NOTICE

The overgloves do not have to be used. However, they
offer an increased cut resistance.
The chemical protective suit can be equipped either with socks
made from the same material as the suit or with boots. The
socks by themselves do not provide adequate protection from
mechanical stresses. The user must therefore also wear
suitable safety boots which are approved to EN ISO 20345.
A cuff prevents the penetration of substances between the
socks and safety boots.
The visor is provided with a scratch proof screen on the outside
of the suit.
The chemical protective suit features a pocket for radio units
and a push-to-talk button flap. The pocket is labelled with the
type ID.
The following optional components can be fitted to the
chemical protective suit:
Regulating valve PT 120 L or Air-Connect:

Ventilation unit for the connection of external air supply
sources to the cooling system inside the suit.
D-Connect:

Bracket for additional equipment (e.g. thermal imaging
camera, measuring devices, rescue loops), which can be
fastenend on the left or on the right hip.
Crotch strap:

for adjusting the length of the suit
Antifog visor in the suit:

prevents the visor from fogging.
Manometer bracket below the visor:
