INSTRUCTIONS FOR JSP AVENGER NEW
AIR FED VISOR KIT N-AF-KIT
EN14594:2005
EN
The Air Fed kit is a compressed air fed respirator which, when supplied with breathable quality compressed air, passes it via a belt-
mounted regulator and exible tube into a visor. These instructions must be read in full before operating the equipment. Failure to
follow these instructions completely may result in a decrease in protection or no protection at all. This air fed system conforms to
European Standard EN14594:2005. ‘Light duty construction compressed air line breathing apparatus incorporating a helmet or hood’.
SELECTION
The appropriate respiratory protection should be selected for the application in hand. Reference should be made to “Selection Use
and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices”, available from the HSE.
APPLICATION
The Air Fed system is a class 2A device and will provide protection against airborne dusts, mists, gases and vapours up to a protection
factor of 50, i.e. it can be used in areas where the concentration of contaminant in the workplace air is up to 50 times the Occupational
Exposure Limit (OEL).
• This system should not be used where the level of contaminant exceeds 50 x the OEL or where the contaminant or its level is unknown.
• This system should not be used in oxygen decient atmospheres.
• This system should not be used below 0°C.
USE
• Air Supply Specication
• Input pressure: 3.3 bar (47 PSI) at input to supply hose.
• System consumption: 150 litres/minute (5.3cfm) minimum.
NOTE: The air supply must be of breathable quality as dened in EN132. The air supply system should be equipped with a
pressure relief safety valve.
AIR SUPPLY HOSE SPECIFICATION
The system should be used with a single 5/16” (8mm) supply hose with maximum working pressure of 15 bar (217 PSI) and maximum
length of 10m.
NOTE: The air supply hose is only suitable for use in areas where risk of damage is low and movements of the wearer are
limited. It has no additional antistatic or heat resistant properties.
• Visor Air Supply Specication and Air Flow Indicator Minimum Design Flowrate : 150 litres/min (5.3cfm)
• A whistle is positioned on the regulator attached to the adjustable belt. The whistle is desgined to make a sound when the air drops
below the minimum design ow rate.
REGULATOR SPECIFICATION
• This regulator has limited adjustment. Do not attempt to over-adjust it.
• This adjustment allows the user to maintain sufcient air ow to the visor when using auxiliary attachments and to adjust for comfort.
• The regulator has an individual serial number. The last two numbers denote the year of manufacture.
BEFORE USE
The following should be performed in an uncontaminated area:
• Check that the air supply pressure and ow available are in accordance with the above air supply specication.
• Inspect the equipment before use for any signs of damage or deterioration. Do not use the equipment if it appears damaged.
• Fit the belt with the regulator attached around the operator’s waist with the regulator on the side of the body. Lock the buckle and adjust
the belt to a comfortable tightness.
• Connect the male end of the main air supply hose to the main air supply. Connect the female end of the main air supply hose to the
male inlet of the regulator.
• Examine the visor and replace the visor cover if contaminated, by pulling it off and pushing a new visor cover over the two metal studs.
• Connect the visor to the outlet of the regulator ensuring that it is locked in place.
• Check the air quality from the visor. If an odour is detectable the cause should then be investigated since further pre-ltering will
probably be required.
• If an accessory such as a spray gun or power tool is to be driven from the same compressed air supply tube, ensure that the airow
indicator shows that sufcient ow is being delivered into the visor when the accessory is consuming the maximum airow
requirement.

FITTING THE BROWGUARD ASSEMBLY
• Open out the head harness by pressing and rotating the knob on the back of the harness.
• To t the head harness, adjust the crown strap and the knob at the back of the head harness until the face seal ts around the face
when the visor is ipped down.
• The light duty breathing hose should run down the back of the user.
IN USE
• If an oil odour develops during use the quality of the supply air and any upstream in-line ltration should be checked to ensure that
the air being fed to the breathing equipment is free from oil mist. If tted, the regulator carbon cartridge may need replacing.
STORAGE
• The equipment should be stored in an uncontaminated environment away from direct sunlight preferably packed in an enclosure.
• Recommended limits of storage are 0 to +35°C with RH < 65%.
WARNINGS
• Breathable quality compressed air, as dened in EN132, MUST be available. Regulator lter is for nuisance odours only. It will NOT
lter particulates and hazardous vapours
• The user must ensure the purity and identity of the breathing air supply at all times.
• The air supply system should be equipped with an appropriately rated and adjusted pressure relief safety valve.
• If the face seal does not t closely to the face then the stated levels of protection may not be achieved.
• This system should not be used below 0°C.
• This system should not be used in or with oxygen or oxygen enriched air.
• At very high work rates the pressure in the visor may become negative at peak inhalation ow.
• The protection factor may not be achieved with persons with excessive facial hair or glasses.
• Adequate protection may not be provided by the apparatus in certain highly toxic atmospheres.
• This apparatus should not be used in areas where inhalation of the atmosphere, whilst escaping in the event of failure of the air
supply, would cause serious harm to health.
• The visor offers impact protection to EN166-F and optical class 1. These levels may be lowered if correct care is not taken of the
equipment. Optical clarity may be affected by contamination or by one or more visor covers.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All maintenance should be performed in an uncontaminated area.
• Visor covers (G-MVC10/G-MVC50) should be replaced when contaminated.
• The complete kit of equipment should be inspected on a monthly basis (or before use for occasional users) and any worn or
damaged components are replaced. Particular attention should be paid to the visor and its face seal.
• The equipment has a ve year shelf life from the date of manufacture.
• The equipment should be stored and transported in a way that will not affect its working performance. It should preferably be kept in
its original packing at an even ambient temperature and humidity.
CLEANING
• The external surfaces of all components may be cleaned using a sponge and warm soapy water and afterwards rinsed and allowed
to dry naturally.
• Do not immerse any part of the system in water, particularly the regulator system as this may damage it.
