minimum Design Flowrate : 150 litres/min (5.3cfm)
• A whistle is positioned on the regulator attached to the adjustable belt. The whistle is desgined to make a sound when the air drops
below the minimum design flow rate.

REGULATOR SPECIFICATION

• This regulator has limited adjustment. Do not attempt to over-adjust it.
• This adjustment allows the user to maintain sufficient air flow to the visor when using auxiliary attachments and to adjust for comfort.
• The regulator has an individual serial number. The last two numbers denote the year of manufacture.

BEFORE USE

The following should be performed in an uncontaminated area:
• Check that the air supply pressure and flow available are in accordance with the above air supply specification.
• Inspect the equipment before use for any signs of damage or deterioration. Do not use the equipment if it appears damaged.
• Fit the belt with the regulator attached around the operator's waist with the regulator on the side of the body. Lock the buckle and adjust
the belt to a comfortable tightness.
• Connect the male end of the main air supply hose to the main air supply. Connect the female end of the main air supply hose to the
male inlet of the regulator.
• Examine the visor and replace the visor cover if contaminated, by pulling it off and pushing a new visor cover over the two metal studs.
• Connect the visor to the outlet of the regulator ensuring that it is locked in place.
• Check the air quality from the visor. If an odour is detectable the cause should then be investigated since further pre-filtering will
probably be required.
• If an accessory such as a spray gun or power tool is to be driven from the same compressed air supply tube, ensure that the airflow
indicator shows that sufficient flow is being delivered into the visor when the accessory is consuming the maximum airflow
requirement.
