Deltech Fitness 8000 Introduction, Safety Instructions, Maximum, Allowable Inlet, Carbon

INTRODUCTION

Pyramid 8000® (8DM) Series compressed breathing air purifiers are designed to reduce the concentration of oil, moisture, particulates and carbon monoxide in the airstream.

When applied at rated capacity and specified operating conditions as shown in Table III and properly main- tained, 8DM Series purifiers supply air that meets OSHA, Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Compressed Gas Association (CGA) standards for compressed breathing air quality, as well as National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for medical air quality. Refer to Table 1 for the maximum allowable carbon monoxide concentration levels at the purifier inlet.

Table I

Maximum Allowable Carbon Monoxide Concentration

	Maximum
	Allowable Inlet
Purifier Purpose	Carbon
	Monoxide
	Concentration
OSHA	400 ppm
(29 CFR 1910.134 (d)(1))
NFPA 99C* (medical air)	200 ppm
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)*	100 ppm
(CAN3-Z180.01-M85)
Compressed Gas Association (CGA)	200 ppm
(CGA 7.1-1989)

*Concentration of CO and CO2 combined must not exceed 500 ppm.

Air entering the purifier must not be oxygen deficient. 8DM Series purifiers will not increase the oxygen con- tent of purifier inlet air.

WARNING

To ensure continuing good performance and safe operation of the purifier, everyone who installs, operates, maintains or uses it must read and carefully follow the instructions in this manual. Installation and maintenance must be done only by qualified personnel.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
