2 Applications and limitations
2.1 General Description
The Apollo 600 CE was specially developed and approved for blasting. (MSHA - NIOSH and EN 271)
The following Cautions and Limitations have to be followed:
-The supplied air has to be in accordance with the EN 12021.
- The Apollo 600 CE is not suitable for any other work such as welding or painting!
- Only for the use in atmospheres which do not represent any imminent danger for life and health and
which contains a minimum oxygen volume of 19,5%.
- It is not allowed to use this product with pure oxygen or with oxygen enriched air.
- Not for the use in flammable atmospheres.
- The Apollo 600 CE protects the wearer’s head and neck from impact and abrasion caused by rebound-
ing abrasive.
- The helmet is suitable for the usual vertical or a bit slopy posture of the head. In forced postures like
the horizontal posture when lying, the air indicator will not work.
- The helmet can be used at temperatures as follows:
oWorking: -6° to +40°C.
oShipping and transition -20° to +50°C
oStocking : 0 to +30°C.
- If the product is used under a temperature of 4°C the water content has to be reduced to avoid freezing
of the product.
- The supplied air must have a pressure between 6 and 8bar. To assure this pressure you can use our
Air Filter CPF 20 which has an integrated pressure regulator (Part No: 03580 D). See also 5.2.

- In the moment of highest breathing air requirement during the highest work rate, a sub pressure in the
helmet can appear.
