connected in series.
1.5 FILTERS
1.5.1 ZP3 FILTER: The letter "R" marked on the filter shows that the dust filter or filtering
part of a combined filter can be used for more than one working shift after exposure to
aerosols; the letters "NR" indicate that the use is strictly limited to one working shift.
The filter is made of micro porous technical paper finely pleated with normalized EN
148-1 thread ( see filter use instruction).
1.5.2 ZA2P3 FILTER: it is made of 2 parts - the first of finely pleated submicron technical
paper and the other of activated carbon.
Connection: Thread - meets EN 148-1 standard requirements (see use instructions)
1.6 AIRFLOW INDICATORS:
1.6.1 ELECTRONIC INDICATOR - with audible alarm : mounted on the T8X blower unit for
the powered respirators with K80E helmets.
1.6.2 SPHERE TYPE INDICATOR : for the powered respirators with K80 and K80S

3. OPERATION
3.1 The blower unit, powered by rechargeable battery, takes in air through the filters and
sends it, via hose, to the inside of the helmet. The helmet goes into slight positive over
pressure and the wearer breathes filtered air only. Expired air is expelled through the
diaphragm valves.
4. USE
4.1 The powered respirators are designed for the protection of the respiratory tract
of the wearer and not for other risks such as the protection of the face or eyes.
a)Some uses for which the AIR SYSTEM kit in combination with the K80S / K80 / K80E
helmet for the protection of the respiratory system against solid and liquid aerosols (ZP3
filter) are designed
• Agriculture: Cleaning stables, pens and coops.
Handling and processing grains and fodder
• Chemical and: pharmaceutica, Chemical dusts, formulations and pastes; Biohazardous
operations and infectious diseases.
• Construction, building and renovation: Cutting / polishing / grinding / drilling of
concrete, stone, masonry; Plaster; Painting and surface coating; Masonry work and
renovations; Controlled demolition
• Metal working, Mechanical machining and scrapping,
• Wood working, Cutting / bending / drilling / sanding; Adhesive removal via scraping and
sanding,
• Working with fibreglass and minerals: Mineral mining and marble working.
• Painting: Powder coating and spraying.
b)against solid and liquid aerosols, organic gases and vapors (with ZA2P3 filters):
• Agriculture: Mixing / spraying of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides; Spraying and weeding
using tractor/ service machine; Spraying and weeding using knapsack sprayers; Pesticide
treatments (vineyards, orchards, cereals,nuts, etc.); Pesticide treatments in greenhouses
and nurseries; Disinfestation
• Construction, building and renovation:
