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
130 l/min and 190 l/min. The air indicator will be activated by the minimum amount, i.e. the flag
will be retracted.
g)
Warning:
The helmet is intended for use in an atmosphere that does not represent an imminent
danger to human life or health and contains at least 19.5 % by volume oxygen. The operator
should be able to escape from this atmosphere without needing to use the helmet.
The Apollo 600CE helmet will not provide adequate protection in certain highly toxic atmos-
pheres caused by e.g. lead-contaminated dust from removing lead-based paints or other paints,
asbestos, heavy metals etc.
Lead poisoning may cause death. The maximum workplace concentration has been defined as
0.1 mg/m³ of air (TRGS 900). For this reason, the blasting contractor must always determine
which type of paint is to be removed and, if necessary, ensure that operators wear a blast hood
or helmet that is approved for use with these substances or an additional respirator. In accord-
ance with DGUV Regulation 112-190, Class 4B blast protection equipment can be used at up to
500 times the threshold value.
h)
Warning:
During a period of very high use, peak respiration may produce negative pressure in
the helmet.
i)
Warning:
The air supply must comply with EN 12021.
j)
Warning:
The moisture content in the breathing air must be kept within the limits specified in EN
12021 to prevent the supplied air respirator with continuous air flow from freezing. If the equip-
ment is used at a temperature below 4°C, the moisture content must be limited to prevent freez-
ing.
k)
Warning:
The equipment must not be operated with pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air.
l)
Warning:
Each operator connected to the air supply system must check that the capacity of the
system is adequate as described in the information provided by Clemco.
m) It is imperative that operators follow the instructions for donning the equipment as provided by
Clemco. These are contained in Sections 4 (Preparation) and 6 (Operation) of this owner's man-
ual.
n) The air supply line is not resistant to contact with hot surfaces or boiling water and is therefore
not labelled accordingly.
o) The air supply line is not antistatic and is therefore not labelled accordingly.
p) Do not use aggressive chemicals or solvents to clean the equipment. This may irritate or harm
the operator and alter the properties of the material used. Please also consult the instructions
concerning cleaning products and disinfectants in Section 9 of this owner’s manual.
