The oxygen content in the ambient air may not decline below
the following limit values:
17 %Vol. in Europe except for the Netherlands, Belgium, UK
19 %Vol. in the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Australia, New Zea-
land.
For other countries observe the national regulations!
–
The operating temperature is between –30 °C and 60 °C.
–
It must be ensured that the surrounding atmosphere cannot
change unfavourably.
–
Never enter unventilated tanks, pits, canals, etc. when wearing
filter apparatus sets.
–
The suitability of the respiratory filter must be checked: colour
code, marking, expiry date.
–
Check whether further personal protection equipment is re-
quired and whether such equipment is compatible.
–
Gas filters do not protect against particles! Particle filters do
not protect against gases and vapours! In case of doubt, use
combination filters!
–
Harmful gases that are heavier than air can accumulate in
higher concentrations at ground level.
–
Special application regulations (in Germany e.g. DGUV-R 112-
190) and limitations of use apply to organic compounds having
a low boiling point (boiling point ≤65 °C)!
–
Never use a damaged respiratory filter or a respiratory filter
with damaged bag.
–
Do not use respiratory filters which have passed their expiry
date (details on filter label).
–
Always replace both respiratory filters at the same time. Both
respiratory filters must always be from the same packing unit.
–
When continuing to use respiratory filters, ensure that contin-
ued use is permitted and that the remaining service life is ade-
quate.
–
When using particle filters against particles of radioactive ma-
terials, airborne biological substances and enzymes, check the
reusability; contact Würth if necessary.
–
Filter pairs weighing more than 300 g must only be used with
a full face mask (see Table 1).
