Cylinder valves are exposed elements. A guard cap is not required. However, inspect the valve
visually after each use.
Official inspections by approved bodies:
In accordance with the regulations applicable to pressure devices, compressed-air cylinders for respiratory apparatuses are required to
undergo inspections by an approved body. The body marks the cylinder with the inspection date and its stamp using a durable marking
process.
Cleaning, disinfecting and drying
Cleaning
Any soiled and/or contaminated components of the breathing apparatus should be cleaned after each use.
Clean them with a sponge and warm water adding a cleaning agent (soapy solution) and rinse with a clean damp sponge.
Check that the cleaning agent chosen does not contain any corrosive components (for example:
organic solvents) likely to attack perishable components and that no liquid or dirt enters cavities
in the apparatus.
Do not introduce a compressed air jet into the cavities containing fragile components such as
diaphragms, springs, valves or seals, so as to not damage them.
Disinfecting
After cleaning, the respiratory mask must be disinfected by immersing it in a bath with a disinfecting agent. If you follow the concentration
and application time for the disinfectant stated in the instructions for using masks, there is no reason to be concerned about any adverse
effects on the different materials. After disinfecting, rinse immediately with clean water to remove any residues of the disinfectant
product.
Drying
After cleaning and disinfecting are completed, dry all the parts of the apparatus at a temperature from 5°C to 50°C. Avoid any form of
heat radiation (sunlight, oven or central heating). It is strongly advisable to clean pressure conducting parts (pressure reducer, air
pressure reducing system and coupling sensor) with a low-pressure jet of compressed air in order to eliminate any trace of humidity.
When using it in cold conditions, any moisture present in the demand valve can result in the formation of frost inside the
valve and consequently affect its operation.
It is essential to remove all traces of moisture inside the demand valve and the medium pressure hose.
The valve must also be dried after cleaning it.
Checks
The operation of the apparatus must be checked every time it is assembled/dismantled or if any spare parts are changed.
Checking or maintenance operations must be carried out by technicians authorised by HONEYWELL RESPIRATORY SAFETY
PRODUCTS, having an inspection bench, special tools and original HONEYWELL RESPIRATORY SAFETY PRODUCTS parts, as well
as the maintenance procedures.
Sealing test
•
Refer to the equivalent paragraph in the section 'Quick checks before use'.
Static overpressure test of the demand valve
•
Open the cylinder valve, refer to the equivalent paragraph in the section 'Quick checks before use'.
•
Connect the demand valve to the inspection bench.
•
An overpressure of about 3 mbar must appear in the connected integral mask.
Inspection of the cylinder pressure
•
Refer to the equivalent paragraph in the section 'Quick checks before use'.
Alarm device test
•
Refer to the equivalent paragraph in the section 'Quick checks before use'.
Storage
After they are cleaned and dried, compressed-air breathing apparatuses may be stored in a suitable cabinets or boxes.
Make sure that the apparatus is placed on the support plate and that the straps are not folded.
Compressed-air breathing apparatuses must be stored in a cool place. The storage area must be dry and free of any emission of gas or
fumes. Avoid exposure to direct and significant light or sunlight and keep away from sources of thermal radiation.
The recommended apparatus storage temperature must be b5°C and +45°C:
For special storage conditions (under outdoor shelters etc.), please contact our technical department.
