General information
Breathable air must meet at least the following purity
requirements:
- the impurities must be maintained at a minimum, and must never
exceed the hygienic limit value.
- the content of mineral oil must be so low that no smell of oil will
be detectable (the odour limit is around 0.3 mg/m3).
- the dew point of the air must be so low that no water will be
precipitated out and no freezing will occur inside the equipment.
- For further particulars of breathable air, see EN 132:1998, EN
12021:1998 and possibly other national regulations.

Turn the presetting knob clockwise until
the green lamp lights up. Then gradually
increase the output until the required
temperature of the outlet air is reached.
The maximum attainable temperature is
around 85 °C.
Connect the compressed air tube from
the air heater to the control valve of the
face piece.
To get best heat efficiency make sure
that the compressed air tube between
the air heater and control valve is as
short as possible (5 to 10 m) and that the
compressed air tube is not lying in snow
etc.
To switch off the heater element, turn the
presetting knob anticlockwise as far as it
will go, and disconnect the power supply
plug.
The overheating protection in the
electrical distribution box may trip
if, for example, the air flow is interrupted.
The red warning lamp will then indicate
that this has occurred.

To reset the overheating protection,
proceed as follows:
Switch off the heater element by turning
the presetting knob anti-clockwise as far
as it will go. The green lamp will then be
switched off.
Allow the heater element to cool down.
Press the reset button.
Switch on the heater element as
described earlier.
Filter change
Under normal operating conditions, the
filter element has a useful life of around
six months. However, the useful life may
vary widely, depending on the condition
of the compressed air system and the
air flow rate through the filter. The
condition of the filter element can be
assessed by weighing. The original
weight is shown on the filter element. If
the weight has increased by about 100-
150 grams, the filter should be changed.
If the smell or taste of the impurities
become detectable, the filter should
immediately be changed:
Shut off the air inlet.
Press in the ring on the underside of the
drain valve to depressurize the filter.

Cleaning
Clean the outside of the filter as
necessary, using soapy water and a
sponge or brush. The filter can also be
blown clean with the compressed air or
flushed with water.
This also applies to the SR 99H that has
degree of protection IP65 and can thus
be flushed with water.
However, always switch off the power
supply and disconnect the power supply
plug before cleaning.
The regulator with pre-collector and
drain bowl should preferably be cleaned
in conjunction with changing the filter
element.

Warnings!
!
The filter in SR 99 must always be
depressurized before the filter element is
changed or other work is done on the
filter.
For the SR 99H, make sure that an earth
fault switch is installed.
The SR 99H can be flushed with water
but must never be allowed to stand in
water.
The heater element cover must never be
removed.
At maximum power, the heater element
may become hot and may cause burns if
touched.
If the power supply cable is to be
changed or if other work is
to be done on the heater element or the
electrical distribution box, this may be
done only by a person who has the
necessary knowledge. Get in touch with
your distributor or with Sundström Safety
AB.
The SR 99H must not be connected to
uncleaned compressed air.
