The compressed air used must conform to the requirements of EN 12021.
The required test accessories are given in the order list (see chapter 10 on page 18).
5.3.1 Preparing the test
1. Partially inflate the sealing pad and close with a hose clip.
2. Moisten the sealing pad with water and insert in the head cover of the
protective suit through the open closure system.
3. Continue to inflate the sealing pad until the face cuff fits tightly all round.
4. Close the sealing pad with a hose clip.
5. Close the closure system.
6. Spread out the protective suit, with the back section downward.
7. Unfasten the protective cap from the suit valve and remove the valve disc.
8. Fasten the double test cap onto the suit valve.
9. Connect one connector on the test cap to the test unit via the blue hose.
10. Ensure that both valves on the black hose of the test unit are closed.
11. Connect the other connection on the test cap to the compressed air supply
(6 bar) via the black hose.
12. Carry out the test (see chap. 5.3.2 on page 15).
5.3.2 Carrying out the test
CAUTION
!
The material becomes damaged when the suit is overfilled.
When filling the chemical protective suit, ensure that the pressure
does not rise too far over the specified values.
1. Open the blow-off valve on the black hose and fill the chemical protective
suit until the test unit shows 17.5 mbar. Close the blow-off valve.
2. Set a settling time of 10 minutes and start the stopwatch. During this time,
keep the pressure at around 17 mbar so that a pressure and temperature
compensation can take place. Top up air as necessary.
3. Open the vent valve. Reduce the pressure to 16.5 mbar. Close the vent
valve.
4. Set a test time of 6 minutes and start the stopwatch.
5. After the test time elapses, read off the pressure on the test unit.
There are no leaks in the chemical protective suit if the pressure drop is less than
3 mbar. Then disassemble the test setup and check the suit valve.
If the drop in pressure is greater than 3 mbar, check whether an error has
occurred in the test set-up. If the tests were concluded without errors, the
chemical protective suit must be disposed of.
5.4 Checking the air-tightness of the suit valve
The check is described for the Porta Control 3000 test device. It can also be
performed with other test units, although the specified values must be adhered to.
Carry out the test in accordance with EN 943-1, 6.5.1, but at 10 mbar
overpressure, at a constant room temperature (20 °C ±5 °C).
The compressed air used must conform to the requirements of EN 12021.
The required test accessories are given in the order list (see chapter 10 on page 18).
1. Remove the blow-off valve with plug-in coupling from the black hose.
2. Connect the end of the hose to the test unit.
3. Plug the pumping ball on the vent valve into the black hose so that the arrow
is pointing toward the vent valve.
4. Moisten the valve disc with clean water and insert.
5. Attach the test cap from outside onto the valve and connect to the test unit
via the connection hose.
6. Open the vent valve, use the pumping ball to generate an overpressure of
10 mbar. Close the vent valve.
7. Set a test time of 1 minute and start the stopwatch.
8. After the test time elapses, read off the pressure on the test unit.
If the fall in pressure is less than 1 mbar, the suit valve is ok. In this case:
1. Disassemble the test seutp.
2. Fasten the protective cap onto the suit valve.
If the pressure change is greater than 1 mbar:
1. Remove the valve disc and perform a visual inspection.
Valve disc and valve seat must be clean and undamaged.
2. If necessary, replace the valve disc.
3. Repeat the test.
6 Storage
6.1 Storage conditions
Dräger CPS 5800
CAUTION
!
Failure to observe the storage conditions can result in damage to the
chemical protective suit!
 Store chemical protective suit in a cool, dry, dark and airy place without
pressure or stress.
 Keep out of UV light and direct sunlight; avoid ozone.
 Observe storage temperature (see chap. 8 on page 15).
6.2 Storing the chemical protective suit
 Close zipper mechanism to approx. 5 cm before the end.
 Regularly check whether the closure system is functioning smoothly.
 Store chemical protective suit in a cool, dry, dark and airy place without
pressure or stress. Keep out of UV light and direct sunlight; avoid ozone.
Observe the permitted storage temperature (see chapter 8 on page 15).
 Follow ISO 2230 and national regulations for storage, maintenance and
cleaning of rubber products.
 Fold up chemical protective suit carefully without using pressure:
Do not crease or bend suit material, seams or closure system.

Lay sleeves across the chest part.

Roll up trouser legs and place on the sleeves.

Lay head of suit across rolled-up trouser legs.

 Place chemical protective suit inside a carrying bag and store in the
appropriate storage compartment or lay flat in a textile-lined compartment.
Avoid wear due to constant friction against the storage surface.
NOTICE
i i
Dräger recommends packing the chemical protective suit in the
transportation bag to protect it from environmental influences and to
extend maintenance intervals.
7 Disposal
This chemical protective suit may be safely buried or burned in a facility capable
of handling plastic items containing polyolefin, polyester and vinyl plastics.
Severely contaminated chemical protective suits may need to be treated as and
disposed of as hazardous waste.
Dispose of the chemical protective suit according to valid local waste disposal
regulations.
7.1 Retirement considerations
Dräger recommends that this chemical protective suit be retired from service if
at least one of the following criteria applies:
 Suit fails to pass the visual check.
 Suit fails to pass the air-tightness test.
 Suit has had prolonged exposure to intense heat and/or ultraviolet light.
 Suit has been contaminated with a toxic chemical.
 Suit has been contaminated with an unknown chemical.
 Suit has reached the end of its storage life.
Retired suits that are not contaminated may be labeled and used "For Training
Only". The labeling should be done with a permanent marker.
In case of doubt please contact Dräger for more information.
7.2 Service life
