Set Up Procedures

The 3M filter and regulator panel, with CO filtration when used in accordance with the following
instructions, will remove or reduce selected contaminants from compressed air lines. (Fig. 4)
W WARNING
The 3M™ Portable Compressed Air Filter and Regulator Panel 256-02-00, with Carbon
Monoxide Filtration and Monitor should not be used when the air entering the filter is oxygen
deficient. These units will not increase the oxygen content of oxygen deficient air. Use with
oxygen deficient air may result in sickness or death.
The 3M filter and regulator panel with CO filtration will remove approximately 60% of the carbon
monoxide from the air source.
The filter and regulator panel can be wall mounted right in the case. Simply drill holes in the back
of case to allow for installation of screws or bolts. Use washers on the screws or bolts to prevent
the screws from pulling out from the unit.
The user's supply line to the inlet of the filter and regulator panel should be a minimum of
1/2" I.D. The air supply entering the filter and regulator panel should meet the following criteria
to insure maximum efficiency of the filter system:
– Temperature range should be 68-150°F (20-65°C)
– Large amounts of aerosols of oil, water, and other liquids should be removed prior to entering
the filter and regulator panel (greater than 50 ppm - oil and water aerosols plus solids).
– The relative humidity of the incoming air should be greater than 20% and less than 70%.
Avoid installing the filter and regulator panel after a desiccant dryer.
8
Conditioning equipment may be necessary prior to the filter and regulator panel to control the air
temperature and bulk liquid removal.
The filter and regulator panel must be installed a minimum of 25 feet away from the compressor.
The actual distance required from the compressor shall be determined by the temperature of the
air. The air supply temperature at the filter should be 68-150°F (20-65°C) for maximum
efficiency. Conditioning equipment may be necessary, prior to the filter, to achieve this
temperature range. (Fig. 4)
The filter and regulator panel is used to adjust the air pressure supplied to the air control devices
of a respiratory protection system. Consult instructions on your particular air control device for
pressure requirements.
The filter and regulator panel comes with a 3M™ Carbon Monoxide Monitor designed to
provide continuous, direct read CO monitoring. The carbon monoxide monitor in the filter and
regulator panel is CSA certified intrinsically safe for Class 1, Div. I, Groups A, B, C & D
Hazardous Locations when utilizing the two 9 volt batteries to power the monitor. See the
carbon monoxide monitor User Instructions. If the optional AC power adapter is used, the
power cable can be routed out through an existing vent hole or an additional hole can be drilled
for this cord.
The filter and regulator panel with CO filtration is supplied with an industrial interchange plug
(3/8" body size, 3/8" MPT) at the inlet and four (4) industrial interchange quick-disconnects
(1/4" body size, 3/8" MPT) at the outlet.
The filter cartridges have an average life expectancy of one (1) to two (2) months (or
approximately 160-320 hours, depending on the quality of the air in your compressed air lines)
under normal conditions. The frequency of filter change will depend on the quality of the
incoming compressed air and how much the panel is used. All three (3) filters should be
changed at the same time.
W WARNING
The intrinsic safety of the carbon monoxide monitor is voided when remote alarm is used.
The intrinsic safety of the carbon monoxide monitor is voided when the 110-120 volt AC
adapter is used.
Carbon monoxide monitor will alarm if carbon monoxide concentrations exceed the preset level
(10 ppm USA; 5 ppm Canada). If alarm should sound, remove respirator or activate SCBA and
immediately move to a safe, breathable atmosphere. Have the proper qualified personnel
examine the equipment and make the appropriate corrections before using again. Failure to do
so may result in sickness or death.
The carbon monoxide alarm will sound to alert the operator that a problem has developed. The
monitor alarm will sound due to one or more of the following conditions:
1. Filter cartridge life is exhausted. Carbon monoxide levels exceeding a predetermined alarm
set level are passing through the 3M filter and regulator panel with CO filtration. To correct
the condition, replace all three (3) filter cartridges as outlined in these instructions. Flush
system with compressed air for a minimum of five (5) minutes and calibrate the Carbon
Monoxide as outlined in the monitor's User Instructions.
2. Monitor is out of calibration. Calibrate per the carbon monoxide monitor User Instructions.
3. Monitor sensor may be bad. See carbon monoxide monitor User Instructions for
replacement procedure.
