AFU 2 & AFU 4 5
CONNECT SUPPLY
Connect breathing air supply to the
AFU inlet and ensure that the flow is in
the correct direction (indicated by an
arrow on top of the filters). Check that
inlet pressure does not exceed 16 bar.
CAUTION:
The AFU MUST be positioned
vertically or it will not function
correctly.
Ensure that the positioning of the
AFU is such that it is unlikely to be
damaged, tilted or overturned.
Ensure that the hose cannot become
kinked or constricted.
The second stage Bulls eye is showing
a white colour. Renew filter element if
the red ‘warning’ indicator is showing.
Listen for any audible leaks and ensure
that all hose connections and filter
retainers are secure. Rectify faults
immediately.
CHECK SUPPLY
PRESSURE AND FLOW
Connect breathing apparatus supply
hose to the AFU outlet. Check that
supply pressure and flow at the
extremity of the hose, adjacent to
the wearer, are in accordance with
the figures given in Table 1 or 2 (as
appropriate).
If the AFU inlet pressure is sufficient but
the hose outlet pressure is low, check
to ensure that the filters do not need
replacing. Replace the filters if required.
Once fully satisfied that the equipment
is functioning correctly, proceed to
undertake the required tasks.
WARNING:
During use, the airline supply equipment
must be under constant supervision
in order to ensure that an adequate
air supply is maintained and to alert
wearers of potential hazards.
