2. INTRODUCTION

3. SPECIFICATION

The SSP201 is the Full Face Mask and Belt assembly only, which must be used in conjunction with coalescing filter SSP21X and low

toxic breathing hose SSP20H to provide clean air. The SSP201K is the complete air-fed full face mask system (see parts list). All further

references relate to the SSP201K complete kit.

1.1. General

The SSP201K Complete Air Kit system is NOT designed for use in atmospheres containing flammable gas mixtures.

The SSP201K is designed for use against contaminants which are NOT immediately dangerous to life and health or where

self-contained breathing apparatus is not essential.

SSP201K is designed for use with COMPRESSED AIR ONLY. DO NOT USE WITH COMPRESSED OXYGEN OR OXYGEN

ENRICHED AIR.

No protection is given unless the mask is correctly fitted and an adequate supply of breathing air is maintained.

Only when the equipment is correctly worn, will it provide the prescribed degree of protection.

The SSP201K is the correct apparatus for persons with a beard or facial hair. DO NOT use a half mask.

A combination of wall mounted filter SSP21X and belt mounted carbon filter unit WILL NOT remove Carbon Monoxide, Carbon

Dioxide, or other toxic gases. Wall mounted filter SSP21X is designed to remove particulate and moisture from the air supply.

If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the equipment for the work to be undertaken, consult your supplier.

1.2. Negative Pressure

At high work rates air pressure within the mask may become negative (a vacuum) briefly as the user breathes in.

The apparatus has a maximum flow of 232 ltr/min and MUST NOT be used where work rate will require a supply in excess of

232 ltr/min.

1.3. Compressed Air Supply

The user MUST ensure that the air supply to the apparatus is within the limits recommended. The air supply should be dry to avoid the

risk of freezing in cold conditions.

If the air supply ceases, or is reduced significantly, withdraw from contaminated atmosphere immediately and check system for faults.

4.1. Air Quality:

The wall mounted coalescing filter SSP21X used in conjunction with the belt mounted carbon filter will give breathing quality air to if the correct

maintenance and servicing instructions are followed (Part 8). These standards state that air supply for breathing should NOT contain

impurities in excess of:

4.2. Compressed Air Supply Hose:

The approval granted for this equipment includes the compressed air supply hose; it is therefore essential that the equipment is used only with

listed hoses (see parts list).

4.3. Air Supply Pressure:

The SSP201K Kit is designed to operate with a compressed air supply pressure of 2-7bar (30-100psi), measured at the input to the supply

hose. The mask requires a minimum supply of 150ltr/min (5.4cfm) and if used with a spray gun a minimum of 620ltr/min (21cfm) must be

available at 6bar (90psi).

When setting up to work with the kit check:

5.1. That it is possible to measure the air supply pressure.

5.2. That the compressed air supply will deliver within the required pressure range (see 4.4).

5.3. That the air supply is to breathable standard (see 4.1).

5.4. That there is sufficient length of compressed air supply hose for the operator to carry out the work in hand and to enter and leave the

work area without removing the protective equipment.

Carbon Monoxide....5ppm (5.5mg/m3) Carbon Dioxide....500ppm (900mg/m3) Oil Mist Particles....0.5mg/m3

Note: Air should be free of odour and contamination. We recommend fitting a pre-filter before the coalescing filter.

The kit is designed for use against contaminants which are not immediately dangerous to life and health, or where self contained breathing

apparatus is not essential. It is possible that, at very high work rates, the air pressure within the mask may momentarily become

negative as the user breathes in. If this happens, seek technical advice. The kit is designed for use with compressed air only,

(compressed oxygen enriched air sources must not be used). Should there be any doubt about the suitability of the equipment for the work

at hand, consult your supplier. If the air supply ceases or is significantly reduced, immediately withdraw from the contaminated atmosphere

and check the system for faults.

WARNING REMINDER!

4. OPERATING PARAMETERS

Original Language Version SSP201K,SSP201 Issue: 1 - 09/01/15

7. OPERATION

The equipment must be checked at monthly intervals (use a record card). Care taken during and after use will ensure that the

equipment gives reliable and lasting service.

The system is designed to minimise servicing. Worn or damaged components can be replaced as sub-assemblies.

8.2. General Maintenance.

8.2.1. Preset Regulator

This regulator is preset and sealed and can only be replaced as a complete unit.

8.2.2. Belt Mounted Filter Unit

The unit has a replacement element (Item 8) contained in a screw on/off bowl housing. This element must be replaced if its colour

changes from white to pink, or if there is any trace of odour. The filter unit should be periodically subjected to a pressure

differential test at full flow. If a 10psi differential is recorded then the filter requires replacing. To do so, disconnected the air supply,

unscrew the element, clean the bowl with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Screw new element on (hand tight only) and check for

leaks. If the bowl is scratched, pitted or discoloured, fit a new bowl. Fit bowl hand tight only, and check again for leaks.

WARNING! DO NOT hand wash or brush filter to reclaim for further use. Check flow indicator for damage.

8.2.3. Coalescing Filter

The unit has a screw on/off bowl housing the replaceable element. The element must be replaced if there is more than 10psi

pressure differential, or the element has become saturated. To do so, disconnected air supply, unscrew bowl, unscrew the element

and discard. Fit new element by screwing hand-tight only and check for leaks. The bowl should be cleaned with soapy water

and thoroughly dried before replacing. If the bowl is scratched, pitted, or discoloured fit a new bowl.

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to reclaim the filter for further use, either by hand washing or brushing.

8.3. Recommended Cleaning Agents.

a) Mild liquid soap solution.

b) Anti-static cloth for goggle or visor protection.

c) Suitable disinfectant.

8. MAINTENANCE

7.1. Fasten belt around the waist with the preset regulator situated in the small of the back.

7.2. Place the mask on the head and check height setting. Ensure head band is not too low on the brow. If necessary adjust crown

strap until correct height adjustment is achieved. With mask on head turn adjuster knob to obtain a firm and comfortable fit.

Any condensation must be removed before fitting the mask.

7.3. Connect compressed air supply hose to the preset regulator. If vibration occurs upon connection, decouple and re-connect slowly.

7.4. Connect the spray gun hose to the supply hose if required.

7.5. When walking, the trailing leader hose should be grasped firmly in one hand to prevent the hose connector, or the preset

regulator from being pulled.

7.6.Warning: the mask is equipped with a warning whistle which sounds if the air pressure becomes too low to give adequate protection.

7.6.1. If the whistle sounds, leave the contaminated area immediately.

7.6.2. Remove the headset and increase the supply pressure.

7.6.3. Refit the mask and check; if the whistle still sounds increase the pressure further and repeat 7.6.2.

7.7. See HSE Practical Guide for users of respiratory protective equipment.

WARNING: Only when the equipment is fitted and worn correctly as described below will it provide the prescribed protection.

8.1. Cleaning

The apparatus should be washed with a mild soap solution, wiped clean with a clean damp cloth and allow to dry.
