2. Встановлення та монтаж

Proper fitting is crucial for effective respiratory protection. Follow these steps to correctly set up and wear your GVS Elipse P100 Respirator:

1. Inspect the Respirator: Before each use, check the mask body, straps, and filters for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. Ensure the filters are securely attached.
2. Регулювання ременів для голови: Hold the respirator with one hand and pull the head straps over your head with the other. Position the mask over your nose and mouth. The top strap should rest on the crown of your head, and the neck strap should rest around your neck below your ears.
3. Затягніть ремені: Pull the ends of the straps to tighten the mask until it feels secure but comfortable. Do not overtighten. The mask should fit snugly against your face without gaps.
4. Perform a Seal Check:
   • Перевірка позитивного тиску: Place the palm of your hand over the exhalation valve cover (front center of the mask) and gently exhale. The mask should slightly bulge outwards, and you should feel no air leaking from the edges.
   • Перевірка негативного тиску: Place the palms of your hands over the filter covers on both sides of the mask and gently inhale. The mask should pull inward towards your face, and you should feel no air leaking from the edges.
   If you detect any leaks during the seal check, readjust the straps and repeat the check. If leaks persist, the mask may be damaged or incorrectly sized.

Once properly fitted, the GVS Elipse P100 Respirator provides effective protection in environments containing dust and fumes. It is recommended for use in situations involving micro-organisms, marble, gypsum, titanium oxide, rock wool, wood, detergents, and various dusts that can cause lung disease, including asbestos, bauxite, coal, silica, and iron.

The mask's compact design allows for a full range of vision and does not interfere with other personal protective equipment (PPE) such as eye or ear protection. Its low breathing resistance minimizes user fatigue during extended periods of use.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your respirator. Filters should be replaced when breathing resistance becomes noticeably high or when odors are detected.

4.1 Заміна фільтра

1. Remove Used Filters: Gently twist and pull the filter covers to detach them from the mask body. Remove the old filter cartridges.
2. Вставити нові фільтри: Align the new filter cartridges with the openings on the mask body and push them firmly into place until they click. Ensure a secure fit.
3. Reattach Covers: Place the filter covers back over the new filters and twist to lock them into position.

4.2 Очищення та зберігання

• Прибирання: After each use, wipe the mask body (excluding filters) with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Do not submerge the entire mask or filters in water. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembly or storage.
• Зберігання: Store the respirator in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and contaminants. It is recommended to store it in a sealed bag or container to protect the filters from dust and moisture when not in use.

5. Вирішення проблем

If you encounter issues with your GVS Elipse P100 Respirator, consider the following:

• Утруднене дихання: This usually indicates that the filters are clogged and need to be replaced. Ensure the exhalation valve is not obstructed.
• Smelling Contaminants: If you can smell or taste contaminants while wearing the mask, the seal may be compromised, or the filters may be exhausted. Re-perform a seal check and replace filters if necessary.
• Дискомфорт або подразнення шкіри: Ensure the straps are not overtightened. The mask is made from hypoallergenic thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to minimize irritation, but prolonged use or improper fit can still cause discomfort. Adjust the fit or take breaks as needed.
• Fogging of Eyewear: Ensure the mask is properly sealed around the nose bridge. A good seal prevents exhaled air from escaping upwards and fogging glasses.
