Instructions for use and maintenance SATA air star C
Attention
Only strict compliance with the specifications included in these instructions for use and
maintenance can guarantee the safe and efficient use of the half-mask.
SATA will not accept any liability for damage, which is caused by incorrect or unreasonable
use of the half-mask, as well as maintenance and repair works, which are not carried out
by SATA or an authorised business partner. In addition, it must also be noted that respira-
tory equipment must only be used by trained skilled personnel. These persons or their line
managers must be familiar with both the limits to the areas of use of the device and the
applicable statutory instruments in the country of use.
Warning!
Read these Directions for Use carefully before the respirator is used for the first time. The
requisite accident prevention rules, workplace regulations and guidelines, as well as the valid
laws and limitations, e.g. rules on the use of respirators (BGR 190) when painting (BGR 500)
etc., must be observed. The respirator must always be disconnected from the compressed-air
supply system prior to any repair and maintenance work.

Instructions for use and maintenance SATA air star C
The SATA air star C Respirator Set is a highly effective facility for health protection while painting or per-
forming other work in a health-hazardous environment. The set consists of a half mask which is supplied
with filtered respiratory air, a waistbelt unit with activated-carbon filter, and an additional connection for
a compressed-air unit, fig. 1, or alternatively, a waistbelt unit without activated-carbon filter and without
connection for a compressed-air unit, fig. 2, and a compressed-air supply hose. The operator must ensure
that the air sucked in by the compressor is free of harmful gases, vapours and particles (e.g. exhaust
gases of combustion engines or furnaces, solvent vapours) in conformity with the statutory requirements
specified in DIN EN 12021. The half mask respirator can be used in an explosive atmosphere. To remove
compressor-included pollutants from the respiration air, e.g. oil mist, an additional compressed-air filter
with pressure gauge (e.g. SATA filter 444) must be interposed between the activated-carbon adsorber and
the waistbelt unit, fig. 1, or alternatively, between the wall-mounted activated-carbon adsorber SATA filter
464 and the air supply network. The connection between the compressed-air supply system B, fig. 1, or
E, fig. 2, and the given waistbelt unit must be established with an approved compressed-air supply hose
(heat resistant, max. 10 m) with a rapid-action safety coupler, e.g. SATA Art. No.49080 (6m)
Minimum operating overpressure required *) 4 bar
Minimum volumentric flow rate required 150 Nl/min
Maximum volumentric flow rate required 305 Nl/min
Standard version:
Max. operating overpressure without compressed-air tool 6 bar
Max. operating overpressure with compressed-air tool 8 bar
(Pressure indication must be within the green area; close the control
valve should this prove to be necessary)
The SATA air star C fulfils the requirements of the standard EN 14954, class 3A.
Alternative version:
Max. operating overpressure 4,5 bar
Operating temperature 4°C bis 60 °C
Max. hose length 10 m

Instructions for use and maintenance SATA air star C
The service life of the activated-carbon cartridge and the quality of the
respiratory air depends primarily upon the level of precleaning of the
supplied compressed air. For this purpose it is necessary to interpose
the SATA filter 444 with condensate drain. This device filters nearly
all water and dust particles out of the compressed air. The fine filter
cartridge must be exchanged (change every 6 months at the latest;
see Operating Instructions SATA filter 400) when the pressure difference
between the manometer mounted on the SATA filter 444 ( Art. No. 92296)
is larger than 1 bar.
An activated charcoal filter (D) is included for further
removal of oil vapors from the breathing air. The SATA
filter 464 (Art. No. 92247) and the SATA filter 494 (Art.
No. 92338) should regularly be maintained and tested
for perfect function. The activated charcoal filter
cartridge should be changed every 3 months in order
to avoid saturation.
The time indicator for a regular filter change is part of the scope
of delivery of each filter and each exchange filter cartridge!
For standard version, air cleaning unit 55798
Once the service life has expired (approx. 3 months), see date clock on
protective cage, the activated charcoal cartridge has to be exchanged.
Just turn protective cage to the left and remove. Unscrew transparent
PVC bell and install new activated charcoal cartridge (exchange every
three months). Put included date clock on protective cage. The control
valve for the volumentric air flow rate is designed in such a manner that,
at a minimum operating pressure of 4 bar without compressed-air unit,
approx. 150 Nl/min cleaned air is supplied to the half-mask respirator
(pressure indication still within the green area). The volumentric air flow
rate can be increased to over 300Nl/min by opening the control valve
(position -H-).
- With the alternative version, industrial belt unit 58941
When the activated charcoal filter cartridge has become saturated, uns-
crew the filter tube on the SATA filter 464, unscrew the filter cartridge, and
insert a new filter cartridge in reversed sequence (change interval every
3 months). Unscrew the viewing window, remove the old indicator strip
and insert a new one. The control valve for the volumentric air flow rate
is designed in such a manner that, at a minimum operating pressure of
4 bar, approx 150 Nl/min cleaned air is supplied to the half mask respi-
rator. The volumentric air flow rate can be increased to over 300 Nl/min
by opening the control valve (position -G-).

5.1 Putting the half-mask on
(1) Pull the loops of the holder frame to the end of the bands.
Pass the lower bands through completely until the loops
of holder frame are next to the mask cap of the half-mask
body.
(2) Pull the lower bands and the respirator hose over the
head.
(3) Put mask over mouth and nose, then put the holder
frame onto the back of the head, passing the holder
frame above the ears.
(4) Pull the strap ends until the half-mask is rmly applied to
the face. Adjust upper and lower bands, if necessary
readjust the bands until the half-mask ts comfortably
and rmly onto the face.
5.2 Functional check
A performance and leakage test should be completed with the entire set prior to each use.
The performance test includes checking the sealed fit on the mask, correct seat of the mask
and straps and the inhaling and exhaling valves as well as a performance and leakage
test (briefly submerge the air-cleaning or waist belt unit in clear water while it is under
pressure and ready for operation). Not everyone can wear mask respirators. All persons
who ware to wear mask respirators must be medically examined in line with the requisite
industrial medicine regulations for wearers of respirators at work and in life-saving services
(“Berufsgenossenschaftliche Grundsätze für arbeitsmedizinische Vorsorgeuntersuchungen
G 26: Träger von Atemschutzgeräten für Arbeit und Rettung”; Published by A.W. Gentner-
Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany. Furthermore, the valid laws and limitations, e.g. rules on the use
of respirators BGR 190 must be observed.
5.2.1 Tightness check of the half mask
For checking the tightness breathe thoroughly. Inside the mask a slight underpressure must
be noted. In the sealing area no leaking must be felt during breathing. If necessary, the way
the mask is placed on the head must be corrected (retighten straps). Beards or low-lying
cheek bones can impair the required tight seat of the half mask - danger of poisoning! Use
is only permissible with a leak-proof half mask.
5.2.2 Visual examination of the valves
Visual examination of inhalation diaphragm: Disassemble inhalation diaphragm and exami-
ne visually. Assemble inhalation membrane behind the fixing pin. The inhalation valve mem-
brane should lie evenly on the sealing area within the mask. Ensure that the membranes do
not stick to the valve seat.

Visual examination expiration membrane:
Remove mask cap from the mask. Grasp the edge of the expiration mem-
brane and pull out. Check valve seat for contamination and damages, if
necessary clean. Press the examined expiration membrane into the valve
seat until it engages. The membrane should lie evenly and at. Ensure that
the membranes do not stick to the valve seat. The membranes must be
replaced every two years at the latest.
Completing the half-mask
Arrange the head bands, attach the mask cap to the mask body by rst connecting it to
the nose area, and then by pressed rmly on the expiration air valve area until it engages
completely. Attention: Do not press against the thin bars of the exhalation valve. Risk of
breakage! Check headbands for free movement after unlacing.
5.2.3 Other verification (see illustration on page 1)
- Check service life of the filter cartridge (D)
- Check the control valve (G) for smooth action.
- Check the volumetric air flow rate indicator (K) for damage.
- Check the performance of the compressed-air filter (B).
If necessary, clean the sinter filter and replace the fine filter cartridge
(see Operating Instructions SATA filter 400).
Warning: On account of their specific design, compressed-air hose respirators with half
mask for respiratory protection must not be used in a poisonous ambient atmosphere in
which oxygen deficiency prevails or in which the maximum workplace concentration value
(MAK and TRK) is exceeded 100-fold.
- The air supply for the respirator is independent of individual requirements. The actual
respiratory air requirements of the mask wearer can be individually adjusted with the con-
trol valve (H).
- The respirator must only be operated with the approved compressed-air supply hose (max.
lenght 10 m) with safety rapid-action coupler (e.g. SATA Art. No. 49080, 6 m)
Warning: To disconnect the safety rapid-action coupler simply depress the coupling nipple
into the coupler and simultaneously push back the sliding sleeve.
- Always ensure that the sucked-in compressor air is not contaminated by ambient conditi-
ons such as the exhaust gases of combustion engines, the flue gases of heaters, solvent
vapours, etc., and that it complies with DIN EN12021.
Warning:
- During extremely high work performance, the peak inhalation pressure inside the half
mask can become negative

Warning: The eprotective effect is only assured under the following circumstances:
1. Standard version
Pressure indication is within the green area. The pressure reading should always be
checked possibly to raise the operating pressure whenever commencing work with the
air-supplied half mask respirator, but particularly when a spray gun is simultaneously
operated.
2. Alternative version
The minimum operating pressure at the compressed-air filter (B) amounts to 4 bar
(adjust the operating pressure accordingly should this prove to be necessary).
Maintenance work may only be carried out by trained skilled personnel.
7.1 Cleaning and disinfection
The mask can be easily dismantled without tools for cleaning purposes or to replace defecti-
ve parts. If spare parts are required, only use original spare parts from SATA. The half mask
must be thoroughly cleaned after each use to remove interior perspiration and condensation.
After each cleaning we recommend checking the breathing apparatus function (see chapter
5.2 Functional Check)..Cleaning should be accomplished after six months at the latest, even
if the mask has not been used. Use the half mask respiratory protection cleaner, Art. No.
134965 for correct disinfecting.
The half mask must be disinfected at regular intervals (weekly intervals whet it is used every
day, and every six months for masks that are not air-tight packed). If the same half mask is
being used by several people, then it must be disinfected each time the wearer changes. In
such instances, it would be more appropriate to ensure that each person has his or her own
air-supplied half mask respirator. We recommend “Incidur” disinfectant made by Henkel.
New originally packed masks must be stored under optimum conditions at room temperature
and in well ventilated rooms. Storage temperature: -10° C to 55° C at < 90% rel. air humidity.
The masks can be stored for six years under the aforementioned conditions in their original
packaging (polyethylene bag and box). Extreme temperatures may affect the service life of
the masks.
Do not store the masks in Combi-Cubicles. Masks in use must be stored in special storage
cabinets or other suitable containers in order to protect them from dust and vapours. Masks
may only be stored when they are completely dry. They may not be exposed to direct sun-
light and must be kept away from heat sources. Never immerse masks in solvents.

Defective or worn out parts must be immediately replaced, but only if the operating instruc-
tions list the item concerned as a spare part. Otherwise, the respirator must be returned
for repair.
Warning: If spare parts are required, only use original spare parts from SATA.
The membrane of the exhalation valve is removable. The inhaling valve can be drawn over
the plastic pin of the connecting piece. Ensure that the valve membrane is not torn when
it is returned. A performance and leakage test must be completed after parts that influence
the air-tightness of the half mask have been exchanged. The respirator will only function
safely if the activated charcoal cartridge has been correctly and completely inserted in the
filter case.
