I - INSTRUCTIONS & LIMITS OF USE:
The respiratory protection devices ROTOR GALAXY M9200&STRAP GALAXY M9300 are designed to comply with the
standard EN136:1998 Class 3. They are robust and offer considerable resistance to radiant heat and flames. These masks
are fitted with a standard threaded joint. They should be used with respiratory devices fitted with a male joint compliant
with standard EN148-1 (standard threaded joint): Examples: anti-gas filters, filters against solid and liquid particles,
combined filters to standard EN14387 (anti-gas filters and combined filters). We recommend using DELTAPLUS®
cartridges M8000&M9000 series available in A2, ABEK2, ABEK2P3, A2P3 and P3 (see the specific user manuals for
these devices).
Important remarks:
-
Do not use for any purpose other than that defined above:
-
DELTA PLUS shall not be held liable in the event of improper use or incorrect maintenance of this equipment;
-
These masks should be used by qualified and trained personnel. These people should remain under the surveillance
and responsibility of management perfectly aware of the limits of use and the laws in force in the country of use;
These masks should not be used with positive pressure respiratory devices;
-
These masks should not be used with closed circuit oxygen respiratory devices;
-
-
It is unlikely that sealing requirements be met if beard hair or glasses pass under the airtight surface;
-
Enriched oxygen poses a very high risk of fire or explosion. Take this into consideration when selecting your
equipment;
These masks can only be worn with their filtration system in atmospheres where the oxygen concentration is > 18%;
-
Do not use this respiratory protection device in potentially explosive atmospheres;
-
Before entering a contaminated area, you must check the sealing of the mask (see § Sealing inspection);
-
-
These masks have been designed for use with certain items of personal protective equipment (hard hats, ear
defenders). Check that using them simultaneously does not interfere with the level of protection of each item of
equipment.

II - DESCRIPTION:
Masks in the GALAXY series, are comprised of:
-
a full outer mask of molded silicon, covering the eyes, nose, mouth and chin;
-
a panoramic injected polycarbonate visor;
an inner ½ mask of molded silicon, separating the nose and mouth area from the eye area (lens) of the full mask. It is
-
used to reduce misting of the lens and enhance comfort. It is fitted with:
three inhalation valves used to inhaled filtered air from the outside;
an exhalation valve used to exhale air;
a sound device used to enhance clarity of communication.
-
a system for attaching the mask to the face either by:
a rigid strap, adjusted by rack and knob, a ROTOR® system (referenceROTOR GALAXYM9200), (See photo 1A)
a set of four straps, with adjustable loops (reference STRAP GALAXY M9300), (See photo 1B)
III – WEARING AND ADJUSTMENT:
A - Version ROTOR GALAXY M9200 (See photo 1A)
1 – Installing the mask
To release the harness to be able to place it on the head, pull on the blue knob with one hand, and with the other pull the
mask in the opposite direction (See photo 2A). To place the head inside the mask, position the neck first and then position
the face by sliding the mask downwards (See photo 3A).
2 – Adjusting the mask
When the chin is positioned in the inner mask, turn the knob clockwise until the face is evenly and comfortably laying along
the facial seal (See photo 4A). Adjust the size of the harness by pressing on the two blue buttons and sliding the harness
arms one way or the other so that it perfectly fits the shape of the head (See photos 5A).
3 – Removing the mask
Pull on the blue knob with one hand to open the system. Raise the mask taking the neck out first and then release the face
(See photos 6A and 7A).
B - Version STRAP GALAXY M9300 (See photo 1B)
1 – Installing the mask
Extend the arms of the straps as far as possible (See photo 2B). Pull open the lower neck arms and place the face into
the face-piece (See photo 3B).
2 – Adjusting the mask
When the chin is positioned in the inner mask, pull on each of the two upper straps (See photo 4B) then on the two lower
straps (See photo 5B). The face must be evenly and comfortable laying along the facial seal. The straps lock automatically
lock in position, fold them back behind the head to prevent any hindrance (See photo 6B).
3 – Removing the mask
Pull the straps towards the front of the face to release the system (See photo 7B).
C – Checking sealing (See Photos 8A & 8B):
Before entering a contaminated area, you must check the sealing of the mask on the face and the exhalation valves. When
the mask is installed and adjusted, place the palm of your hand over the threaded connection and inhale deeply. The
negative pressure created inside the mask should stick it firmly to the face. There should be no leaking of air to inside the
