4. OPERATING PARAMETERS
4.1. Air Quality:
The wall mounted coalescing filter SSP21X used in conjunction with the belt mounted carbon filter will give breathing quality air to if the correct
maintenance and servicing instructions are followed (Part 8). These standards state that air supply for breathing should NOT contain
impurities in excess of:
Carbon Monoxide....5ppm (5.5mg/m 3 )
Note: Air should be free of odour and contamination. We recommend fitting a pre-filter before the coalescing filter.
WARNING! This filter does not remove Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide or other toxic gases!
4.2. Compressed Air Supply Hose:
The approval granted for this equipment includes the compressed air supply hose; it is therefore essential that the equipment is used only with
listed hoses (see parts list).
4.3. Air Supply Pressure:
The SSP201K Kit is designed to operate with a compressed air supply pressure of 2-7bar (30-100psi), measured at the input to the supply
hose. The mask requires a minimum supply of 150ltr/min (5.4cfm) and if used with a spray gun a minimum of 620ltr/min (21cfm) must be
available at 6bar (90psi).
WARNING REMINDER!
The kit is designed for use against contaminants which are not immediately dangerous to life and health, or where self contained breathing
apparatus is not essential. It is possible that, at very high work rates, the air pressure within the mask may momentarily become
negative as the user breathes in. If this happens, seek technical advice. The kit is designed for use with compressed air only,
(compressed oxygen enriched air sources must not be used). Should there be any doubt about the suitability of the equipment for the work
at hand, consult your supplier. If the air supply ceases or is significantly reduced, immediately withdraw from the contaminated atmosphere
and check the system for faults.
5. WORK AREA
When setting up to work with the kit check:
5.1.
That it is possible to measure the air supply pressure.
5.2.
That the compressed air supply will deliver within the required pressure range (see 4.4).
5.3.
That the air supply is to breathable standard (see 4.1).
5.4.
That there is sufficient length of compressed air supply hose for the operator to carry out the work in hand and to enter and leave the
work area without removing the protective equipment.
6. EQUIPMENT
6.1. Before each use check that:
6.1.1.
Apparatus is complete and in good condition, all connections are tight and there are no air leaks. DO NOT use if damaged!
6.1.2.
The coalescing filter is clean.
6.1.3.
The compressed air supply hose is in good condition and the connections are tight.
6.1.4.
The preset regulator and filter element are clean, the filter shows no signs of changing colour from white to pink and there are
no traces of odour in the air downstream of the filter. Change filter if necessary.
6.1.5.
The harness, brow guard, skirt and visor are clean and show no signs of deterioration or damage. Any condensation must
be removed before putting the mask on.
6.1.6.
The visor supply hose is firmly connected to the waist belt assembly.
6.1.7.
The breathing hose assembly is in good condition and all connections are tight.
6.1.8.
Belt is correctly threaded through the bracket to position regulator in the small of the back.
6.1.9.
The buckle locks securely.
6.1.10.
The paint spray connector shuts off when the spray gun is not attached.
6.2. Flow Check
Note:
The fixed regulator is factory set and will give the correct air flow so long as an approved length of compressed air supply hose
is being used and the supply pressure to the hose is as specified.
