Page 5: Safety Regulations
Safety Regulations Safety Regulations Correct Use The PremAire Combination utilises a lung governed demand valve (LGDV) mounted on the facepiece. This LGDV maintains the pressure within the facepiece while regulating and reducing the air supply (air quality in accordance with EN 12021) to a breathable pressure by using a diaphragm that senses the breathing demands of the user in a controlled feedback state. -

Page 9: Description
Description Description The PremAire Combination utilises a lung governed demand valve (LGDV) mounted on a facepiece. The LGDV mounted on the facepiece maintains the pressure within the facepiece while regulating and reducing the air supply to a breathable pressure. This is accomplished by using a diaphragm that senses the breathing demands of the user in a controlled feedback state. -
Page 10: Facepiece With Positive Pressure
Description Facepiece with Positive Pressure Mask with Positive Pressure See position 1a, Fig. 1. The face blank is made of a special soft rubber compound and assures a snug, comfortable fit and a tight seal. The inhalation air flows from the connector of the mask past the inhalation valve to the inside of the lens (thus keeping the lens largely fog-free) and then through the check valves into the nose cup. - Page 11 Description LGDV with T-piece Connection See position 2c, Fig. 1. The medium pressure hose is directly connected to the T-piece. The T-piece consists of a brass housing and a mounting support made of stainless steel. It has two plug nipples with non-return valves. The short plug nipple is used for the SCBA connection, the long plug nipple can be used for connecting dedicated to an external rescue air supply in “safe havens”.

Page 12: Automatic Switch Valve (Asv)
Description Automatic Switch Valve (ASV) See position 3 and 4, Fig. 1. The Automatic Switch Valve (ASV) switches automatically depending on the pressure of the supplied air between the compressed airline breathing apparatus and the SCBA/Escape device without interruption of the air supply. The ASV can provide air according to EN 12021 for the user from two different air sources (compressed air cylinder and e.g. -

Approval Declaration Approval Declaration PremAire Combination Device according to EN 137 (Typ 1) Only PremAire Combination devices with a warning signal and 2 l or 3 l cylinder are available with approval according to EN 137 (Typ 1). The EN 137 (Typ 1) devices includes as well EN 402 markings. -
Page 15: Use
The device may only be put into use in a fully maintained and tested condition. If malfunctions or defects are noticed prior to use, do not use the device under any circumstances. Get the device checked and repaired by an MSA authorised service centre. WARNING! When disconnecting the compressed air hose ends while they are under pressure the plug nipple side must be held firmly. -
Page 16: Preparations For Use (Shown With Mask)
Preparations for Use (shown with Mask) Before use, check the pressure gauge to ensure a fully pressurised cylinder. At room temperature the pressure value has to be minimum 200/300 bar. Check that the device is undamaged. Connect the combination valve assembly to the harness assembly by sliding the disc into the slot of the holster. - Page 17 Connect LGDV via plug nipple to the coupling of the ASV (only ASV configurations, not for T-piece). If the device is used for escape only: Connect LGDV to the facepiece. Switch off the positive pressure function of the LGDV with the operation button. Fully extend the shoulder strap and waist belt.

Page 18: Donning As Escape Device
To ensure safe and fast donning in an emergency, users have to train the donning procedure suffi- ciently. Grab shoulder strap. Check correct orientation of shoulder strap. The MSA label must not be upside down. Holster inside must be on the body side. In the dark, check by touch. Don shoulder strap. - Page 19 Don mask: (6) Spread the head harness with both hands. (7) Position the chin into the chin cup. (8) Pull the head straps over your head. Whilst doing so, ensure that the harness is sitting correctly and is not twisted. (9) If necessary adjust mask and tighten the straps in order as shown firmly and evenly.
- Page 20 (11) Make sure that chin and nose are properly covered by the facepiece. (12) Pull firmly on the head straps backwards on both sides to tighten as shown. (13) Pull firmly on the neck string until a tight fit at the neck is achieved.

Page 22: Donning As Working Device
Donning as Working device Grab shoulder strap. Check correct orientation of shoulder strap. The MSA label must not be upside down. Holster inside must be on the body side. In the dark, check by touch. Don shoulder strap. Don waist belt and close buckle. - Page 23 (11) Spread the head harness with both hands. (12) Position the chin into the chin cup.Pull the head straps over your head. Whilst doing so, ensure that the harness is sitting correctly and is not twisted. (13) If necessary adjust mask and tighten the straps in order as shown firmly and evenly.
- Page 24 (18) Secure neck string with the stopper. This ensures an additional neck seal of the hood. During use head straps and neck string can be read- justed to ensure a consistent proper fit of the mask- hood. In order to check the mask-to-face tightness a leak test must be performed before each use. WARNING! Ensure that the top of the mask seal only lies on the user's forehead.
- Page 25 (22) Insert the LGDV into the adapter of the mask until it distinctly snaps into place. (23) To activate, inhale once forcefully or push flush button. Device is ready for use. PremAire Combination...

Page 34: After Filling
Sight, Function and Tightness Check After filling close the coupling with the Quick-Fill protection cap. After Filling As a result of the air compression cylinders are getting hot during the filling cycle. Since composite materials are good insulators, the heat generated takes longer to dissipate on the cylinder surface. The temperatures may reach approx. - Page 35 Always use original parts from MSA.
