PREPARATION AND SETUP
MEER is packaged fully assembled and ready to use after it has been filled with air.
Before using, it is very important to carefully read and understand the procedures
outlined in this manual.
GENERAL FILLING PROCEDURES
NOTE: The average duration of air supply listed in the Technical Specifications
section of this manual is based upon the maximum fill pressure as marked
on the cylinder. It is strongly recommended that the cylinder be filled to its
maximum fill pressure (cold fill), in order to provide maximum breathing volume.
WARNING:
1. Before attempting to fill MEER, ensure that the fill adapter and first stage are
completely dry – especially in the area surrounding the fill port.
2. MEER is configured with a 300 bar cylinder. Examine the cylinder markings to
determine the maximum fill pressure. Cylinders must have a current visual inspection
and hydrostatic test date (Fig. 2)
NOTE: Ensure hydrostatic retesting and visual inspection of cylinders is
carried out in accordance with local regulatory requirements (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Cylinders have a service life of 15 years. This is indicated by the end
of life date marked on the cylinder label (Fig. 2).

WARNING:
that it is assembled with a non standard cylinder rated for a different fill
pressure. Doing so may result in rupture or explosion in the event of fire
or overfilling. Instead, immediately return MEER to a manufacturer trained
service technician and do not use under any circumstances.
Only use compressed gas that is in accordance with EN12021.
