CONTRACOR®COMFORT Art. 30000 5
1.1. Limitation of usage
• The system is not suitable for working in areas with: intense heat radiation, open res,
risk of explosion or if extremely high concentrations of hazardous matter, causing
immediate health risks, are present.
• If the ambient temperature is below the freezing point, the humidity in the
compressed air circuit can result in icing-up of coupling or regulator, blocking the
further supply of air. In such a case it is necessary to ensure that the humidity
content in the compressed air (at atmospheric pressure) is less then 50 mg/m3,
and in accordance with EN 12021. Standard compressed air circuits do usually not
comply with this requirement.
• It is not allowed to use oxygen or oxygen enriched air.
• Couplings and hose connections must be kept clean during connecting and
disconnecting.
• The maximum length of the compressed air supply hose is 40 metres and the
maximum pressure is 40 Bar and the hose is anti-static. The maximum temperature
is 130°C.
• The working pressure must be at least 5 Bar (maximum 6.5 Bar).
• Because of extreme human effort, it is possible that a temporary negative pressure
occurs in the abrasive blasting helmet, resulting in a reduction of the protection factor
of the system.
• Air speeds in excess of 2 m/s can affect the protection factor of the complete
apparatus.
• The ambient usage temperature should be
between the limits of –10 °C and +60 °C.
• When combined use is made of the compressed air, for both the abrasive blasting
helmet and the air tools (e.g. paint spray), it is necessary to ensure that, at the
maximum air consumption of the air tools, sufcient air is allowed to ow into the
abrasive blasting helmet. If necessary, the working pressure can be adjusted.
• The system may be used solely by trained personnel, who are also fully aware of the
