7.2.6 Filling operation
DANGER
Danger of poisoning due to pollutants in breathing air!
Inhaling harmful gases can be dangerous to life.
Make sure that the air drawn in is free from toxic gases, exhaust gases or sol-
vent vapours.
Do not fill breathing air cylinders with air from workrooms.
Do not fill breathing air cylinders if the air drawn has a CO component of more
than 25 ppmV (parts per million by volume). This is applicable even when us-
ing a CO filter cartridge.
The bound CO

is released from the filter cartridge again after a pressure drop
and an extended standstill period. For this reason, after a standstill period of
more than 6 hours, purge the compressor unit before connecting breathing air
cylinders, as described below.
