012584 NBC 95 and bottle (equipped with drinking device and speech diaphragm)

Model 012583: EC Type-examined by BGIA (Berufsgenossenschaftliches Institut für Arbeitssicher-

heit), D-53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany, ID: 0121.

1. General

The Mask NBC 95 is designed to protect the respiratory system and face against hazardous gases
and particles.
Use as filter mask together with a Pro2000 filter (gas, particle or combined filters). The filters are
thread filters conforming to the European standard EN 148-1.
The filter is selected according to the type of hazard present.

2. Limitations of use

2.1 The filtering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown. In case
of doubt, isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the atmosphere must
be used.
2.2 The filtering device must not be used in confined spaces (e.g. cisterns, tanks) because of the
risk of oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g. carbon dioxide).
2.3 The filtering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
2.4 Gas filters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide protection
against gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filters.
2.5 Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon monoxide),
CO2 (carbon dioxide) and N2 (nitrogen).
2.6 Particle filters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or
micro-organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
2.7 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user’s beard, hair, spectacle
frames or clothing intrude into the faceseal. With the NBC 95 one can use special spectacles
(see 012551 spectacle frame).
2.8 When a breathing protector is used in explosive atmospheres, please follow the instructions
given for such areas.
2.9 Gas filters shall be replaced when the user begins to sense odour, taste or irritation. Filters
used against detrimental gases that do not display any significant indications, require special
regulations for the duration of use and correct usage.
Particle filters must be replaced at the latest when breathing resistance becomes too high.
2.10 The weight of filter used with a full face mask shall not exceed 500 g. The NBC 95 is used with
one filter only.

Device with combined filter The specified multiples of threshold value for the gas or particle
filters are given separately, but in all cases the lowest value applies
*) Provided that the maximum permissible detrimental gas concentration for the gas filter is not exceeded. For
non-powered devices with gas filter, concentration must not exceed 0.1 vol.% in gas filter class 1 and 0.5 vol.%
in gas filter class 2 and 1.0 vol.% in gas filter class 3.
**) If national guidelines exist: in all cases the lowest value applies.

4. Preparations for use, and Donning

Check before use

intactness of facepiece, rubber parts and lenses
head harness condition and elasticity
that exhalation valve is in place and that its cover is properly fastened
that inh. and exh. valves function properly
that the filter is correct for the intended use. Filter type and class are evident from the marking.
that storage period of the filter has not been exceeded
filter condition and intactness. Shake the filter to ensure that there are no loose
components/contents. The filter shall be replaced if it has been exposed to strong press or
impact. It may be damaged.
 8

4.1 Fitting of the filter: Remove eventual safety plugs from the filter. Screw the filter tightly in the
connector of the mask (=inh. valve body).
4.2 When needed, connect the spectacles to the inner mask and adjust their position.
4.3 A sweat band is recommended to control excessive hair.
4.4 Loosen the head harness straps.
4.5 Locate the chin pocket of the mask properly on the chin and pull the head harness over the
head.

4.6 Check that the chin is in the chin pocket. Tighten the straps. Start with neck straps, pull backwards
(not outwards). Then adjust the temple straps and finally the upper strap. The cradle/net lies
centered on the back of the head.
Check that the face seal touches the skin all around, especially under the chin pocket. Try moving
the mask sideways to verify that there is no slippage.

4.7 Check the tightness of the mask (two alternative methods):

1) Cover the exhalation opening of the mask with your hand. Exhale gently to create overpressure.
There must be no leakage between the face and the face seal.
2) Cover the filter opening with your hand. Inhale to make the mask press onto your face.
If you fail to get a tight fit (=potential leakage), adjust the head harness and filter, or use another
size of the mask.

4.8 Using the drinking device

Use water or clear liquids (=avoid non-soluble particles).
Open the lids of the drink device and the bottle, insert the nozzle into the drinking device.
Take the mouth piece in the mouth and press it with the teeth to make water pass through.
o The bottle cap can also be connected to a standard PET bottle (thread Ø 28 mm).

5. Maintenance and storage

5.1 Test for function and leak tightness

If components have been replaced (lenses, valve discs or speech diaphragm), a test for function and
leak-tightness must be carried out with an appropriate test device (e.g. Pro-Tester, code 141080).
The test is also done in case of a mask stored unused for a longer period, and at least once a year.

Check also that the faceblank has maintained its shape, the head harness is reasonably elastic, the
lenses and the faceseal are undamaged, and that the valve discs and the speech diaphragm’s O-ring
are good and well in position. Damage must be repaired.

5.2 Replacing the lenses

Replacing the drinking device

Replacing is done by the manufacturer or an authorized representative.

5.3 Replacing the exhalation valve disc

Pull out the valve cover (Fig. A).
Separate the valve assembly from the valve cover and pinch on the edge of the disc (Fig. B).
Replace the disc. Press lightly on the tip of the disc to secure a good fit (Fig. C).
 9

5.4 Replacing the inhalation valve discs

Remove the rubber valve seat by pushing it with a finger from the inside of the mask (Fig. D).
Replace the disc (pass the tail through the central hole to the inside of the mask) (Fig. E).
Put the valve seat back to the bottom of the valve body (Fig. F). Do not press too tight (the disc
comes immobilised) because the disc must be free to move.
The valve discs of the inner mask are replaced similarly. Make sure that the rubber edge of the
inner mask comes in the valve seat groove.

5.5 Replacing the inner mask

Remove first the inhalation valve seat by pushing it with a finger from the inside of the mask (Fig.
D).
If equipped with drinking device: remove the mouth piece (Fig G).
Gently pry open the hole on the fastening ring of the inner mask, using a screwdriver (via the inh.
valve body opening) until the fastening ring comes off (Fig. H).
Remove the inner mask (Fig. J).
When assembling, insert the notch of the fastening ring into the tip of the exh. valve (Fig. K) and
press the inner mask into place.

5.6 Cleaning
Mask
Remove the filter, valves/discs, drinking device, spectacle frame, speech diaphragm and inner
mask.
Clean the facepiece and components with a damp cloth or sponge, using lukewarm water and
mild detergent (neutral, pH 6-8) (e.g. washing-up liquid). A brush can be used for stubborn dirt
(be careful not to scratch the lenses).
Do not use solvents (e.g. alcohol, acetone, turpentine), hot water or bleaching agents
(perborate, percarbonate).
Drinking device
Remove the mouth piece and wash it separately.
Put water in a bottle. Connect the bottle to the drinking device. Squeeze the bottle and let water
pass through the drinking device.
Replace the mouth piece when the mask is given to another user.

5.7 Disinfection
After cleaning, disinfect the inside/faceseal with a disinfection solution (e.g. Scott Trigene), rinse and
allow to dry. Finally, reassemble the mask.

5.8 Storage
The mask should be stored carefully cleaned, disinfected and ready for use. Keep the mask
protected from sunlight, grease and oil. The store should be dry and cool. A properly stored,
unused mask stays in good condition for a long storage period.
The components should not be more than 12 years old.
Before use, the mask must undergo a function test, see Table.
After use, an opened filter must be sealed tightly if it is to be reused, but it must be replaced
within 6 months at the latest.

5.9 Disposal
Masks (without filters) are coarse waste. A very contaminated mask and used filters are special
refuse and shall be disposed of according to the filtered substances (gases or particles).
