3 POSITIVE PRESSURE MODE
INSPIRE-H (WITH HATCH)
Positive pressure is activated by closing the ambient air hatch by pushing the
exhalation valve cover against the face mask [Fig. 2].
To shut off positive pressure and breathe ambient air, simultaneously press down the
indicator arm and push the exhalation valve cover away from the face mask [Fig.
3] or disconnect the breathing valve from the face mask [Fig. 4 and Fig. 5]. It is
recommended to use the ambient air hatch which is easy and minimizes the risk of
fog on the visor.
The purge button [Fig. 6] can be pressed to increase the air flow and to activate the
positive pressure. To remove fog from the visor - flush it with air by pressing the purge
button for a couple of seconds.
INSPIRE-A (WITHOUT HATCH)
Positive pressure is automatically activated when connecting the breathing valve to the
face mask [Fig. 4].
To shut off positive pressure and breathe ambient air, disconnect the breathing valve
from the face mask [Fig. 4 and Fig. 5].
The purge button [Fig. 6] can be pressed to increase the air flow and to activate the
positive pressure. To remove fog from the visor - flush it with air by pressing the purge
button for a couple of seconds.
4 CONNECTING THE BREATHING VALVE
1. Check that the breathing hose is securely connected to the breathing valve and
to the quick coupling on the supply hose (if fitted).
2. Close the hatch (only applicable on Inspire-H face masks).
3. Push the breathing valve into the mask until it snaps into the locked position [Fig. 4].
