Limitations Of Use; Technical Information - Scott Safety PROFLOW 2 SC 160 Bedienungsanleitung

LIMITATIONS OF USE

1 This product must only be used by trained persons fully aware of workplace hazards.
2 The filtering device must not be used if the environment and contamination is unknown. In case of doubt,
isolating respirators (air supply) which function independently of the atmosphere must be used.
3 The filtering device must not be used in confined spaces (e.g. cisterns, tanks) because of the risk of
oxygen deficiency or presence of heavy oxygen-displacing gases (e.g. carbon dioxide).
4 The filtering device may be used only if the oxygen content of the air is 18–23 vol.%.
5 Gas filters do not protect against particles. Similarly, particle filters do not provide protection against
gases or vapours. In case of doubt, use combined filters.
6 Normal filtering devices do not protect against certain gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), CO
dioxide) and N (nitrogen).

7 Particle filters are only allowed for single use if they are applied against radioactive agents or micro-
organisms (virus, bacteria, fungi and spores).
8 It is likely that adequate protection cannot be guaranteed if the user's beard, hair, spectacle frames or
clothing intrude into the face seal.
9 When a breathing protector is used in potentially explosive atmospheres, please follow the instructions
given for such areas.
10 The blower must be running while using the respirator. If the blower turns off by accident, the device
ceases to function as a respirator, and carbon dioxide levels may instantly rise. This is considered an
exceptional situation.
11 At a very intense working pace, the pressure in the facepiece can change into negative pressure at peak
inhalation.
12 Protection levels may be reduced if wind speed exceeds 2 m/s.
13 Recommended operation conditions -10 °C...+30 °C, relative humidity (RH) under 75 %.
14 Filters must not be fitted directly to the the face shield or breathing hose.
15 Working with open fire or molten metal splashes poses a risk of ignition for filters containing activated
carbon (gas filters and combined filters), whereby hazardous toxic concentrations can rapidly build up.
16 The device has been tested under the following conditions: temperature +19...+28 °C, relative humidity
20–70 %.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The complete blower unit consists of a blower body, a blower, a breathing hose, a belt, a battery, and a
recharger.
Two thread filters must be attached to the blower device. The connection thread of the filters and the
breathing hose of the blower device conforms to the standard EN148-1:1999.
Always use 2 filters of the same type and class.
Display and alarm buzzer.
Rechargeable NiMH battery 9,6V/power. Battery can be recharged 400-500 times.
Accessory: Instead of the battery, one can use a power supply (230 VAC), or a lighter socket cable (12 VDC)
for vehicles. In case the optional power supplies are used, the battery (snap coupling) must be detached.
