1. foreword
This operating manual describes the operati-
on of the
Labtec ECO
series of test instru-
ments.
Labtec test devices are professional tools
that require comprehensive respiratory pro-
tection expertise, e.g. by completing training
as a respirator maintenance technician, to
ensure proper operation and correct measu-
rement.
A prerequisite for proper operation of the de-
vice is that the device is operated and used
exclusively in accordance with these opera-
ting instructions. Labtec is not liable for per-
sonal injury or damage to property or conse-
quential damage of any kind if the device is
used in a manner other than that described
in this manual. The same applies to the ac-
ceptance of any warranty and guarantee
claims.
Otherwise, the terms of sale and delivery as
well as the warranty and guarantee conditi-
ons of Labtec GmbH apply, which are not
extended in any way by these instructions.
2. safety instructions
Each Labtec test device requires device
-
specific instruction by an authorized Labtec
employee or training partner.
The device may only be operated by instruc-
ted and authorized personnel.
The device may only be serviced and re-
paired by trained and certified Labtec service
technicians. Only original spare parts and
accessories must be used.
The device may only be opened by a Labtec
service technician or, if expressly requested,
under instruction by a Labtec employee.
To ensure proper functioning of the device
and thus a correct measurement result, the
device must be serviced at least once a year
by a trained and certified Labtec service
technician and tested and calibrated by him
or her using a Labtec calibration device.
The list of current, certified employees, trai-
ning partners and service technicians is up-
dated daily and is available from Labtec or
on the Labtec homepage.
Labtec devices are partly operated with bre-
athing air in the high pressure range of up to
400bar. Operating a device under high pres-
sure requires the greatest care. Before
connecting and disconnecting a test item /
breathing apparatus, the test bench must al-
ways be completely depressurized and air
supply lines, especially the main valve,
closed.
The device connection must always be che-
cked. Devices must always be connected
completely correctly. When connecting to the
high pressure device connection, the device
thread must be completely screwed to the
internal thread of the device connection.
Before switching off the test device electri-
cally, the test bench must first be completely
depressurized and vented and then all
connected devices and any full face masks
must be removed.
Never test dirty demand valves or masks on
the test head. There is a risk of dust particles
getting into the measuring system, which
can impair the function.
When the test stand is started up, the mouth
opening and the instrument connections
must remain open, otherwise self
-
calibration
will be incorrect and the measurement data
will be incorrect.
The test device must be set up horizontally
and rest well on all support buffers.
Care must be taken to ensure that the mea-
suring nozzle in the mouth opening in the
test head is not clogged. In case of false
measuring values in low pressure, the ope-
ning can be cleaned with a 0.2
-
0.35 mm
needle.
