NEVIS FRESH AIR SUPPLY EQUIPMENT – User Instructions
Unpowered Fresh Air Hose System & Powered Fresh Air Hose System (Powered by Mini-Turbine)
Selection of Systems
The Full-Face Mask Fresh Air System can be used either as Unpowered (Negative Pressure), where the air is drawn
through the system by the lungs of the user, or as a Powered system where air is supplied by connecting a
Centurion Mini turbine to the end of the air supply hose.
The choice of which system to use is left to the user. Normally if the system is likely to be used for any
significant period of time (i.e. over an hour) then the powered option is preferable in terms of comfort to the user.
The unpowered system should be used if there is no power available for the turbine or if the atmosphere where the
turbine is to be sited does not permit the use of electrical equipment (for example a potentially explosive
atmosphere).
Both systems conform to Fresh Air BA EN 138:1994 Class2.
The Safe Operation of Mini Turbine Unit
This appliance is simple to operate and can be used by persons with limited
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understanding the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
The powered system (R26/500, R26/500/EURO) may also be used in a potentially
flammable atmosphere provided the mini turbine unit itself is not sited within or
close to this flammable atmosphere. The Mini-Turbine is NOT intrinsically safe
and should not be sited in an area which has a flammable atmosphere or may
become flammable. The Mini-Turbine should not be left unattended during use.
Electrical Safety
Visually inspect the cable along its length for damage i.e. torn Insulation, exposed
conductors and Security and condition of the plug fitted to the cable. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not use the unit if any of the above conditions are found
Periodic electrical safety checks must be carried out by a competent person.
Should the turbine unit fail to operate check the supply, the fuse in the plug
(230volt UK version only) and the fuse in the unit (Replacement fuse T 2.5amp
250V Anti-surge type RS 537-1486).
WARNING – failure to use the correct type of replacement fuse may cause
permanent damage to the Unit
