INTRODUCTION
The welding helmet LCD GYSMATIC 5/13 XXL and the air purifying/repiratory unit combine to form a face and breathing protection device for
increased safety and comfort. Base on the principle of overpressured air circulation, the respiratory protection system is mounted on a waist belt and
delivers a regulated air flow through a tube straight into the helmet. The flow of purified air creates an overpressure, thus preventing the outside air
from going into the helmet.
APPROVAL
The complete system is a breathing protection device complying with EN 12941: 1998+A2:2008, class TH2 P R SL (Protection level : 20). The unit can
only provide such protection if the filters are supplied by the manufacturer. This air purifying/respiratory unit is certified and approved with GYSMATIC
5/13 XXL helmet, which itself is is certified and approved according to standards EN 175, EN 175, EN 166, EN 168 et EN 379.

INSTRUCTIONS
When the respiratory system is off, no air purfication/respiratory protection is possible. The concentration of carbon dioxyde increases
and the oxygen level decreases, thus the system must not be used when it's switched off.
THE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SYSTEM MUST NOT BE USED :
• in a dangerous environment for the user's health and safety, an environment with an oxygen level below 17% or containing unknown substances.
• In confined or non ventilated environments such as cuves, etc.
• Near flames or projections.
• in an explosion risk zone.
• In a very windy zone.
• if the respiratory protection system stops working: the user must evacuate the contaminated area immediately.
• If the filter is not installed.
IT IS ESSENTIAL :
• that nothing comes in contact or alters moving parts.
• do not try to modify the device or the filter.
• that no liquid or fluid goes into the device – especially the motor, the liquid and the battery.
Make sure that the hood (made of cloth) is properly postionned and not damaged. The filtration efficiency depends on it. The
protection level decreases if the hood is not postionned properply (big beard, long hair, etc).
Make sure that the air hose is not obstructed or folded.
The unit must be positionned behind the user to reduce these risks.
The filter must not be installed directly in the helmet, nor modified. An effective filtration cannot be ensured if one or some of the
filter's parts are modified.
The respiratory protection system must only be used by a qualified/trained user.
The filter must not be modified to fit other filtration units.
If one of these recommendations is not followed, the warranty is automatically void.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO LEAVE THE CONTAMINATED AREA IF :
• the minimum air flow alarm beeps.
• breathing becomes difficult.
• a feeling of dizziness or loss of balance.
• one or several of the device's parts are damaged.
• the air flow suddenly decreases or stops.
• contaminated air or elements are felt inside the helmet.
