USE
The term „Particle lter“ means that it contains particle lter element
only. The lter is supplied with a thread connection Rd 40x1/7´´ (EN 148-
1: 2019) or with OZ 40x4 (GOST 8762-75).
THE P3 R PARTICLE FILTER
type P3 R in combination with a suitable chemical protective mask or lter
aid with auxiliary ventilation attached to a helmet or hood, the P3 R lter
forms a perfect protection of the individual against harmful solid and liquid
particles, biologically solid and liquid aerosols, radioactive aerosols, dusts,
bacteria and viruses. The lter meets the test against dolomite dust.
ATTENTION!
The lter must not be used:
- against gases
- against carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2),
nitrous oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O)
- in an explosive atmosphere,
- in an environment with an oxygen volume (O2) less than 17%
ATTENTION!
The real time of use of the lter cannot be determined in advance
due to a number of factors that affect it. These include, in particular,
the type and concentration of pollutants, humidity, temperature, flow
and pulmonary ventilation of the user (working intensity).
PRINCIPLES FOR USING THE FILTER
1. The user should know the type of pollutants and their concentration
which the lter intends to protect against.
2. Visually inspect the lter before using it. The lter must not be me-
chanically damaged.
3. Before opening the protective cover of the lter, check that the thread
marking corresponds to the thread on the mask to which it is to be
attached.
4. After opening the protective cover and before using the lter, remove
the thread cover and the inlet to the lter.
5. Screw the lter into the mask and, after tting it, check the tightness
of the threaded connection by clogging the lter inlet with your
hands. When inhaling, the mask must not be sucked in.
6. The lter can be used in the temperature range from - 30 ˚C to + 70 ˚C.
ATTENTION!
If the user detects an increase in respiratory resistance during
use, the lter must be replaced.
The lter complies
with requirements
of the standards
and relugations:

MAINTENANCE AND REPEATED USE OF FILTERS
For dust particles
The lter can be used repeatedly. In this case, close the lter with caps
after use to prevent contamination of the surrounding area. Thoroughly
clean the lter or disinfect its surface, place it in its original package and
store it in a safe place.
For bacteria and viruses
The lter can be used repeatedly. The lter must be heat sterilized after
each use at 75 °C for 60 minutes. The maximum amount of sterilization
cycles is 12. Close the lter with caps after use to prevent contamination
of the surrounding area. Thoroughly clean the lter or disinfect its surfa-
ce, place it in its original package and store it in a safe place.
WARRANTY
The manufacturer guarantees the full functional performance of the l-
ter in undamaged packaging and in compliance with the storage conditi-
ons until the date stated on the lter label.
STORAGE
The lter must be stored under the prescribed conditions at a tempera-
ture from -10 °C to + 50 °C and a relative humidity of 0–95 % RH for a
maximum of 10 years.
ATTENTION!
Improper storage and/or broken protective packaging may reduce
the protective capacity or cause irreversible damage to the lter.
DISPOSAL
Waste generated before and after the use of protective lters or after the
end of product life must be disposed of in a manner as environmentally
friendly as possible, recycled to the largest possible extent and disposal
must be in accordance with the requirements of the legislation - EN ISO
14001:2016 Environmental management or legislation and the legislati-
on of the user country.
