INTRODUCTION 

 

Designed for accuracy and ease of use, the Factair F3000 Safe-Air Tester 
is  the  fourth  generation  of  this  market-leading  instrument.  Using  the  unit 
to  conduct  monthly  checks  of  the  flow  and  purity  of  compressed-air 
breathing systems will ensure compliance to the relevant requirements of 
COSHH L5.  

 

With  speed  and  repeatability  as  prime  objectives,  the  need  for  manual 
adjustment  of  flow  and  timing  has  been  removed.  Once  the  equipment 
has  been  set  up  on  site,  tests  are  carried  out  automatically  and  the 
detection parameters of EN12021:1998 met or exceeded. 

 

Simple precautions and attention to the operating instructions will ensure 
that  the  F3000  provides  many  years  trouble-free  operation.  Please  read 
this manual fully before operating the unit. 

 

Calibration and Warranty

 

 

Safe-Air  Testers  leave  our  factory  with  a  12-month  warranty  and 
calibration certificate. Our standard turnaround on annual calibration is 10 
working days providing there is no major damage that requires extensive 
rebuild.  
 
Inside the carry case there is a laminated sheet listing the detector tubes 
that your Safe-Air Tester is calibrated for and information on how to read 
them. Alternative types of tubes may not be used without recalibration of 
the instrument by Factair.

  

 

  

    

 

The date your tester was last calibrated is shown on the digital display. 

 

Note: It is recommended that your F3000 be calibrated within a 12-month 
period. 

 

It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  user  of  this  equipment  to  ensure  that  it  is 
operated and maintained in strict accordance with these instructions. The 
Manufacturer  and  Distributor  shall  not  be  liable  for  any  incorrect 
measurement or any damages, resulting from negligence or incorrect use.
