Protector PHANTOM Instrucciones De Funcionamiento página 3

PHANTOM users must be familiar with workplace hazards prior to using the equipment and must be fully
trained in the use of the apparatus.
This Manual must be read in conjunction with the filter Manual prior to using the equipment.
This product must only be used with Protector-branded filters manufactured by Scott Health and Safety
Limited. The use of any other filters will negate the approval and will be likely to reduce the level of
protection provided.
Change the filter if contaminant can be smelled, tasted, or if the canister is clogged. Filter life depends
upon the density of contaminant in the atmosphere, wearer work rate and heart/lung efficiency.
DO NOT use PHANTOM in confined spaces, oxygen deficient atmospheres (<19.5%), oxygen enriched
atmospheres (>23%) or where there is an immediate hazard to life or health.
DO NOT use in an explosive atmosphere, where the explosion hazard requires the use of Intrinsically Safe
respiratory protective equipment.
DO NOT use if the ambient temperature is outside of the range -10°C to +50°C. Humidity levels up to 95%
RH do not present any operational problems.
DO NOT use if the respirator or filter is damaged. DO NOT use if the filter is clogged or time-expired (see
filter label).
Protection will only be obtained if the unit is fitted correctly.
It is unlikely that the requirements for leakage will be achieved if hair, spectacle side arms or clothing
intrude into the faceseal.
At very high work rates, pressure inside the facemask may become negative at peak inhalation.
In the unlikely event of power failure while in use, do not remove the respirator. Breathe normally. The
respirator will continue to provide a high degree of protection, acting as standard negative-pressure filter
equipment. Exit the hazardous area immediately and report the fault.
DO NOT modify facemasks as this will invalidate all approvals and may result in death or injury to the
wearer.
INTRODUCTION
General:
PHANTOM is a TM3 power-assisted
respirator conforming to EN 147 : 1991
with a nominal protection factor of 2000.
The respirator comprises: a full facemask
with an integral blower, a mask-mounted
filter and waistbelt-mounted battery.
The blower draws air into the facemask
through the filter and directs the filtered
air up to the left side of the visor. The
constant flow of air keeps the visor clear
of misting, removes perspiration and
provides air to the face.
WARNINGS
Exhaled breath leaves the facemask
through the exhalation valve in the side of
the mask (see Fig. 1).
Wearers are able to decontaminate and
shower after work, whilst still wearing the
respirator.
Weights:
•
Facemask, with blower and filter -
755g.
•
Battery - 745g.
In accordance
advisable that respirators of this class are
not used in contaminant concentrations
exceeding 40 x Occupational Exposure
Limit.
