9.1.
DSG and MASS Pressure Reducer
9.1.1 Warning signal
Connect lung governed demand valve to connector.
Connect the compressed air supply hose to the connector and to the pressure reducer.
Open the cylinder valve(s).
Cylinder pressure indicated on the pressure gauge must be at least 120 bar.
Close the cylinder valve(s) again.
Carefully activate the flushing function of the lung governed demand valve until air flows out.
Watch the high pressure gauge, the warning signal must be activated by 30 bar minimum.
9.1.2 High Pressure Seal Rings
Check the condition of the O-rings at the cylinder connection (visual inspection) before connecting the compressed air
cylinder, replace if necessary. O-ring replacement is recommended at least once every 12 months. .
9.1.3 General Overhaul
The six-year general overhaul, or repairs in the event of a functional fault, should be performed only by the
manufacturer or by a person authorised by MSA. All rubber components and other parts subject to wear are
replaced. The apparatus is then readjusted and sealed.
9.2.
Air-tightness of High and Medium Pressure Components before use
9.2.1 Apparatus Supplied from a Compressed Air Cylinder
Connect the compressed air supply hose to adapter and pressure reducer.
Open the cylinder valve(s).
The cylinder pressure must be at least 270 bar with 300 bar cylinders and at least 180 bar with 200 bar
cylinders.
Close the cylinder valve(s). Pressure must not drop by more than 10 bar within one minute.
9.2.2 Apparatus Supplied from a Breathable Air Network
Connect the compressed air supply hose to adapter and pressure reducer and tap point in the breathable air
network.
Open the shut-off valve at the tap point in the breathable air network.
Medium pressure must be at the values indicated in paragraphs 5.2.1/5.2.2.
Close the shut-off valve. Pressure drops of 1 bar max. within one minute are permissible.
