Equipment Devices).

APPARATUS OPERATION

AIR QUALITY

This Apparatus must be supplied with

clean breathable air, EN12021, AS/NZS

1715 or better, at all times. The NOVA 3

does not purify air or lter contaminants.

Breathable air must be supplied to the

point of attachment of the EN14594

approved NOVA 3 air supply hose.

Supplied breathing air must at least meet

the requirements for EN12021, AS/NZS

1715 and local Government Regulations.

When using the PX⁴ PAPR with the NOVA

3, always make sure to use a clean lter

cartridge to ensure the air is clean.

AIR SOURCE

Supplied AIr

Locate the air source in a clean air

environment, always use a lter on the

inlet of your air source. Do not park

vehicles beside your air inlet as this will

cause carbon monoxide to be drawn into

your air supply.

Use suitable aftercoolers / dryers with

lters and carbon monoxide alarms to

assure clean breathable air is supplied at

all times.

The air should be regularly sampled to

ensure that it meets EN12021, AS/NZS

1715 requirements.

POWERED AIR

Check that the contaminated area is

within the limits of the use of a Powered

Air Purifying Respirator and determine

the type of contamination. Once the

contamination level has been conrmed

then you can determine the lter

cartridge to be used for the application,

to make sure that you are suciently

protected. Make sure that the area is well

ventilated and that regular air samples

are taken to conrm the atmosphere

stays within the levels recommended by

OSHA and other governing bodies.
