C40 CLIMATE CONTROL

AIR SOURCE, FITTINGS, AND PRESSURE

AIR SOURCE
Supplied Air
Locate the air source in a clean air environment, always use a filter on the inlet of your air
source. Make sure the air source is somewhere that vehicles, forklifts, and other machinery
are not running near the air inlet, as this will cause carbon monoxide to be drawn into your
air supply. Always use suitable after coolers/dryers with filters and carbon monoxide alarms
to ensure clean breathable air is supplied at all times. A Radex
GX4 Gas Monitor (08-400) are recommended. The air should be regularly sampled to ensure
®
that it meets EN 12021 and AS/NZS 1715 requirements.
AIR QUALITY
This respirator must be supplied with clean breathable air at all times. Breathable air must at least

contaminants. A carbon monoxide monitor must be used at all times.
DANGER
using the respirator. This apparatus is not designed for use with mobile air supply systems i.e.
cylinders. Connecting the supply hose to a non-breathable air source will result in serious injury or
death.
BREATHING AIR SUPPLY HOSES AND FITTINGS
RPB air supply hoses and fittings must be used between the point of attachment and the
®
respirator breathing air connection at the wearer's belt. The hose sections must be within the
correct length and the amount of sections must be within the number specified in the breathing
air pressure table in the head-top instruction manual.
BREATHING AIR PRESSURE
The air pressure must be continually monitored at the point of attachment. Air pressure must be
read from a reliable pressure gauge whilst the respirator has air flowing through it.
