1. General
Autofl ow is a respirator system designed to supply fi ltered air for use in dangerous environments.
o
The device consists of a waist-mounted, battery-driven blower and two fi lters.
o
Air is drawn through the fi lters by an electronically-controlled fan and led through the breathing
o
hose into the facepiece.
2. Limitations of use
2.1 The fi ltering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown. In case of
doubt, isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the atmosphere must be
used.
2.2 The fi ltering device must not be used in confi ned spaces (e.g. cisterns, tunnels) because of the risk
of oxygen defi ciency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g. carbon dioxide).
2.3 The fi ltering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
2.4 Gas fi lters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle fi lters do not provide protection
against gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined fi lters.
2.5 Normal fi ltering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), CO
(carbon dioxide) and N
2.6 Particle fi lters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or
micro-organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
2.7 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user's beard, hair, spectacle frames
or clothing intrude into the faceseal.
2.8 When a breathing protector is used in explosive atmospheres, please follow the instructions given
for such areas.
2.9 The blower must be running while using the respirator. If the blower turns off by accident, the
device ceases to function as a respirator, and carbon dioxide levels may instantly rise. This is
considered an exceptional situation
2.10 At a very intense working pace, the pressure in the facepiece can change into negative pressure at
peak inhalation.
2.11 Protection levels may be reduced if wind speed exceeds 2 m/s.
2.12 Filters must not be fi tted directly to the the face shield or breathing hose.
2.13 Recommended operation conditions -10 °C...+30 °C, relative humidity (RH) under 75 %.
