FILLING THE COMPRESSED AIR CYLINDER

4. Filling the Compressed Air Cylinder
Attention!
Only breathing air in accordance with EN 12021 or USCGA grade D
(or better) may be used.
Compressors and filling devices may only be operated by trained
personnel. All warning and safety instructions must be observed.
The filling of the compressed air cylinder should be undertaken as follows:
(1) Open the S-Cap-Air bag and remove the seal or its remains.
(2) Carefully remove the cylinder together with the hood connected by the
breathing tube.
If the S-Cap-Air has been used, the start-up pin will no longer be in the
cylinder valve and the valve will be open. In this case the pin will be located
on the unzipping loop of the bag. It has to be reinserted into the valve cap to
close the valve before the cylinder can be refilled.
If the S-Cap-Air has not been used, the start-up pin will still be in the cylinder
valve, with the unzipping loop connected and the valve will be closed. The
pin should be aligned parallel to the breathing tube connection. When filling,
check that the start-up pin securely seals the valve off. If necessary, screw
the cap down a little to tighten it.
(3) Remove the red protection cap from the filling connection.
(4) Connect the filling connection to a 200 bar filling connection and fill to
200 bar at 15ºC. Follow the compressor instructions and use the relevant
adaptor if required.
After filling, open the valve for a short period by unscrewing the cap and then
close it again until the flow of air stops.
