Introduction - RPB RADEX AIRLINE FILTER Mode D'emploi

INTRODUCTION

The Radex filtration System (Comprising
®
of the Radex
®
Monitor) meets the following specifications
when used in accordance with the User
Instruction Manual.
ANSI / Compressed Gas Association
Commodity Specification for Air,
G-7.1-1989.
Federal OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 "Compressor
Operations for Breathing Air" Army Corps of
Engineers EM385-1-1, Section 30.F.04.
OSHA Regulations place the responsibility
for the quality of compressed breathing air
with the user. Compliance with federal, state,
or local regulations is the responsibility of the
user and this statement does not supersede
any existing rules, regulations, or laws
which may apply. The Radex
system meets or exceeds CGA Grade-D
specifications for air quality as adopted
by OSHA, when the components are used
in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and recommendations,
the "system" meets or exceeds federal
regulations presently in force. The user is
under obligation to comply with any changes
in the law or regulations which may occur.
The Breathing air supply compressor
must be located in a safe, clean ambient
air environment, constructed and situated
so as to prevent entry of contaminated air
into the air supply system and as detailed
in OSHA Regulation (29 CFR 1910.134(i))
Total system Grade-D air quality must be
tested at the time of initial setup. This "safe"
location must be tested periodically using
the correct instruments to ensure clean
ambient air quality on a consistent basis. If
the compressor is moved, retesting air quality

is recommended. Should the compressor
Gas
® location or environment significantly
change, the air quality should be retested.
The compressor filters and oil level should
be checked daily and changed during
regular scheduled maintenance or when
contaminated.
The Radex
is not capable of removing Carbon Monoxide
and other toxic Gases from the Compressed
Air and requires the GX4
No. 08-400 to be connected to complete
a system that is compliant with OSHA
regulation 1910.134(i)(7) "For oil-lubricated
compressors, the employer shall use a high-
temperature or carbon monoxide alarm, or
both, to monitor carbon monoxide levels. If
only high-temperature alarms are used, the
air supply shall be monitored at intervals
sufficient to prevent carbon monoxide in the
breathing air from exceeding 10 ppm."
The Radex
used according to the instructions and
recommendations specified in the Users
Instruction Manual. The standard filtration
package is not explosion-proof and should be
located in a non-explosive environment.
The User must perform a Calibration Check
monthly or if the accuracy of the monitor is
in question, Should the Calibration Check
indicate a fault, the unit will provide a service
center contact number and email address.
Breathing air quality should be tested for,
but not limited to, the following Grade-D air
components:

O2 - Oxygen
 CO2 - Carbon Dioxide
 CO - Carbon Monoxide
