GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Intended Use
The 3M™ Portable Compressed Air Filter and Regulator Panel 256-02-01, with Carbon Monoxide
(CO) Monitor is intended to filter and regulate compressed air to be used with supplied air
respiratory protection systems. This panel will not remove carbon monoxide.
List of Warnings and Cautions within these
User Instructions
The 3M™
Portable Compressed Air Filter and Regulator Panel 256-02-01,
with Carbon
Monoxide (CO) Monitor is intended to filter and regulate compressed air to be used with
supplied air respiratory protection systems. This panel will not remove carbon monoxide.
Misuse may result in sickness or death.
To meet NIOSH requirement 42 CFR 84, subpart 84.150 for minimum and maximum airflow
(4-15 cfm, 113-425 lpm), the air control valves approved for use with the 3M respirators must
be operated within the supply pressure ranges and hose lengths stated in their
User Instructions.
Failure to do so may adversely affect respirator performance and result in sickness
or death.
You must comply with revised OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.134, which states that, “Airline
couplings shall be incompatible with outlets for other gas systems to prevent inadvertent
servicing of airline respirators with nonrespirable gases or oxygen.” In Canada, refer to the
requirements of CSA standard Z180.1.
Failure to do so may result in sickness or death.
Your employer must provide breathing air that meets at least the requirements of the
specification for Grade D breathing air, as described in the Compressed Gas Association
Commodity Specification G-7.1-1997 in the United States. In Canada refer to CSA standard
Z180.1 for the quality of compressed breathing air.
Failure to do so may result in sickness
or death.
There is no assurance that by using the 3M™ Portable Compressed Air Filter and Regulator
Panel 256-02-01, with Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor the filtered compressed air will meet
the requirements of Grade D breathing air. In Canada, refer to the requirements of CSA
standard Z180.1.
The line pressure must be kept within safe limits, 125 psig (8.75 kg/cm
2
) maximum. Dirt, oil
and water, unless trapped or filtered out, may continue downstream in concentrated form and
adversely affect the performance of the respirator and
may result in sickness or death.
The 3M™ Portable Compressed Air Filter and Regulator Panel 256-02-01, with CO 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 panel should not be used in an Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health atmosphere
(IDLH) unless it is used in conjunction with a back-up escape system or a Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus/Supplied Air Respirator (SCBA/SAR), where applicable.
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.
