Check that the contaminated area is within the limits of use for a Powered Air Purifying
Respirator and determine the type of contamination. Once the contamination level has
been confirmed you can then determine the filter cartridge to be used for the application,
to make sure that you are sufficiently protected. Make sure that the area is well ventilated
and that regular air samples are taken to confirm the atmosphere stays within the levels
recommended by OSHA and other governing bodies. Follow the PX5 PAPR Instruction
Manual for more details.

Some materials could cause an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. If you have a known
allergy or develop irritation, inform your employer. Follow all cleaning and care instructions
provided in the instruction manuals for this and any other RPB products you are using.
MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM IS READY FOR USE
Make sure you have a complete system. Verify that you have all required components for the
T200 to serve as a complete NIOSH approved respirator:
Respirator Hood Assembly (T200)
Breathing Tube Assembly
Flow Control Device (PX5 PAPR)
See Respirator Component Diagram (page 6). The RPB T200 is only approved to be used with
the RPB PX5 PAPR. Use only authentic RPB brand parts and components that are part of the
NIOSH approved respirator assembly. Using incomplete or inappropriate equipment, including the
use of counterfeit or non-RPB parts, can result in inadequate protection and will void the NIOSH
approval of the entire respirator. Do not modify or alter any part of this product.
Inspect all components daily for signs of damage or wear and tear that may reduce the level of
protection originally provided. Remove any damaged component or product, including any hood
or helmet that has been subject to impact, from service until repaired or replaced. Scratched or
damaged lenses or other components should be replaced with genuine RPB brand replacement
parts. When the hood is replaced, make sure to remove any additional protective film from both
sides of the lens. If the film is left in place, it could affect the optical clarity of the lens and cause
eye strain. Inspect the inside of the respirator for respirable dust or other foreign objects. Keep the
inside of the respirator clean at all times.
Make sure that the helmet is correctly assembled in the configuration that suits your application.
An incomplete or improperly installed hood could provide inadequate impact and respiratory
protection. See Respirator Setup and Care (page 12) See Donning (page 19) for fit information.
VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE THE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT FOR YOUR ACTIVITY
Verify that the T200 provides appropriate protection for your activity. As applicable, check your
