2 Application and Limitations
2.1 General description
The Apollo 100 CE blast helmet was developed especially for use in blasting operations and is approved
in accordance with DIN EN 14594:2018 (and MSHA-NIOSH).
2.2 Restrictions and information in acc. with DIN EN 14594:2018
a) The helmet enables the wearer to be supplied with breathable air, which must comply with EN
12021. The air is fed at a continuous flow rate to a mask via a breathing line. The equipment has
an adjustable air flow valve that is worn by the operator. An air supply line links the equipment
wearer with the air supply.
b) Excess and exhaled air is released to the ambient atmosphere.
The following temperatures are prescribed for:
Storage:
0°C to +30°C
Operation:
-6°C to +40°C
Transport and handling:
-20°C to +50°C
c) The length of the line between the filter and the control valve on the helmet must not exceed 40
m. We sell the line in pre-cut lengths of 5, 10, 20 and 40 m. A maximum of three lines can be
connected.
d) The supplied air must have a pressure between 5 and 8 bar. This pressure can be ensured by
using our CPF 20 air filter with integrated pressure regulator.
e) The pressure in the air supply line must not exceed 8 bar.
f) To ensure that the operator is supplied with sufficient oxygen, the air flow should be between 160
l/min and 200 l/min. The air indicator will be activated by the minimum amount, i.e. the flag will be
retracted.
