1.1. General

3The SSP200K Complete Air Kit system is NOT designed for use in atmospheres containing flammable gas mixtures.

3The SSP200K is designed for use against contaminants which are NOT immediately dangerous to life and health or where self contained

breathing apparatus is not essential.

3SSP200K is designed for use with COMPRESSED AIR ONLY. DO NOT USE WITH COMPRESSED OXYGEN OR OXYGEN ENRICHED AIR.

3No protection is given unless the mask is correctly fitted and an adequate supply of breathing air is maintained.

3Only when the equipment is correctly donned, and worn, will it provide the prescribed degree of protection.

3The SSP200K is the correct apparatus for persons with a beard or facial hair. DO NOT use a half mask.

3A combination of wall mounted filter SSP21X and belt mounted carbon filter unit WILL NOT remove Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide,

or other toxic gases. Wall mounted filter SSP21X is designed to squeeze out particulate and moisture from the air supply.

3If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of the equipment for the work to be undertaken, consult your supplier.

1.2. Negative Pressure

3At high work rates you may experience air pressure within the mask being momentarily NEGATIVE as the user breathes in.

3The apparatus has a maximum flow of 232 ltr/min and must not be used where work rate will require a supply in excess of 232 ltr/min.

1.3. Compressed Air Supply

3The user MUST ensure that the air supply range to the apparatus is within the limits recommended.

3If air supply ceases, or is significantly reduced, immediately withdraw from contaminated atmosphere and check system for faults.

3.1. Air Quality:

The wall mounted coalescing filter SSP21X used in conjunction with the belt mounted carbon filter will give breathing quality air to BS4275 if

the correct maintenance and servicing instructions are followed (Part 7). These standards state that air supply for breathing should NOT

contain impurities in excess of:

3.2. Compressed Air Supply Tube:

The approval granted for this equipment includes the compressed air supply tube; it is therefore essential that the equipment is used only

with listed tubes (see parts list).

3.3. Working Temperature and Storage:

The SSP200K is designed to operate in the temperature range 1.50C to 500C with humidity up to 80% RH. It is recommended that the

equipment is stored in the temperature range of 00C to 400C, humidity up to 80% RH. When not in use the equipment should normally

be stored in clean, dry conditions preferably in a container, i.e. a plastic bag.

3.4. Air Supply Pressure:

The SSP200K Kit is designed to operate with a compressed air supply pressure of 4-10bar (60-145psi), measured at the input to the supply

tube. The mask requires a minimum supply of 160ltr/min (5.4cfm) and if used with a spray gun a minimum of 620ltr/min (21cfm) must be

available at 6bar (90psi).

When setting up to work with the kit check:

4.1. That it is possible to measure the air supply pressure.

4.2. That the compressed air supply will deliver within the required pressure range (see 3.4).

4.3. That the air supply is to breathable standard (see 3.1).

4.4. That there is sufficient length of compressed air supply tube for the operator to carry out the work in hand and to enter and leave

the work area without removing the protective equipment.

Carbon Monoxide....5ppm (5.5mg/m3) Carbon Dioxide....500ppm (900mg/m3) Oil Mist Particles....0.5mg/m3

Note: Air should be free of odour and contamination. We recommend fitting a pre-filter before the coalescing filter.

The kit is designed for use against contaminants which are not immediately dangerous to life and health, or where self contained breathing

apparatus is not essential. It is possible that, at very high work rates, the air pressure within the mask may momentarily become

negative as the user breathes in. If this happens, seek technical advice. The kit is designed for use with compressed air only,

(compressed oxygen enriched air sources must not be used). Should there be any doubt about the suitability of the equipment for the work

at hand, consult your supplier. If the air supply ceases or is significantly reduced, immediately withdraw from the contaminated atmosphere

and check the system for faults.

WARNING REMINDER!

iii) Re-test.

iv) If the flow indicator is damaged or remains in the red or green sectors when air pressure is not switched on, replace the flow

indicator before using the apparatus (see parts list item 18).

Note: If, upon re-test, the indicator is still within either red section, the apparatus should not be used without a complete examination

of the equipment and air supply followed by a further re-test.

3. OPERATING PARAMETERS

6. DONNING THE APPARATUS

Under COSHH regulations the equipment must be checked at monthly intervals (use a record card). Care taken during and after use will

ensure that the equipment gives reliable and lasting service.

The system is designed to minimise servicing. Worn or damaged components can be replaced as sub-assemblies (see parts list).

7.1. Cleaning

The apparatus should be washed with a mild soap solution, wiped clean with a clean damp cloth and allow to dry.

Rinse the mask with a mild detergent in tap water (see 7.3) and dry with a soft clean cloth.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVES as they will damage the equipment. See 7.3. for recommended cleaning agents.

7.2. General Maintenance.

7.2.1. Preset Regulator

This regulator is preset and sealed and can only be replaced as a complete unit.

7.2.2. Belt Mounted Filter Unit

The unit has a replacement element (Item 8) contained in a screw on/off bowl housing. This element must be replaced if its colour

changes from white to pink, or if there is any trace of odour. It is suggested that the filter unit is periodically subjected to a pressure

differential test at full flow. If a 10psi differential is recorded then the filter requires replacing. To do so, disconnected the air supply,

unscrew the element, clean the bowl with soapy water and thoroughly dry. Screw new element on (hand tight only) and check

for leaks. If the bowl is scratched, pitted or discoloured, fit a new bowl (item 9). Fit bowl hand tight only, and check for any leaks.

WARNING!: DO NOT hand wash or brush filter to reclaim for further use. Check flow indicator (parts list item 18) for damage.

7.2.3. Coalescing Filter

The unit has a screw on/off bowl housing the replaceable element. The element must be replaced if there is more than 10psi

pressure differential, or the element has become saturated. To do so, disconnected air supply, unscrew bowl, unscrew the element

and discard. Fit new element by screwing hand-tight only and check for leaks. The bowl should be cleaned with soapy water

and thoroughly dried before replacing. If the bowl is scratched, pitted, or discoloured fit a new bowl.

WARNING!: DO NOT attempt to reclaim the filter for further use, either by hand washing or brushing.

7. 3. Recommended Cleaning Agents.

a) Mild soap solution i.e. Fairy Liquid, manufactured by Lever Brothers.

b) Holts anti-static cloth Screenies for goggle or visor protection.

c) Suitable disinfectant such as manufactured by T.H.Goldsmith, Eastcote, Middlesex.
