INSTRUCTION MANUAL
2. INTRODUCTION
The T100 is approved by NIOSH as a Type C continuous ow supplied air respirator. It
can be used for general purpose applications, including Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing, Chemical and Pesticide Handling, Tank Cleaning, Spray Painting, and
other industrial or agricultural applications in which respiratory protection is needed.
The T100 has been designed for use in atmospheres that are NOT IMMEDIATELY
DANGEROUS TO LIFE OR HEALTH (IDLH); and from which the user can escape without
EPA, NIOSH, or ACGIH regulations and recommendations.
The T100 is approved for use with any one of the following ow control devices:
All RPB Respiratory products are covered by a manufactures warranty of 3 months. The
manufacturer warranty covers defects in material, workmanship and does not cover
damage caused by misuse or abuse. RPB Respiratory’s only obligation and your exclusive
remedy shall be to repair, replace or refund the purchase price of such parts or products
upon the presentation of proof of purchase. Maximum liability is in no case to exceed the
value of the RPB Respiratory Product involved.

3. WARNINGS
3.1 AIR FILTRATION & CARBON MONOXIDE MONITORING
It is an OSHA requirement that the T100 supplied air respirator be supplied with
CGA G-7.1 Grade D air. To achieve this, RPB recommends using the Radex™ Airline Filter
(04-900) and a Radex™ Carbon Monoxide Monitor (08-200). Further information is
available by contacting RPB Respiratory on 1-866-494-4599 or from your nearest
authorized RPB Respiratory distributor.

4. RESPIRATOR OPERATION
4.1 AIR QUALITY
This respirator must be supplied with clean breathable air at all times. Breathable air
must at least meet the requirements for Type 1 gaseous air described in the
Compressed Gas Association Commodity Speci cations G.7.1 (Grade D or higher) and
as speci ed by Federal Law 42 CFR 84, subpart J.84.141(b) and 29 CFR 1910.134 (i) the
T100 does not purify air or lter contaminants.
4.2 AIR SOURCE
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. Always use suitable after coolers / dryers with lters
and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure clean breathable air is supplied at all times. The
air should be regularly sampled to ensure that it meets Grade D requirements.

4.3 BREATHING AIR SUPPLY HOSES & FITTINGS
NIOSH approved RPB Respiratory air supply hoses an
the point of attachment and the respirator breathing air connection at the wearer’s
belt. The hose sections must be within the approved length and the amount of
page 7.
4.4 BREATHING AIR PRESSURE
The air pressure must be continually monitored at the point of attachment
meets Grade D requirements. Air pressure must be read from a reliable pressure gauge
whilst t
The T100 ssure ranges
needed to provide the respirator with a volume of air which falls in the required range
of 6-15cfm (170-425 Its/min).
Make sure you understand the Breathing Air Pressure table
before using this respirator.
!Determine your air source (column 1)
!Identify your breathing tube assembly (column 2)
!the part number of the air supply hose you are using (column 3)
!Check your RPB Respiratory Air Supply Hose is within the NIOSH approved
length (column 4)
!Set the air pressure at the point of attachment within the ran
(column 6) for your breathing tube assembly, hose length and number of hose
sections. (column 5)
when setting the air pressure.
WARNING: failure to supply the minimum required air pressure (for the length of air
supply hose) at the point of attachment could result in contaminants being inhaled.
This risk is due to the pressure in the helmet becoming negative when the peak
inh w (at high work rates) exceeds that of the supplied air.

6.1 NV2016 - ADJUSTING THE FLOW RATE
Air owing into the respirator is controlled by
the NV2016 as shown in the illustration to the
left.
Note: With the pressure set according to the
Breathing Air Pressure Table the ow rate of air
through the respirator should always exceed the
minimum of 170 l/min.
6.2 4000-40 - ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
To obtain cooler air turn the regulator control knob anticlockwise so it is aligned along
the length of the tube. This will increase the air ow out of the exhaust port. Similarly,
turn the knob clockwise 90°, this will increase the temperature of the air closer to the
ambient temperature of your air supply.

8. INSPECTION CLEANING & STORAGE
8.1 RESPIRATOR
!Inspect the material for rips, tears, or damage including loose or missing
threads, that may reduce the protection of t .rotaripsereh
!Inspect the lenses for cracks, scratches, or distortions that may reduce the
clarity or protection of the lens. Do not wipe the lens with strong solvents, as
they may damage, or distort the lens.
!Inspect the inner bib for elasticity and to ensure that there are no tears,
missing treads, or other damage.
!If any part is damaged, replace them with approved parts only, or dispose of
the respirator, and replace it with a new one.
!Cleaning the Respirator is not recommended. When the Respirator becomes
dirty, it should be replaced or disposed of.
8.2 HEAD SUSPENSION
!Remove the Head Suspension from the Respirator. Inspect for cracks, worn
adjustment slots, or broken parts. Any parts that are damaged or worn must
be replaced immediately.
!
The T100 has a limited service life, and therefore a regular inspection and replacement
program must be conducted. All components of this Respirator Assembly including the
Air Supply Hoses should be inspected for damage and wear and tear, before use. If any
damaged or worn parts are found, they should be replaced immediately, or the
Respirator disposed of. Use only the NIOSH approved parts as set out in this
instruction manual. Refer to the parts list on page 16 for the correct part numbers.
The brow pad can be removed, and cleaned in a conventional washing
machine, or be rinsed with a light detergent and water. Do not clean with
volatile chemicals.

8.3 BREATHING TUBE ASSEMBLY
Disconnecting the Breathing Tube
8a Remove Hose Clamp
Release the hose clamp by sliding the
locks sideways in opposite directions.
8b Detach Tube From Respirator
Remove the Breathing Tube
respirator
Inspect the Breathing Tube for cracks or excessive wear. Check that the ttings are
secured into the hose tightly and are not allowing any air to escape. Replace the
Breathing Tube as soon as signs of damage or excessive wear become evident.
Air leaks will cause a drop in air ow resulting in less protection.
8.4 AIR SUPPLY HOSES
Inspect the Air Supply Hose for cuts, cracks, blisters and excessive wear. Ensure the
hose has not been crushed or kinked and that ttings are tightly crimped to the hose
so air cannot escape. Replace the hose immediately if there are any signs of damage or
wear. Do not run water through the inside of the hose. Check Quick Disconnect
Couplings and use compressed air to remove any particles that may jam the coupler.
8.5 STORAGE
After the respirator and the components have been inspected and cleaned, place them
in an air tight container, or plastic bag. Store Respirator parts away from contaminates,
direct sunlight, heat, extreme cold, moisture, or harmful chemicals.
