HONEYWELL RESPIRATORY SAFETY PRODUCTS is continuously endeavouring to improve all its
products and the equipment supplied is subject to change without notice. Consequently, the information,
illustrations and descriptions provided in this document may not be used as a reason to demand the
replacement of equipment.
Being in possession of these instructions does not automatically authorise the holder to use breathing
device; only appropriate training will enable safety procedures to be followed. HONEYWELL
RESPIRATORY SAFETY PRODUCTS accepts no liability if the recommendations contained in this
document are not followed.
These instructions are only intended for use with the CE certified EVAMASQUE filtering devices for self-rescue in
compliance with the DIN Standard n° 58647-7 (Filtering devices for self-rescue - Requirements, testing, marking).
The EVAMASQUE filtering escape device must only be used in accordance with the instructions given here.
Incorrect use might result in danger to life or limb.
PROTECTION AND USAGE
EVAMASQUE must be used only for self-rescue in escape situations and should not be used for a continuous
period exceeding 15 minutes.
It is manufactured in strict compliance with DIN standard n° 58647-7 for class duration of 15 minutes (at nominal
toxic concentration of 0.25% by volume), when used with the HONEYWELL filter ABEK to protect against
inhalation of organic, inorganic gases and vapours, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen chloride and other acid gases,
ammonia and organic ammonium compounds).
This period may be reduced in the case of high concentrations, or if low boiling point chemicals are present.
The filters are non-reusable.
Storage
Store the escape device in its original packaging or in a sealed container so that it is protected from sun
•
and dust.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Storing time with the same filter = 4 years (refer to the date shown on the 4-color seal label on the side of
•
the protective shell).
• Maximum service life of the product = 12 years (will require 2 filter changes if the EVAMASQUE is never
used, see the Maintenance instructions).
Pre-use checks
Make sure that the protective shell is not damaged.
•
Clean the apparatus with damp soapy chiffon if necessary (do not put the EVAMASQUE under running
•
water).
• Carefully dry the device before putting it back to storage.
Unpacking instructions
Remove the adhesive tape sealing the EVAMASQUE (Fig. 1)
•
• Carefully remove the filtering escape device from the packaging (Fig. 2)
Put on the filtering escape device
1. Set the wider part of the faceblank under the chin (Fig. 3).
2. Set the strap above the ears so that it is on the top of the head (Fig. 4).
The filtering escape device must not be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres, in keeping with
•
applicable national standards.
The filtering escape device is a half mask and therefore does not provide protection to the eyes and
•
skin which may be affected by concentrations of ammonia and ammonium compounds in much
lower concentrations than specified in the DIN standard n° 58647-7.
Must not be used for protection against carbon monoxide.
•
Do not use the filtering escape device if an effective face seal cannot be achieved. Refer to use
•
instructions.
