SAFETY REGULATIONS MSA

1. Safety Regulations
1.1. Correct Use
The OptimAir 3000’s are a range of turbo filter devices for respiratory protection.
They filter known toxic substances (dangerous gases, vapours or particles) out of
the ambient air.
There is a range of different models:
OptimAir 3000 – for use in contaminated ambient air
OptimAir 3000A – for use when high flow is required (for example: use in
asbestos contaminated ambient air)
OptimAir 3000EX – for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The use of OptimAir 3000A devices is ONLY permitted with respiratory
protective full face masks OptimAir 3000 (art. no. 100 518 10) and
particle filters OptimAir 3000 (art. no. 100 496 32). All other choice of
breathing connections and/or filters is not allowed.
It is imperative that this operating manual must be read and observed when using
the OptimAir 3000 range. In particular, the safety instructions, as well as the
information for the use and operation of the apparatus, must be carefully read and
observed. The respective operating manuals of the breathing connections, filters
and battery chargers must be read and observed as well. Furthermore, the
national regulations* applicable in the user's country must be taken into account
for a safe use, including specific admission requirements for works in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
Alternative use, or use outside this specifications will be considered as non-
compliance. This also applies especially to unauthorised alterations to the
apparatus and to commissioning work that has not been carried out by MSA or
authorised persons.
Danger!
These products are supporting life and health. Inappropriate use,
maintenance or servicing may affect the function of the device and
thereby seriously compromise the user’s life.
Before use the product operability must be verified. The product must
not be used if the function test is unsuccessful, it is damaged, a
competent servicing/maintenance has not been made or if genuine
MSA spare parts have not been used.
Warning!
Any damaged unit must not be used and must be removed from a
potentially explosive atmosphere.
Any unit cannot be discarded or left unattended in these areas.

3. Use
3.1. Safety Instructions
Oxygen content and toxic material concentration
The type and concentration level of the toxic material in the ambient atmosphere
must be known.
The permitted minimum oxygen concentration of ambient air is governed by
national regulation. They have different values for minimum levels of oxygen and
this must be taken into account for safe use (typically in the range 17% to 19.5%).
Toxic gases without smell recognition
Filters used for toxic gases which do not have smell recognition on the clean air
side require special rules of use with reference to the time being used and the
use itself. If there is any doubt about the composition of the toxic gases, a
supplied air breathing apparatus must be used which is independent of the
ambient atmosphere (an isolating unit).
Filter selection
When using gas filters, ensure that no particle-type toxic substances are present,
and, when using particle filters, that there are no toxic gases present. If this is not
the case, combination filters must be used.
Working environment
A basic principle is that turbo filter devices must not be used in narrow or confined
spaces (containers, ducts, pits).
The OptimAir 3000 and 3000A must not be used if the surrounding atmosphere is
in danger of explosion.
The OptimAir 3000EX is designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
When using turbo filter devices, naked flames and liquid metal droplets (e.g. at
welding works) must be kept away from the filter due to the hazard of ignition that
can lead to hazardous concentrations of toxic substances.

Duration and conditions of use
The exhaustion of gas filters is normally detected by odour on the clean side. The
exhaustion of particle filters or the particle filter section of combination filters is
normally signalled by an increase in flow resistance. The minimum volume flow of
the air is no longer maintained and the alarm signal sounds.
When using filters for radioactive substances, micro-organisms or biochemically-
active substances, the particle filter may only be used once!

3.2. Assembly
The OptimAir 3000 range must be assembled before use.
Attention!
Do not fit the breathing tube until calibration has taken place. The air
must be able to flow freely out of the apparatus during calibration.
Fitting the battery pack
(1) Align the battery so that the formed section (curved)
and the contacts are aligned to each other.
(2) Place the battery in the apparatus and push in until
it clicks in place.
The EX battery only fits the OptimAir 3000EX
whilst the standard and long life batteries only
fit the 3000 and 3000A units.
Fitting the filter and caps
(3) Select the appropriate filter cap for the filters
required:
deep filter caps for combination filters
shallow filter caps for particle or gas filters
(4) Insert the filters in the apparatus and screw the cap
down to clamp the filters in place tightening by hand
only.
EX filter caps are identifiable by the sign ex
and colour.
Fitting the body belt
(5) Feed the strap of the body belt into the apparatus.
When using the comfort body belt, also use the
middle strap on the body belt.

3.3. Calibration and getting started
After exchanging/removing the filters
Calibration and initial Switch-on
(1) Push the ON/OFF button on the control pad for
about 2 seconds.
The unit performs a self-test. Filters must have been
installed and the calibration procedure will start
automatically (because the breathing tube is not
connected.)
The power of the blower is adjusted to suit to the
filter type. This process takes about 8 seconds. All
the LEDs light up and a warning signal sounds.
Calibration is complete as soon as the volume flow
indicator next to the battery charge indicator goes
out and the warning signal ceases.
The green LEDs indicate the charge condition of the
battery (normal display).
Calibration is only necessary if filters are
inserted or changed!
Connecting the breathing tube
(2) After calibration, connect the breathing tube with
mask or hood to the device within one minute,
otherwise the flow alarm will be activated.
(3) The OptimAir is now ready for operation.
Attention!
Only fit and remove the breathing mask or hood in toxic-free ambient
atmospheres with the apparatus running to ensure that air for
breathing is available.
