Instructions for use and maintenance SATA air star C
The SATA air star C Respirator Set is a highly effective facility for health protection while painting or per-
forming other work in a health-hazardous environment. The set consists of a half mask which is supplied
with filtered respiratory air, a waistbelt unit with activated-carbon filter, and an additional connection for
a compressed-air unit, fig. 1, or alternatively, a waistbelt unit without activated-carbon filter and without
connection for a compressed-air unit, fig. 2, and a compressed-air supply hose. The operator must ensure
that the air sucked in by the compressor is free of harmful gases, vapours and particles (e.g. exhaust
gases of combustion engines or furnaces, solvent vapours) in conformity with the statutory requirements
specified in DIN EN 12021. The half mask respirator can be used in an explosive atmosphere. To remove
compressor-included pollutants from the respiration air, e.g. oil mist, an additional compressed-air filter
with pressure gauge (e.g. SATA filter 444) must be interposed between the activated-carbon adsorber and
the waistbelt unit, fig. 1, or alternatively, between the wall-mounted activated-carbon adsorber SATA filter
464 and the air supply network. The connection between the compressed-air supply system B, fig. 1, or
E, fig. 2, and the given waistbelt unit must be established with an approved compressed-air supply hose
(heat resistant, max. 10 m) with a rapid-action safety coupler, e.g. SATA Art. No.49080 (6m)
Minimum operating overpressure required *)
4 bar
Minimum volumentric flow rate required
150 Nl/min
Maximum volumentric flow rate required
305 Nl/min
Standard version:
Max. operating overpressure without compressed-air tool
6 bar
Max. operating overpressure with compressed-air tool
8 bar
(Pressure indication must be within the green area; close the control
valve should this prove to be necessary)
The SATA air star C fulfils the requirements of the standard EN 14954, class 3A.
Alternative version:
Max. operating overpressure
4,5 bar
Operating temperature
4°C bis 60 °C
Max. hose length
10 m
Sound level at minimum volumentric air flow rate
70 dB (A)
Weight of half-mask respirator
approx. 180 g
Activated-carbon adsorber
approx. 750 g
Weight of waistbelt unit without activated-carbon filter
approx. 260 g
*) Air-supply system pressure (A) at least 1 bar above the adjusted operating pressure.
When a compressed-air tool is being operated with the standard version (137554), raise the operating
pressure to the point where the required volumentric air flow rate is adjusted (pressure indication of
the air-cleaning unit within the green area).
3. Technical data
Standard version (137554)
The air-supplied half mask is made of a blend of natural rubber and neoprene, and features a variable
continuous air supply control, a waistbelt filter cartridge with control valve, activated-carbon filter,
volumentric air flow rate indicator, and seperate rapid-action couplers for incoming and outgoing air,
and the outgoing circuit to the spraygun.
Alternative version (137562)
Individual elements:
1. Air-supplied half mask as the standard version, Art. No. 137588
2. Waistbelt unit, Art. No. 58941, variable air supply (control valve), mounted on an adjustable waist-
belt with a rapid-action coupler for incoming and outgoing air.
