Preconditions for use

– The ambient conditions (particularly the types and concentrations of
contaminants) must be known. Use corresponding respiratory filters. Only
use self-contained open-circuit breathing apparatuses or air line breathing
apparatuses in cases where the contaminant is unknown.
– Always use two respiratory filters of the same type and from the same pack.
– Only use filtering devices if the air does not directly endanger the health or
life of the user.
– It must be ensured that the ambient atmosphere cannot change for 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 UK
– at least 19 Vol% oxygen in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Australia
and New Zealand
– In other countries, observe the applicable national regulations.

Inserting the respiratory filter

The following description applies to uncapsulated particle filters, particle
filters, gas filters and combination filters. For information on other filters from the
X-plore series, refer to the relevant instructions for use.
● Position the respiratory filter (see fold-out page, Figure B1) – line
markings opposite! – and lock it as far as it will go (see fold-out page,
Figure B2) by turning the respiratory filter downwards as far as it will go
(line marking of the respiratory filter above the end of the arrow!). The
respiratory filter is released in the opposite direction.
